Common Questions About Fineliner Pens
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for in fineliner pens?
There a number of features you can look out for in fineliner pens. If you are an artist, then you should pay attention to the tip measurement and also the range of colours available. If you are looking to use fineliner pens for extensive written work - perhaps at school or college - your focus is more likely to be on the comfort of the grip. And if you are looking to order a large amount for your office then you might want to factor in the price per pen!
What line width do fineliner pens have?
Fineliner pens should typically have tips measuring 0.3mm to 0.5mm, enabling them to produce a suitably fine and even line. Some of the basic Berol fineliner pens have a 0.6mm nib, which is about as far as a fineliner pen can go before it is no longer deemed fine!
How quickly do fineliner pens dry out?
Leaving the cap off a fineliner pen is an easy mistake to make. Thankfully, most fineliner pens on the market today are designed to not immediately dry out. Some can be left uncapped for a couple of days (such as the Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Pen), whilst some are able to cope without a lid for as long as two weeks.
Are fineliner pens expensive?
Whilst fineliner pens cannot compete with ballpoint pens when it comes to price, they are still fairly inexpensive to buy. Fineliner pens tend to be purchased online in packs of four or more, reducing the price per pen, and prices vary depending on how sophisticated the fineliner pen is.
Are fineliner pens suitable for technical drawing?
Fineliner pens can be used for basic technical drawing, although for detailed professional work it may be better to choose a pen specifically designed for this purpose - expensive technical pens are available with line widths as fine as 0.13mm. Fineliner pens are a more versatile, general use option designed more for neat and tidy writing, sketching, drawing and colouring.
