How many pens come in a set?

What is the smallest nib size included?

The set includes a 0.2mm fine nib for high-precision detailing.

Is the ink truly waterproof?

Yes, once the ink has fully dried, it is waterproof and suitable for watercolor techniques.

Can I refill these pens?

Troubleshooting

Ink flow appears inconsistent or scratchy.

Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use and store the pen horizontally for an hour to allow the ink to settle back into the nib.

The ink smudges when applying watercolor.

Allow more time for the pigment to fully set and bond with the paper fibers before introducing water-based media.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These pens are ready to use out of the package. To maintain the integrity of the nibs and ink flow:

  1. Storage: Always store the pens horizontally or with the cap securely closed to prevent the nibs from drying out.
  2. Surface Compatibility: Best used on high-quality drawing or marker paper to ensure the pigment absorbs correctly without feathering.
  3. Post-Use: Ensure the cap is snapped firmly into place after each use to prolong the lifespan of the pigment.
  4. Application: Apply light, consistent pressure rather than heavy force, especially with the fine nibs, to maintain the structural integrity of the tips.
