STAEDTLER Lumocolor 356 B Flipchart Markers — Chisel Tip, Set of 6
Chisel tip 2-5 mmWater-based inkNo bleed-throughDRY SAFE
The STAEDTLER Lumocolor 356 B is a flipchart marker with a chisel tip and water-based ink, supplied as a set of six assorted colours in a stand-up STAEDTLER box — made for writing on flipchart pads and paper in workshops, training rooms and classrooms.
The chisel tip gives two widths from one marker: about 2 mm on the narrow edge for text and up to about 5 mm on the broad edge for headings and highlighting. STAEDTLER designs the ink for paper: it does not bleed through to the next sheet, it is colour-intensive and low-odour, and it dries in seconds, so left-handed writers do not smear what they have just written. DRY SAFE means a marker left uncapped will not dry out, even for days.
Before you order: This is a flipchart (paper) marker — it is not for whiteboards. For whiteboards and glass boards, use the Lumocolor 351 B whiteboard marker. If you mostly write small text, the bullet-tip 356 is easier to control.
What's in the Box
- 6 Lumocolor 356 B flipchart markers with chisel tip
- Colours: red, blue, orange, green, violet, black (one of each)
- STAEDTLER stand-up box that doubles as a desk holder
What It Means in Practice
- Write on one flipchart sheet without the ink showing through on the sheet underneath.
- Ink dries in seconds — you can tear off and hang sheets on the wall straight away.
- Black and blue for text, red for emphasis; green, orange and violet for grouping ideas in workshops.
- Caps left off during a session, or even for days, do not dry the markers out (DRY SAFE).
- The water-based ink washes out of many textiles — useful in training rooms and classrooms.
- Refillable with the STAEDTLER refill station 488 56; airplane-safe design.
What Will Not Work
- Whiteboards and glass boards — use the Lumocolor 351 B whiteboard marker for dry-wipe surfaces.
- Permanent marking on plastic, metal or glass — the ink is water-based for paper.
- Fine detail and small handwriting — the chisel tip is wide; take the bullet-tip 356.
- A guarantee that every fabric will wash clean — STAEDTLER says it washes out of many textiles, not all.

Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Flipchart markers and whiteboard markers look alike but are not interchangeable: whiteboard ink is made to wipe off, flipchart ink is made to stay on paper without bleeding through. The chisel-tip 356 B suits facilitators who write headings readable across the room. Browse our
stationery range for whiteboard markers and other meeting-room supplies.
✓ Buy it if you run workshops, trainings or classes on flipchart pads and want ink that does not show through the next sheet.
✕ Skip it if you write on whiteboards or glass (take the Lumocolor 351 B).
