Once it's dry, which doesn't take long, you can layer colour on top without smudging the layer underneath, and the ink won't bleed or show through most papers. That makes it genuinely useful for mixed media work, where you're often building up washes, pencil and pen marks on the same page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLightfastness is rated against the blue wool and grey scales so colours stay true rather than fading or shifting after long exposure to light. If you're framing lettering pieces or keeping a sketchbook you'll want to look back on in years, that matters more than it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce fully cured, the ink is permanent and waterproof. If you want more flexibility while it's still workable, the Staedtler colour-neutral blender can be used to soften and blend the Multi Ink before it sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrush tip, pencil tip, your choice of line\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe brush nib is stable and easy to control, which is the main thing to look for in a brush pen. It holds its shape well enough for confident, repeatable strokes, and the flex in the tip lets you move from a fine upstroke to a broad downstroke in one movement, which is the whole point of brush lettering. The pigment pen included in the set gives you a consistent fine line for outlining or detail work, and the drawing pencil is there for laying out your composition before you commit to ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood on most surfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pens are built to work across the range of papers artists actually use, along with most other surfaces you'd want to mark. Whether you're working in a smooth-finish sketchbook, on watercolour paper, or on toned stock for lettering practice, the ink lays down evenly without feathering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA few practical details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePen housings are made from 97% recycled plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToxicologically tested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging materials are PEFC certified\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand lettering, modern calligraphy practice, sketching, illustration, journaling and colouring.
