FAQs

Can these pens be used with alcohol markers?

Yes, the ink is specifically formulated to be compatible with alcohol-based markers without bleeding.

Are these pens lightfast?

Yes, the pigment ink is lightfast and designed to resist fading over time.

What is the smallest nib size included?

The set includes a 0.17mm fine nib for extreme precision.

Are they waterproof?

Once the ink is completely dry, it is fully waterproof and can be used with watercolors.

How should I store these pens?

It is best to store them horizontally to ensure even ink distribution.

Troubleshooting

Pen skipping or ink flow is inconsistent

Gently shake the pen for a few seconds or test it on a scrap piece of paper to prime the tip.

Tip feels dry or scratchy

Ensure the cap was fully sealed. If it persists, store the pen with the nib pointing downward for 30 minutes.

Ink smudging after application

Wait longer for the ink to fully cure, especially if working on high-gsm or non-porous art paper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile range of tip sizes for various artistic styles
  • Waterproof and fade-resistant ink ensures longevity
  • Excellent performance with alcohol-based markers
  • Ergonomic barrel design for comfortable long-term use

Cons

  • Requires a short drying period before applying wet media
  • Not intended for use on porous surfaces that may bleed
  • Caps must be closed tightly to maintain ink flow

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Lyra Graduate pens, always store them horizontally when not in use to keep the ink flow balanced between the nib and the reservoir. Always snap the cap back on until you hear a clear 'click' to prevent the nib from drying out. When working, test the pens on a scrap piece of the same paper you intend to use for your final piece to ensure the ink absorption matches your expectations. Avoid pressing too hard on the fine nibs, as excessive pressure can fray the felt tips over time.
