Reservoirs for Permanent Markers
Maximum ink utilization with leak protection
Porex offers two distinct reservoir technologies for use in permanent markers depending on the specific design needs of the marker:
- POREX® High Efficiency Reservoirs reduce ink waste, and improve end-of-life indication while enhancing performance, which is ideal for high-cost inks.
- POREX® XPE® Reservoirs are formed from a controlled density of fibers in an extruded seal, allowing you to contain and deliver the maximum amount of ink to your permanent markers.
Our reservoir media designed specifically for permanent markers:
- Maximize ink utilization–Our customized ink flow management solution combines a nib and reservoir to deliver the maximum amount of ink.
- Ensure leak protection–Capillary forces and materials are customized to your specific marker and ink requirements.
