Staedtler Lumocolor 318 Permanent Marker – Review

October 14, 2024April 10, 2015 by Tony Bridges

Markers have come a long way since New Yorker Sidney Rosenthal’s invention in the 50’s. With a wide range now available for use on just about anything in the home, office or studio, from something as simple as labelling a few CD’s to art & graphic work there’s a marker for everyone.

The Staedtler Lumocolor 318 Permanent Marker is available in a choice of 8 colours including bright yellow, orange & violet along with a black & brown which are lightfast so no need to worry about your favourite sketch fading if left by the window.
