STAEDTLER Lumocolor 317 M — permanent universal pen that writes on almost anything
permanentM 1.0 mmBox of 4Refillable
The STAEDTLER Lumocolor permanent pen 317 M is a universal pen with a line width of approx. 1.0 mm, supplied as a STAEDTLER box of 4 in assorted colours. It writes smudge-proof and waterproof on almost all surfaces — film, glass, metal, plastic, CDs/DVDs and cardboard — and dries in seconds, which also helps left-handers.
The tip is locked and cannot be pushed into the barrel, the barrel and cap are polypropylene with a housing made of 97% recycled plastic, and the pen is airplane-safe thanks to automatic pressure equalisation. Black is lightfast. Made in Germany.
Before you order: Permanent ink does not wipe off whiteboards or film. If you need to correct or reuse the surface, choose the non-permanent Lumocolor 316 instead.
What's in the Box
- 1 × STAEDTLER box with 4 Lumocolor 317 M pens in assorted colours
What It Means in Practice
- Label cables, storage boxes, sample bags, CDs and plastic parts — the writing stays put.
- The fine 1.0 mm line suits small labels and technical marking.
- When a pen runs dry, refill it with the 487 17 refill station instead of replacing it.
What Will Not Work
- Removable notes — the ink is designed to stay.
- Whiteboards — use whiteboard markers (Lumocolor 351) for dry-erase use.
- Refill stations for other Lumocolor families (e.g. 488 48 is for duo markers 348).

Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Lumocolor is the reference universal pen in many offices, labs and workshops. Decide first whether the writing must stay (permanent 317/318) or be wiped off (316), then pick the line width. More writing instruments are in
our stationery range.
✓ Buy it if you mark plastic, glass, metal or film and need the writing to last.
✕ Skip it if you need to erase or reuse the surface.
→ Also consider Lumocolor 316 (non-permanent) or a different line width (S, F, M).
