Product Information

Full details

The Faber-Castell Double-Ended Fibre-tip Pen Set is an essential tool for young artists, students, and coloring enthusiasts looking for versatility in a single package. Featuring 20 pens in 10 vibrant colors, each pen provides both a fine and a thick tip to handle everything from detailed outlines to broad coloring fills. While the water-based ink is excellent for smooth application and easy cleanup, users should note that these markers are designed primarily for paper-based projects and may not be suitable for permanent labeling on non-porous surfaces.

FAQs

Are these pens suitable for professional graphic design?

These are primarily designed for children and artistic hobbies; they are not lightfast or archival, making them better suited for casual projects than professional design work.

Will these markers stain clothing?

The ink is formulated to be washable from most common fabrics, but it is recommended to wash the affected area as soon as possible.

Can I blend the colors together?

While not alcohol-based blender markers, you can achieve some light blending by layering colors while the ink is still wet on the paper.

Are these markers toxic?

Faber-Castell products generally meet high safety standards for child use; however, they are intended for writing and coloring and should not be ingested.

How do I know which tip is fine or thick?

The pen barrel is designed to show the line width clearly, and the caps usually indicate the tip size, though you can quickly test on a scrap piece of paper if unsure.

Troubleshooting

The tip feels dry or skips when coloring.

Ensure the cap is tightly closed and store the pen horizontally for a few hours to allow the ink to flow back into the tip.

Ink has bled through the paper.

Use thicker paper stock (100gsm or higher) or place a protective sheet of scrap paper underneath your work.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Dual tips offer excellent versatility for line work and shading
  • Washable ink provides peace of mind for parents and teachers
  • Smooth application ensures even color coverage
  • Compact set size makes it easy to carry in school bags

Cons

  • Not intended for permanent or waterproof applications
  • Limited color range compared to professional illustration marker sets
  • Water-based ink may bleed through very thin paper

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These pens do not require any complex setup; simply remove the cap to begin drawing. To ensure maximum longevity, always ensure the cap is pressed firmly onto the pen until you hear a click, which prevents the fibre tips from drying out. Store the pens horizontally whenever possible to maintain an even ink distribution. If you are using the markers on fabrics, note that while the ink is generally washable, it is best to treat any spots immediately with soap and cold water to ensure total removal. These pens are primarily compatible with paper and cardboard surfaces.
