What Are Felt Tip Pens?
Felt tip pens have porous writing surfaces with pressed, layered fibers, using water-soluble ink that dries quickly on paper. This makes them resistant to bleed-through and smearing. This fast-drying quality makes the writing implements ideal for quick work like note-taking, color sketching, and even doodling. Because the tips lay down clean, smooth lines, they’re also suitable for hand lettering. Create custom cards and designs with felt tip pens!

What Are the Features of Felt Tip Marker Pens?
The water-soluble ink in felt tip marker pens dries quickly on paper. Water-soluble ink prevents bleed-through, so users can draft on both sides of a single page or write on notepads without leaving behind marks on the next sheet. The ink also doesn’t smear, so you’ll always be able to prepare presentation-ready copy or precise sketches and illustrations with a felt tip pen.
The quick-drying ink in felt point pens is also suitable for a variety of surfaces, including various paper products like copy paper and cardstock, or plastic, and glossy cardboard labels. View Quill’s selection of gel pens for even more writing options.
What Types of Felt Pens Are Available?
Porous felt tip pens come in all widths that writers and artists prefer, including extra-fine, fine, medium, and bold. Felt pens range from 0.2 to 2.0 millimeters in width. Medium and bold felt pen tips lay down smooth lines, offering firm control on the paper surface. The narrower points leave clean, crisp lines.
Like many other pens, felt-tip varieties cater to artists as well as writers, so they come in all standard colors and eclectic shades like tangerine, mocha, cranberry, and guava. Many felt tip pens also come in neon hues, including blue, orange, yellow, and pink. The barrels of the pens are just as attractive, sometimes matching the color of the ink. Some barrels are translucent, so users can see how much ink remains.
How Can Felt Tipped Pens Be Used?
The hard tips dispense ink evenly, making them ideal for writing or fine illustrations. The spongy, more fibrous tips, normally shaped like cones, offer versatility. Felt tipped pens are useful as markers or highlighters when turned to their sides or as fine writing tools when used head-on. A felt tip pen can also be used in the classroom to create colorful artwork or to draw attention to important sections of paperwork and other documents. Stock up on felt point pens today!
