Permanent Marker - Pica VISOR, Longlife Industrial Marker, Red, with Holster, Refillable, 990/40/SB

Pica VISOR Permanent Marker, Red, 990/40/SB

Pica VISOR is a permanent industrial marker with red ink, described by the maker as a Longlife Industrial Marker. It comes in a protective holster with a clip and is refillable. The SB suffix denotes blister packaging.

The holster is not an accessory

The orange holster with clip is part of the product. The marker slides in whole and rides in a pocket or on a belt without marking clothing and without breaking the tip. On a marker that travels in workwear all day, that is the difference between a tool that lasts and one replaced every month.

Refillable, not disposable

The Longlife designation comes from the marker being refilled rather than thrown away when the ink runs out. Over time that is both cheaper and less waste - the body, holster and clip stay in service.

Permanent ink

The ink is permanent - the mark survives handling, dust and damp. For labelling that has to last through transport or time outdoors, that is the requirement. For setting-out lines that later get in the way, the graphite Pica-Dry range, whose mark rubs off, is the better tool.

Why red

Red reads well on light and metallic surfaces and stands apart from the black marking usually already present. That is why a red marker is often the second one in the bag - for corrections and for whatever must not be missed.

Industrial, not stationery

The range is built for work surfaces rather than paper: metal, plastic, wood, cardboard and smooth substrates. The difference from an office marker is in the ink and the durability of the tip, not merely in what is printed on the barrel.

Storage

Return the marker to its holster with the cap closed. Left open, the tip dries - with permanent inks that happens faster than with water-based ones, because the solvent evaporates.
