Product Information
Full details
The Sakura Koi Colouring Brush Pen Galaxy set is designed for artists, illustrators, and journal enthusiasts who require versatile, water-based color application for their creative projects. The primary benefit is the flexible nylon nib which allows for effortless transitions between fine lines and bold strokes, though users should note that the water-based dye ink is not waterproof and may bleed through very thin paper.

FAQs
Can I refill these pens?
No, the Sakura Koi Colouring Brush Pens are disposable and are not designed to be refilled.
Are these pens lightfast?
These are dye-based ink pens, which means they are not considered lightfast and may fade if exposed to direct, intense sunlight for extended periods.
What kind of paper works best?
Smooth drawing paper, marker paper, or Bristol board provide the best results and protect the nylon nibs from fraying.
Are these markers non-toxic?
Yes, Sakura Koi Colouring Brush Pens are acid-free and non-toxic, making them safe for general artistic use.
Can I use these with a blender pen?
Yes, you can use a clear blender pen or a damp brush to push the colors and create smooth gradients or wash effects.
Troubleshooting
The pen tip appears dry or ink is skipping.
Store the pen in a horizontal position for a few hours to allow ink to re-saturate the nib, or gently tap the back of the pen on a surface.
Ink is bleeding through the back of the paper.
Use thicker, higher-gsm paper, or place a scrap sheet of paper underneath your workspace to protect the surface below.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; the pens are ready to use immediately upon unboxing. To ensure the longevity of your set, always replace the cap firmly until it clicks to prevent the ink from drying out. Store the pens horizontally to keep the ink flow consistent between the reservoir and the nib. When using for watercolor techniques, apply the ink to a non-porous palette or directly to paper, and blend using a wet brush rather than dipping the pen nib directly into water, which can contaminate the internal ink chamber.
