Replaces Artline EH-177US Eco-Green permanent marker by Shachihata. The Artline Kawakima K-177N Permanent Marker (75704) is engineered to solve premature marker dry-out in high-tempo industrial, shipping, and office workflows. Featuring Shachihata’s proprietary "Kawakima" dry-safe membrane ink technology, the K-177N can be left uncapped for up to two weeks without losing ink flow, ensuring immediate write-out whenever you pick it up. Equipped with a sturdy 1.5 mm round bullet tip, this marker produces bold, opaque black marks across non-porous and porous surfaces alike—including corrugated shipping cartons, stretch wrap, plastic totes, glass, and metal fixtures. The fast-drying, waterproof formula uses a low-odor alcohol base to maintain a clean working environment. Built for long-term economy, the K-177N utilizes a replaceable nib and a clean-refill system, housed in an eco-certified body made from recycled polypropylene resin.
