Markers and Marker tips

MARKER
The Marker is an inseparable part of the paper-like experience. It’s designed to deliver just the right friction and draws digital ink on reMarkable Paper Pro with incredibly low lag. An exceptionally precise tool, down to the smallest details.

Specifications

• Active pen technology
• 80 mAh battery capacity
• NFC Wireless charging when magnetically docked to the device
• Special high-friction Marker tip
• 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity
• 60 degrees of tilt provides an exceptional writing experience
• Weight: 15 g

MARKER Plus

Marker Plus is an unrivaled digital writing instrument. Weighted for a balanced, authentic writing experience. Along with its precise tip, the Marker Plus has a second pressure sensor built into the top end, which allows you to quickly erase whatever you’re working on by flipping it upside down.

Specifications

• Active pen technology
• 80 mAh battery capacity
• NFC Wireless charging when magnetically docked to the device
• Special high-friction Marker tip
• 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity
• 60 degrees of tilt provides an exceptional writing experience
• Built-in eraser
• Weight: 19 g

USING YOUR MARKER

Pressure sensitivity

The marker is pressure sensitive (4,096 levels to be exact), which allows you to draw thicker and thinner lines just by adjusting your pressure on the marker.

Tilt

The marker reacts to tilt angles up to 60 degrees relative to the vertical position, which lets you draw and write with a paper-like feeling. By tilting the marker, you can add shading and vary the thickness of your stroke. The tilt is only available for certain sketching tools.

Rest your hand on the display

The reMarkable Paper Pro display features palm rejection technology, enabling you to draw, write, and navigate while resting your palm on the display.

MARKER TIPS

The Marker tips are carefully designed to deliver a paper-like writing experience. Just like a traditional pencil, swapping out a blunt tip for a fresh one helps keep your handwriting both smooth and precise. Each Marker comes packaged with spare tips stored in the Marker box. Both the Marker and Marker Plus come with a supply of nine spares stored in a convenient Marker tip card. Changing from an old used tip to a new one requires no extra tools and takes just a few seconds.

Durability

The durability of Marker tips depends on your writing technique and is therefore individual to every person. Both the amount of pressure you apply when taking notes or drawing on the CANVAS display, and how often you use your reMarkable Paper Pro will affect how often you need to replace them. Our best estimate for an average person who writes on their reMarkable Paper Pro every day is anywhere between three and seven weeks. While it will wear down slowly over time, you’ll still be able to write and use the Marker tip right up until it can no longer connect with the display. However, the tip will get blunter and may feel less comfortable to use before this happens. As with any precision instrument, from a chef’s knife to a carpenter’s chisel, you’ll get the best from your Marker if you keep it sharp. Replacement Marker tips are available for purchase from our webshop.
