Faber-Castell Pitt Black Pens - Set of 6

This set includes 6 Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens with nib sizes from 0.05 to 1.5 mm. They use pigmented India ink that resists water and light. The Pitt Artist Pen is the world’s most popular pen for ink drawing, known for its consistent line width. The stated nib size matches the line width from the first to the last stroke without the tip widening over time.

6 calibrated nibs covering a full range of line widths:

• XXS (0.05 mm): The finest line available. Ideal for textures, very tight hatching, microscopic details, and building up greys by layering.
• XS (0.1 mm): Fine details, shading patterns, handwriting, and backgrounds.
• S (0.3 mm): Construction lines and common hatching.
• F (0.5 mm): Standard outline, suitable for many uses.
• M (0.7 mm): Bold lines, frames, and emphasising foregrounds.
• 1.5 mm: Thick lines and small solid black areas.

High-quality India ink:

• Odourless and solvent-free: safe to use in enclosed spaces like classrooms.
• Water-resistant once dry: you can paint over it with watercolours, use alcohol markers, or erase pencil lines without smudging or fading. This is ideal for travel journals and line-and-colour illustration.
• Lightfast: the black stays intense over time, even on framed originals. This distinguishes artist pens from office markers, whose black fades to brown within a few years.
