Featuring Staedtler's new 'Multi Ink' and made from 97% recycled materials, the Pigments Arts range offers a sustainable high quality marker pen that is highly lightfast, quick drying, waterproof pen that doesn't bleed and can be used on almost any surface. That's a lot for one little marker but the magic lies in the new multi ink used in the pens. So what is it? Well it's made from premium pigments and has been designed to be extremely lightfast, which means the colour stays and your artwork will retain the vibrancy it had when it was made for years. As well as that, the ink is quick drying and does not bleed through all while being water-resistant. It means that when painting over it, you won't get any of the smearing you might get with other marker pens. That's not all though, they're a creative tool and are designed to be colour mixed. They're suitable for tip-to-tip blending where you touch the tips of two markers together to blend into a new colour. You can also create great gradients by writing over the ink while it is still wet. If the shade is a little too light for you, the ink is designed to respond well to layering, and you can really get some vibrant shades you wouldn't have thought you could achieve with the markers simply by going over it again with the same colour. They're obviously great for artists and can be used on almost any medium but the versatility to write on almost any surface and their extreme lightfastness also makes them a great all round tool for more practical purposes. Marking outlines, plant labels, you name it.
