Kaywin matches ink viscosity, surface tension, reservoir behavior and porous-fiber tip structure to control flow, line consistency and cap-off recovery. ![Kaywin brush marker tip and writing performance product specification](https://www.kaiwenpen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/%E4%BD%8D%E5%9B%BE.jpg) - **Multiple tip geometries:** fine, felt, chisel, conical, bullet, jumbo, dot, stamp, dual-tip and other configurations. - **Line-width flexibility:** range options from approximately 2.0 mm to 9.4 mm; selected brush formats can create much finer pressure-controlled strokes. - **350-meter continuous writing test:** used to evaluate flow continuity, line appearance and color consistency for ink batches. - **Tip durability checks:** pressure, rebound, wear and split-resistance evaluation helps reduce deformation or fiber failure during repeated coloring. - **Paper recommendation:** 100 g/m² or heavier for general use; 160–200 g/m² watercolor paper for better blending, wet techniques and reduced paper distortion. 01 ### Stable Ink Delivery Ink viscosity and surface tension are controlled to reduce skipping, over-wetting and visible line-density fluctuation during continuous use. 02 ### Cap-Off Performance Selected brush marker references are designed to remain usable after at least 30 minutes of cap-off exposure under controlled test conditions, with short-term rewet recovery after recapping. 03 ### Substrate-Matched Use Watercolor paper gives the best blending result. Ordinary low-weight writing paper absorbs faster and may show more feathering, bleed-through or wrinkling.

Kaywin integrates key development and manufacturing steps so one team can manage sample alignment, batch consistency and private label execution. **In-House Ink R&D**180+ proprietary formulations and Pantone/customer-sample color matching support differentiated private label development. **Integrated Production**Molding, printing, filling, assembly, inspection and packaging are controlled through one manufacturing workflow. **Global Buyer Support**Suitable for wholesalers, distributors, retailers, e-commerce brands, OEM art brands and education-channel programs.

Kaywin combines production-stage inspection, laboratory testing and third-party compliance support to help reduce approval risk before shipment. QC ### 20+ QC Checks Across Production - Writing performance and continuous line testing - Sealing, leakage and pull-force inspection - Cap ventilation and product safety checks - Color difference and ink performance measurement - Tip durability and printing adhesion - Packaging and final shipment inspection SAFE ### Child-Safe Material & Compliance Support - Water-based, non-toxic ink design using high-purity salt-free dyes - Pharmaceutical-grade PP for key plastic components - Ventilated cap structure for children’s marker lines - EN71 Parts 1/2/3/9, REACH and PAHs testing support - ASTM D-4236, CPSIA, LHAMA and CA Prop 65 documentation where applicable - ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, Amfori BSCI and Walmart FCCA factory credentials ![Kaywin laboratory writing and marker quality control testing](https://www.kaiwenpen.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/kayiwn-Laboratory-Testing-2.webp) ### Designed for Consistency Between Approved Sample and Bulk Order Batch control covers color difference, washable performance, ink stability, writing length and final shipment inspection. For custom colors, laboratory control can use a written dry-color standard rather than relying only on the printed Pantone swatch, helping buyers define a more realistic approval reference for water-based ink on paper. Compliance requirements vary by product configuration and destination market. Confirm the exact report scope required for your SKU before mass production.

What is the difference between a washable marker and a regular water-based marker?A washable marker is formulated specifically to make color easier to remove from skin, fabrics or other intended surfaces under suitable cleaning conditions. A regular water-based marker uses water as a main carrier but does not automatically provide the same washability. Can washable marker colors still leave stains on some fabrics?Yes. Results vary with fabric construction, color depth, contact time and washing conditions. Dark colors generally require tighter formulation and residue testing because they can be more visible after washing. What is the difference between dye-based and pigment-modified watercolor marker ink?Dye-based systems provide higher transparency and stronger rewetting for blending and gradients. Pigment-modified systems are more opaque and can provide stronger lightfastness for many colors, but usually have less secondary diffusion. Can a marker recover after the tip begins to dry?Short-term drying caused by leaving the cap off may recover after recapping allows internal ink to rewet the tip. Long exposure can cause irreversible drying, so cap design and cap-off testing remain important. Are washable markers suitable for both school and retail programs?Yes. The same core product platform can be configured as classroom packs, standard retail sets, seasonal gift packs or private label collections, with different color counts and packaging for each channel. Are washable fabric, textile and window markers the same as washable coloring markers?No. Washable coloring markers mainly target paper-based creative use and easier cleanup. Washable fabric markers, washable textile markers and washable window markers need formulations optimized for their intended substrate, so buyers should define the surface and removal requirement clearly.
