STAEDTLER 356 WP6 Lumocolor Flipchart Markers – Assorted Colours (6 Pack)
Product description
What it is and what it solves
The STAEDTLER 356 WP6 Lumocolor markers are designed for use on paper, with ink that resists bleeding through. This six‑colour pack is aimed at bringing variety to flipcharts, presentations and quick note‑taking, offering a practical option for anyone who wants clear, legible writing without a messy bleed‑through on the page.
How it performs
On the page, the ink is water‑based and described as low‑odour, which makes them more comfortable for prolonged use in shared spaces. The marker dries in seconds, a helpful attribute if you’re writing quickly or left‑handed. The bullet tip provides a consistent line width of about 2.0 mm, which works well for headings and emphasis without being too thick for smaller notes.
Pros and cons
Pros: quick drying, low odour, low bleed on paper, dry safe (you can leave uncapped for days without the ink drying up), and a practical 2.0 mm bullet line for emphasis. Cons: the set is 6 colours, so if you need very fine detail or a broader colour range, you might want to supplement with additional markers. The description doesn’t specify lightfastness or water resistance once set, so for long‑term displays you may want to test on your chosen paper.
Who it’s for
This set is well suited to teachers, students, and office users who need reliable, quickly legible writing on paper, especially for flipcharts or dry‑erase style notes that aren’t intended to stay permanent. If your work involves long sessions at the whiteboard or frequent note‑taking on paper with minimal bleed, these could be a sensible, value‑focused option.
When it makes sense to buy
Consider this pack if you’re starting to build or refresh a basic colour set for paper‑based presentations and want markers that won’t distract with strong odours or slow drying. It’s also reasonable if you value the ability to leave markers uncapped for a short period without risking a dried tip.
What to check before you buy
- Ensure the ink type (water‑based) aligns with your workspace and paper choices.
- If your priority is long‑term permanence, verify whether these markers meet your requirement for durability beyond the initial display.
- Confirm that the colour selection matches your typical flipchart or note‑taking needs.
