Both markers can be used on a multitude of surfaces. An ink marker tends to dry faster than a paint marker on any surface, but is not as permanent. Ink markers are removed easily with common solvents such as alcohols and fade rapidly when exposed to sunlight. Paint markers are much more resistant to these conditions. In addition, ink is made with a colored dye dispersed in a solvent, and usually includes a resin to help the ink adhere to a surface. Paint is made of heavier, pigmented colors which are suspended in a solvent/resin solution. Inks are generally thinner than paints and dry faster, while paints make heavier, more opaque marks. which show up well even on dark surfaces. Paint markers have to be shaken vigorously before use, while ink markers don’t need it.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Use for surveyor, engineering, shipping, warehousing, carpet laying, and construction applications. Use paint markers on non-porous surfaces, such as metals, plastics and glass, and on oily surfaces. Paint markers are particularly good for marking on dark surfaces.

Textile Markers

A paint marker is a type of marker pen that is used to create permanent writing on a variety of surfaces from paper to metal to stone. The major difference between permanent markers and paint markers is the ink is an oil-bases paint and generally requires shaking before use. In addition, the line is very opaque and, unlike spirit-based or other permanent inks, will not fade with exposure to UV light, and overlays all other colors beneath it. The paint from these types of markers is not truly permanent, as it can be removed using high pressure cleaning, paint thinning solvents such as acetone, or it can simply be painted over.
Another type of paint marker is the solidified paint pen. This is a type of marker, often contained within a twist tube, that is a cylinder of semi-hardened oil-paint with a pointed tip. As one writes with it, the point wears down and must be advanced to in order to continue writing. The marker leaves a mark similar to that of chalk. It is useful for marking on wet or oily surfaces. It is sold under the brand name MeanStreak in the United States. It is made by Sanford, the maker of Sharpies, but there are many different brands and types of solidified paint pens.
Hazards of paint markers:
Paint markers like permanent markers generally contain the toxic compounds xylene or toluene, introducing some danger when used. Like spray paint, these markers give off volatile organic compounds which can be dangerous when not used in a well ventilated area or with a particulate mask. Gloves can also be worn to avoid absorption through the skin.
