Sharpies, we love them, and for many tasks there is simply no substitute.\u00a0 Here at On Time Supplies we often get questions about which markers are best or which markers are needed for certain tasks.\u00a0 In this post we\u2019d like to lend a hand and talk a bit about Sharpies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How to Choose A Sharpie Marker.<\/span><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve all encountered that moment when you know you need one.\u00a0 Maybe there\u2019s a project you need to tackle, or you\u2019ve just realized you\u2019re out and need to restock. Either way, you need the right marker for the job.<\/p>\n

The first thing you have to account for is what feels the most comfortable in your hand. \u00a0Certain projects will also logically call for larger writing formats. Sometimes the heft of a larger writing tool helps fight hand fatigue, if you’ll be using it for large swatches or long periods of time. Either way, the King Size permanent marker<\/a> is a great option. For more info on marker tips, writing styles, and formats check out our buying guide here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The real question you have to ask is, whether you need the more standard Fine Point Permanent<\/a> or the Industrial \u00a0Permanent Fine Point<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Luckily the choice is made little easier since both are water and fade resistant, giving you similar benefits in their longevity and integrity under everyday use.<\/p>\n

What you need to consider, however, is where and on what surface your everyday use occurs. \u00a0After all, everyday use at a ship yard is a far cry from the daily marker needs of a daycare.<\/p>\n

Best Sharpies for homes and offices.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The permanent fine tip is perfect for school, office, and your average home situations. The surfaces you tend to encounter being, smooth plastics, ceramics, acrylics and so on. The Fine Point Permanent<\/a> is hard to beat in these situations.<\/p>\n

Best Sharpies for frequent use.<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you have a small number of markers that get used frequently consider the Super Permanent Fine Point<\/a>. You get better value over time with this option, as it offers increased ink capacity per Sharpie.<\/p>\n

Best Sharpies for outdoors and harsh environments.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Regarding our plumbers, carpenters, general contractors, or any person who needs to mark rougher, more troubling surfaces, If you\u2019re writing on: wood, metal, glass, etc, Sharpie Industrial Markers<\/a> are<\/span><\/span> the right marker for you.<\/p>\n

Sharpie\u00ae Industrial Permanent Markers<\/a> maintain integrity on surfaces up to 500\u00b0F, they\u00a0can even perform on more watery and oily surfaces. Sometimes, even in\u00a0office or school environments,\u00a0you may\u00a0need to write outside or on any tough surface. If so the answer is simple,\u00a0go industrial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For our Contractors or anyone concerned about outdoor conditions, go with\u00a0Sharpie\u00ae Mean Streak\u00ae Marking Sticks<\/a>. Made\u00a0for especially rough, wet or oily surfaces, and outdoor use. It’s Sharpie’s strongest ink formulation, so you can rest assured that it will brave the elements better than any other option.<\/p>\n

\"Contractor<\/a><\/p>\n
