What are Alcohol markers ?

Alcohol Markers are also known as Art Markers or Sketch markers and are mainly used for illustration, sketching and design purposes and are classified as marker pens. The alcohol marker has a reservoir inside its body filled with alcohol ink, which is wicked into the marker nib by capillary action. There are different types of marker nibs, including felt nibs, nylon nibs and porous nibs. The porous nibs are made of plastic (open-cell porous material) with an abundant of pores in its structure like sponges.

Porous marker nib manufacturer in Japan with 40 years experiences

In the 1980’s we began research and development of porous nibs in Japan for the writing instrument industry. Since then, we have supplied the global market with porous components for writing instruments to meet each customer’s requirements. To meet our customers’ specific requirements in terms of ink flow, shapes, sizes, quality, cost and delivery time (QCD), we operate an integrated in-house system for all porous nib processes, from component design and development to raw material blending and nib manufacturing. Our aim is always to be your best partner for writing instrument development solutions.

Technical capabilities

Our porous components can be manufactured in any shape or size, not only by grinding but also by injection moulding. Our highly skilled technical development team has the expertise to respond flexibly and comprehensively to our customers’ needs. We can also adjust and control physical properties such as hardness, porosity or other functions of the nibs to meet customer requirements.
