FAQs

What is the difference between the two tips?

One tip is a fine liner, typically around 0.5 mm - 0.8 mm, for precise details and writing. The other is a brush tip, ranging from 1.0 mm to 6.0 mm, designed for expressive lettering with variable line widths depending on pressure.

Can I refill these pens?

No, these pens are not designed to be refillable. They are intended for disposable use once the ink is depleted.

How do I create the tip-to-tip blending effect?

Touch the brush tip of one pen to the brush tip of another color. Hold them together for a few seconds. The ink will transfer, creating a gradient effect when you draw with the first pen.

Are these pens suitable for beginners?

Yes, the dual-tip design offers versatility. Beginners can start with the fine tip for control and gradually experiment with the brush tip for lettering as they gain confidence.

What kind of projects can I use these pens for?

They are excellent for hand-lettering, calligraphy, bullet journaling, illustrations, manga art, coloring books, card making, and adding decorative elements to various crafts.

How should I store the pens?

It's best to store them horizontally or tip-up to ensure the ink is evenly distributed and ready for use, regardless of which tip you intend to use.

Troubleshooting

Pen tip feels dry or ink flow is inconsistent.

Ensure the cap is properly sealed. Try gently shaking the pen downwards. If using the brush tip, ensure it's not been pressed too hard, which can cause fibers to splay.

Ink is bleeding or feathering on the paper.

The paper may be too absorbent. Try using a smoother, heavier weight paper or a paper specifically designed for markers.

Fine tip is not drawing a thin enough line.

Ensure you are using the fine tip and not accidentally using the brush tip. Apply very light pressure with the fine tip for the thinnest possible line.

Colors are not blending as expected.

Ensure both tips are sufficiently inked. Clean excess ink from the blending pen tip on scrap paper before returning to its original color. Experiment with the duration and pressure of the tip-to-tip contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The STAEDTLER Double-Ended Brush Lettering Pens are ready to use directly out of the box. Simply remove the cap from the desired tip and begin creating.

Compatibility: These pens are compatible with most paper types. For best results with the brush tip, use smoother paper to prevent feathering. They are suitable for use in notebooks, sketchpads, cardstock, and other common art surfaces.

Care:

  • Always ensure the caps are securely replaced after each use to prevent the tips from drying out. The fine tip and the brush tip often have different colored caps, or are clearly marked.
  • Store the pens horizontally or tip-up when not in use for extended periods to ensure even ink distribution.
  • To clean the exterior of the pens, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid immersing the pens in water.
  • For tip-to-tip blending, lightly touch the tips together. Wipe any excess ink from the blending pen tip onto a scrap piece of paper before returning to its original color.
