Full details

The Ranger Letter It Pens - Fine & Broad Nib Set is designed for crafters and artists looking to add unique embossed effects to their paper projects. Its key benefit is the specially formulated wet ink that allows ample working time for creating custom sentiments and designs before adding embossing powders. A potential caveat is the requirement of a separate heat tool to activate the embossing effect.

FAQs

What type of ink is used in these pens?

The pens contain a specially formulated ink designed to stay wet on paper long enough to work with embossing and pearl powders.

Do I need a special tool to use these pens?

While the pens themselves require no special tool, you will need a heat tool (like the Ranger Heat It Craft Tool) to activate the embossing effect with powders.

Can I use these pens for everyday writing?

While possible, these pens are optimized for embossing techniques. For standard writing, you might prefer pens with faster-drying ink.

What surfaces can I use these pens on?

These pens are best used on smooth paper surfaces suitable for embossing.

How long does the ink take to dry without embossing powder?

The ink is designed to stay wet for an extended period to accommodate powder application, so it will take significantly longer to dry than standard writing inks.

Can I use any brand of embossing powder with these pens?

While designed for Ranger Embossing Powders and Perfect Pearl Powders, they generally work with most standard embossing powders.

How should I store these pens?

Store the pens horizontally or cap-end down to maintain optimal ink flow.

Troubleshooting

Pen not dispensing ink

Ensure the cap has been removed and try gently scribbling on scrap paper. If still no ink, check if the pen has been stored correctly (horizontally or cap-end down) and if the ink is dried out.

Ink drying too quickly for embossing

Ensure you are working in a small area and applying powder immediately after writing. Minimize air movement around your workspace, as drafts can accelerate drying.

Uneven embossing effect

This can be due to inconsistent ink application or uneven powder coverage. Ensure a smooth, consistent line with the pen and thoroughly cover the wet ink with embossing powder before heating.

Ink smudging before powder application

Handle the paper carefully after writing. Avoid touching the inked areas. Work in sections if creating a large design. Ensure the paper surface is smooth and free of moisture.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. Simply uncap the pens and begin drawing or writing. Ensure the caps are securely replaced after each use to prevent ink drying out.

Compatibility: These pens are specifically designed to work with embossing powders and pearl powders. They are compatible with Ranger Heat It Craft Tools and other standard embossing heat tools. The ink is formulated for paper crafts.

Care: Store pens horizontally or cap-end down to ensure consistent ink flow. Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Clean any stray ink marks on surfaces immediately with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents for cleaning.
