Product Information

Full details

The edding 404 permanent marker is designed for precise, durable marking on a wide range of surfaces including paper, cardboard, metal, glass, and plastic. Its key benefit is the extra-fine bullet nib, which provides a consistent 0.75mm line for detailed work, making it ideal for small-item labeling. A potential caveat is that while it works on most surfaces, extreme conditions might affect its longevity.

FAQs

What is the line width of the edding 404 permanent marker?

The edding 404 permanent marker has an extra-fine bullet nib that writes a consistent line width of approximately 0.75mm.

Can I use this marker on fabric?

While the ink is permanent and waterproof on many surfaces, performance on fabric can vary. For best results on textiles, specific fabric markers are recommended.

Is the ink fade-resistant?

Yes, the ink is light-fast, meaning it is resistant to fading from exposure to light.

How do I refill the edding 404 marker?

The edding 404 is refillable using edding bottled permanent ink or the edding simple automatic refill station. Follow the instructions provided with the refill ink or station.

Are replacement nibs available for this marker?

Yes, replacement nibs are available for the edding 404, allowing you to extend the life of the marker.

What surfaces can the edding 404 NOT be used on?

The marker is designed for a wide range of surfaces. However, it may not adhere well to extremely oily, dusty, or very porous surfaces without proper preparation. It is not intended for use on skin.

Does the ink contain harmful chemicals?

No, the ink is low-odor and is formulated without toluene or xylene.

Troubleshooting

Marker not writing or ink flow is weak.

Ensure the cap has been properly removed and that the marker is not dry. Try scribbling on a test surface to encourage ink flow. If it persists, the marker may need refilling or the nib replaced.

Ink smudging during or after writing.

Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the marked surface. Ensure you are using the marker on a suitable material; some very glossy surfaces may require a longer drying time.

Writing is not permanent or washes off.

Confirm that the marker is intended for the surface material. While permanent on most, extremely slick or contaminated surfaces might affect adhesion. Ensure the marker is not an old or dried-out unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The edding 404 is ready to use straight out of the packaging. To begin, simply remove the cap. If the marker has been stored for a long time, you may need to scribble on a scrap piece of paper to ensure the ink flows smoothly.

  • Paper
  • Cardboard

Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance:

  1. Recap: Always replace the cap securely after use to prevent the nib from drying out.
  2. Storage: Store the marker horizontally or with the cap on the writing tip to maintain even ink flow.
  3. Cleaning: If the nib becomes clogged with dust or ink, gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents.
  4. Refilling: When the ink runs low, refill using edding bottled permanent ink or the edding refill station. Ensure you use the correct ink type for permanent markers.
