FAQs

Are these pens truly washable?

Yes, the ink is formulated to be washable from most common surfaces like skin and clothing with soap and water.

What is the best type of paper to use with these pens?

For optimal results and to prevent bleed-through, watercolor paper or heavy-weight drawing paper is recommended.

Can I blend colors directly on the paper with these pens?

Yes, you can use a wet brush to blend colors on the paper for watercolor effects. You can also blend colors by layering them while the ink is still wet.

How long do the pens last?

The longevity depends on usage. With proper care, such as capping after each use, the ink should provide consistent color for a significant amount of artwork.

Are the colors lightfast?

The product description mentions colors are non-fading, suggesting good resistance to light, but for archival purposes, it's always best to test or consult specific lightfastness ratings if available.

Can children use these pens safely?

Yes, the ink is odorless and water-based, making it safe for children to use. Adult supervision is recommended for younger children during use and cleanup.

Troubleshooting

Pen not drawing color

Ensure the cap has been removed and the pen tip is not dry. Try gently shaking the pen or rehydrating the tip slightly if it appears dry. Make sure you are using appropriate paper.

Color bleeding slightly

While designed not to bleed, extremely thin or absorbent paper can still cause some spread. Try using thicker watercolor paper or applying color more sparingly.

Ink appears faded

Check if the pen is running low on ink. If the pen is new, ensure the tip is fully exposed and functioning correctly. Re-cap the pen when not in use.

Difficulty cleaning pigment

For stubborn stains on non-porous surfaces, a mild cleaning solution might be required. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Vibrant and consistent color output.
  • Washable nature makes cleanup simple.
  • Prevents unwanted bleeding and smudging.
  • Odorless ink is suitable for all ages.
  • Highly pigmented for rich, lasting colors.

Cons

  • Best results achieved on watercolor paper.
  • May require practice for advanced watercolor techniques.
  • Pen tips can dry out if caps are left off.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These pens are ready to use straight out of the pack. Simply remove the cap from a pen and begin coloring. For best performance, ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to prevent the ink from drying out.

Compatibility:

These pens are most compatible with watercolor paper or thick drawing paper designed to handle wet media. Using them on standard printer paper may result in buckling or bleed-through, despite the pens' anti-bleed properties. They can also be used on other surfaces for less intensive applications, but results may vary.

Care:

  • Ink Storage: Always store pens upright or horizontally with caps on to maintain ink flow.
  • Cleaning: If ink comes into contact with skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. Most common household surfaces can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
  • Tip Care: Avoid pressing too hard on the pen tip, as this can damage the nib. If the tip becomes dry, try rehydrating it by dipping it briefly in clean water (use caution and test on scrap paper first).
