The Edding 751 is a fine-tipped gloss paint marker that lays down bright, opaque colour on surfaces where ordinary pens simply give up. Its rounded bullet nib produces a crisp 1–2mm line, making it the middle option in Edding's paint marker family — finer than the broad 750, broader than the extra-fine 780.
The paint-like pigment ink is the reason these markers have such a following. It dries quickly to a glossy, hard-wearing finish that is permanent, waterproof and smudge-proof, and it stays put indoors or out. Because the colour is genuinely opaque rather than translucent, it shows up cleanly on dark, transparent and awkward surfaces alike — glass, metal, stone, plastic, ceramic and coated paper among them. The ink is heat-resistant to 400°C, and free from toluene and xylene.
Like all Edding paint markers, the 751 uses a pump-action valve to feed paint to the nib. Shake the marker with the cap on, then press the tip down a few times on scrap paper until the colour flows. From there it writes smoothly and consistently until the next time you need to reactivate it. The aluminium barrel is built to be refilled rather than thrown away, and replacement nibs are available.
It is a favourite for decorating glass and pebbles, labelling studio and workshop materials, customising mirrors and ceramics, and any job that calls for a permanent, weatherproof mark with a fine, controllable line. Please note the ink is oil-based and flammable, and the marker is not suitable for use by children.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Edding 751, 750 and 780?
They are the same paint marker with three different nib widths. The 780 is the finest at 0.8mm, the 751 sits in the middle at 1–2mm, and the 750 is the broadest at 2–4mm. The ink and surface performance are identical across all three.
What surfaces can I use it on?
Almost any smooth surface — glass, metal, stone, plastic, ceramic, wood and coated paper. The opaque ink is especially effective on dark and transparent materials where ordinary markers disappear.
Is the ink permanent and waterproof?
Yes. Once dry it is permanent, waterproof, smudge-proof and lightfast, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
How do I get it started?
Shake well with the cap on, then pump the tip gently on a piece of scrap paper until the paint fills the nib. Repeat if the flow slows during use.
Is it safe for children?
No. The ink is oil-based and flammable, so this marker is intended for adult use.
