Letraset have designed a brand new marker system. We are very proud to introduce a new Tria Marker with improved design and updated colour range.

The new Tria Marker presents the unique familiarity of 3 nibs yet has a modern ergonomic design and boasts a number of key developments over it's predecessor; an improved combination to suit all design styles and stroke weights - take advantage of a new fine bullet point nib, a new brush nib and the tried and tested chizel nib.

Another design feature you will notice is the new fine nib housing which has a rubberized grip, clearly indicating nib location and providing a good firm hold to separate one nib from another. Also, both caps now contain a colour identification disc which is encapsulated inside a clear lens so it won't wear or rub off.

Tria now comes in 300 colours specially formulated to meet the needs of today's designers. These colours form the new Tria Colour Space which has a digital structure based on discrete levels of Hue, Saturation and Luminosity

Tria Markers now have a stylish crystal clear barrel which allows colour to show through, removing the need for labels so the marker stays looking good throughout it's life.

Each reference number indicates discrete levels of Hue, Saturation and Luminosity. The Hue establishes the colour, greens for example can be yellow-greens or blue-greens, Saturation shows how vivid the colour is, and Luminosity dictates how light or dark it is. A more detailed explanation is provided below.

A Tria colour reference has 4 parts:

2) Hue (First Digit, 1-9)
Each major colour is divided into 9 hue segments. Each hue segment within each major colour covers 5°. Using the diagram (click on hue), a level 1 red (R1##) will be more magenta while a level 9 red (R9##) will be more orange. A level 5 red (R5##) would be right in the middle (not pinky, not orangy). In total there are 72 hue segments, which at 5° each make up the full 360° wheel across all major colours.

3) Saturation (Second Digit, 1-9)
Saturation determines how vivid a colour is and is divided into 9 equal steps. Each step is segmented from the centre (level 1) to the outer edge of the circle(level 9). A level 1 colour is almost grey with no colour (chroma). A level 9 colour will be fluorescent. R55# would be a right in the middle red - neither too grey or too vivid.

4) Luminosity (Third Digit, 1-9)
Luminosity determines how light or dark a colour is and is divided into 9 equal steps split vertically in the diagram (click on luminosity) from bottom (1) to top (9). A level 1 is virtually black. A level 9 is virtually white (pastels). R555 is middle of the road red, whereas R559 is a real baby pink.
