A felt tip is a type of pen or marker that uses a fibrous tip to deliver ink to paper. The tip is made from felt or similar material, allowing for a smooth and consistent flow of ink. Felt tips are commonly used for writing, drawing, and coloring. They come in various sizes and shapes, from fine tips for detailed work to broader tips for larger lines or coloring. The ink in felt tips can be water-based or alcohol-based, depending on the pen, and they are often chosen for their bold, vibrant colors and smooth application.
