The edding X multi marker differs from other specialty markers like textile markers and porcelain brush pens in several ways:

1. Versatility: The X multi marker is designed to work on a wide range of surfaces, including fabric, plastic, metal, and more. In contrast, textile markers are specifically formulated for fabrics, and porcelain brush pens are intended for use on porcelain and ceramics.
2. Ink Properties: The X multi marker uses water-based, vegan ink that is quick-drying and weatherproof. Textile markers also use water-based ink but are optimised for wash resistance on fabrics. Porcelain brush pens have pigment ink that can be heat-fixed to make designs dishwasher-safe.
3. Application: The X multi marker is ideal for general creative use, allowing for spontaneous and versatile designs. Textile markers are best for decorating and drawing on light-coloured textiles, while porcelain brush pens are perfect for detailed work on porcelain and glazed ceramics.
4. Durability: While the X multi marker offers some water repellent qualities, it may not hold up to frequent washing. Textile markers are designed to withstand regular washing, and porcelain brush pens can be heat-fixed for permanent, dishwasher-safe designs
