Product Information
Full details
The Pentel Brush Sign Pen SES15C is designed for artists, illustrators, and calligraphers seeking expressive line variation. Its key benefit is the flexible fiber tip that allows for fluid transitions between thick and thin strokes, offering a brush-like experience in a convenient pen format. A potential caveat is that achieving precise, consistent fine lines may require practice due to the nature of the flexible tip. This set includes twelve pens in a range of vibrant colors, made with 81% recycled materials.

FAQs
What is the line variation range of the Brush Sign Pen tip?
The flexible fiber tip allows for line widths ranging from approximately 0.7mm when held with minimal pressure to 3mm with increased pressure, mimicking a brush.
Are these pens refillable?
No, the Pentel Brush Sign Pens are not designed to be refillable. Once the ink is depleted, the pen should be replaced.
What makes this pen eco-friendly?
The pens are part of Pentel's Recycology line and contain 81% recycled materials, reducing their environmental impact.
Can I use these pens for outlining in adult coloring books?
Yes, they can be used for outlining. However, be mindful of the paper's absorbency and practice to control the line width for finer details.
How many colors are included in this set?
This specific set, the SES15C, contains twelve different colors: Black, Red, Ochre, Grey, Orange, Blue, Green, Pink, Brown, Sky Blue, and Violet.
Is the ink permanent?
The ink is water-based and not permanent. It is susceptible to smudging if wet and can be reactivated with water.
How should I store the pens to maximize their lifespan?
It is best to store the pens horizontally to ensure the ink remains evenly distributed to the nib. Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Pen not drawing or ink flow is weak.
Ensure the cap was properly sealed. Gently flick the pen a few times to encourage ink flow. If the nib appears dry, try storing the pen horizontally for a few hours. Check that the paper surface is not too absorbent or rough.
Ink bleeding or feathering on paper.
This can occur with highly absorbent papers. Try using a heavier weight or smoother art paper. Allow layers of ink to dry completely before adding subsequent layers or washes.
Tip feels stiff or rough.
Gently wipe the tip with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth to remove any paper debris. Avoid pressing too hard on the paper, as this can damage the fiber tip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Pentel Brush Sign Pens are ready to use straight out of the package. Simply remove the cap and begin drawing or writing. Ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to prevent the nib from drying out.
Compatibility: These pens are compatible with most paper types. For best results with illustrations and calligraphy, consider using smoother, heavier-weight paper that can withstand ink without excessive bleeding or feathering. They are not intended for use on glossy surfaces. The water-based ink is generally compatible with most drawing and watercolor techniques, but testing on scrap paper first is recommended.
Care: To maintain the pens' performance:
- Cap Tightly: Always replace the cap immediately after use to prevent the fiber tip from drying.
- Store Horizontally: Store the pens horizontally to ensure even ink distribution to the nib.
- Clean Nib (if necessary): If the tip becomes clogged with paper fibers or dried ink, gently wipe it with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid excessive moisture or scrubbing, as this can damage the delicate fiber tip.
