Marker
- Recommended
- Fine tip permanent marker, 0.4 mm
- Also works
- Tips from 0.4 to 0.7 mm
A fine tip keeps the line detail; thick markers swallow the strokes. Pick a tip that doesn't flatten quickly.
Supplies
Compatible Supplies and Where to Buy Them
Paper and markers are the only things that wear out with use. You don't need a specific model: any fine permanent marker and any paper of the right weight works.
Paper
- Recommended
- 180 gsm (about 67 lb), 4×6" postcard size
- Also works
- 170 gsm gloss coated, same size
Any paper of that weight in 4×6" size works. Postcards from a print shop or photo paper both do the job.
Where to Buy
Links to third-party shops are for convenience: they are searches, not specific products.
Tips Before an Event
- Test your marker and paper combination before the event, to check compatibility and how long the ink takes to dry.
- With matte or 180 gsm gloss coated paper, fine markers draw well.
- Keep spare paper and markers: they are the only things that run out.
