The Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen Brush (Springtime Edition) is designed for illustrators, graphic artists, and hobbyists who require the archival quality of traditional India ink in a convenient, modern format. These pens provide excellent pigment intensity and a flexible brush tip that maintains its shape, making them ideal for both expressive brush strokes and fine detail work. One important caveat is that while the ink is waterproof once dry, it should be used on heavy-weight paper or mixed-media pads to ensure the best results, as the ink is highly pigmented.

Yes, once the India ink is completely dry, it becomes permanent and waterproof.
Yes, the ink is acid-free, pH neutral, and features excellent lightfastness, making it suitable for professional artwork.
The ink is formulated not to bleed through most standard high-quality artist papers, though thin printer paper should be avoided.
Keep the pens stored horizontally to maintain consistent ink distribution to the brush tip.
The pens are safe for both adults and children, provided the user is supervised to prevent staining of clothes or surfaces.
Store the pen with the tip facing downward for a few hours to allow ink to gravity-feed back into the brush bristles.
Ensure you are using the pen on smooth surfaces; avoid applying excessive downward pressure and always cap the pen when not in use.
Allow the ink to dry fully before applying any water or other media over the top, as the drying time can vary based on paper humidity.
To ensure your Pitt Artist Pens last as long as possible, always replace the cap immediately after use to prevent the tip from drying out. Store the pens horizontally or with the tip pointing slightly downward if the ink flow becomes inconsistent.
Compatibility: These pens work best on high-quality, non-porous surfaces like Bristol board, cold-press watercolor paper, or smooth marker paper. Avoid using them on newsprint or highly textured papers that may fray the tip.
Care Instructions: Clean the tips by gently wiping them on a clean piece of paper if they become clogged with paper fiber. Never press too hard on the brush tip, as excessive force can cause the bristles to splay and lose their original shape.
