• 8mm reversible nib (bullet + chisel) for medium fills and bold lettering • Pigment-based water-based acrylic ink • Permanent and lightfast on most surfaces once dry • Refillable with Liquitex Acrylic Ink • 16 colours including 2 metallics
The mid-size nib in Liquitex's new acrylic marker range — an 8mm reversible nib that's genuinely two tools in one. Pull the nib out with a fingernail, flip it, push it back in: chisel edge on one side, bullet tip on the other. Sized for bold lettering, sign-painting, posters, surface fills on canvas, and graphic mark-making where 2mm is too thin and 15mm is too brick-sized.
Liquitex was founded in Cincinnati in 1955 by Henry Levison and is now part of Colart, the Wembley-based group that also owns Winsor & Newton. The marker range carries the same pigments Liquitex use in their Heavy Body and Soft Body acrylic paints — pigment-based and lightfast (ASTM I or II rated for 50–100+ years in gallery conditions), not dye-based.
The chisel side handles variable stroke widths (held flat for a broad sweep, on the corner for a sharper edge) and lays clean letterforms for hand-painted signage. The bullet side covers consistent round marks, ink-heavy fills, and even coverage on textures like wood grain or fabric weave. Press the nib on scrap paper a few times before first use to prime the pump-valve flow.
Works on paper, card, wood, glass, metal, plastic, fabric, leather, stone, and primed canvas. Refillable with Liquitex Acrylic Ink and replaceable nibs. Water-resistant when fully dry; layer once dry to build opacity.
