Product Information
Full details
The Uni-ball Pin Drawing Pens - 3 Pack is designed for artists, designers, and anyone needing precise, permanent lines. Its key benefit is the use of Uni Super Ink, ensuring your work is resistant to water, fading, and tampering. A potential consideration is that the pack contains specific fine-line nib sizes, which may not suit all drawing styles out of the box. This set provides three fine-liner pens with distinct tip sizes for detailed artwork and technical drawing.

FAQs
What are the tip sizes included in this 3-pack?
This pack includes pens with 0.1mm, 0.3mm, and 0.5mm fine line tips.
Is the Uni Super Ink truly waterproof?
Yes, Uni Super Ink is formulated to be waterproof once it has dried completely on the paper.
Can I use these pens for calligraphy?
While the fine tips are excellent for detailed drawing, they are not designed for calligraphy which typically requires flexible or brush nibs.
How long does the ink last?
The ink is fade-resistant and archival quality, meaning it is designed to last for a very long time without significant degradation when stored properly and not exposed to extreme conditions.
Can I use these pens over pencil lines?
Yes, you can draw over pencil lines. For best results, erase any excess graphite before inking to prevent smudging.
Are these pens refillable?
No, the Uni-ball Pin Drawing Pens are designed as disposable pens and are not refillable.
What is the best way to store these pens?
Store the pens horizontally or vertically with the cap facing downwards to ensure optimal ink flow.
Troubleshooting
Pen skipping or not drawing consistently
Ensure the cap was securely on and the pen was not left uncapped. Try gently blotting the tip on a scrap piece of paper to restart ink flow. Store pens with the cap down.
Ink bleeding or feathering
This is often due to the paper type. Try using a smoother, heavier weight drawing paper or a paper specifically designed for ink pens.
Ink smudging after drawing
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching or layering other media on top. Uni Super Ink is waterproof once dry, but requires adequate drying time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These pens require no setup. Simply remove the cap and begin drawing. Ensure the cap is replaced securely after each use to prevent the nib from drying out.
Compatibility: The Uni-ball Pin Drawing Pens work best on smooth, non-porous paper surfaces. For optimal results and to prevent ink bleed-through, use heavier weight paper or dedicated drawing paper. They are compatible with most markers and coloring mediums once the ink is fully dry.
Care: Store pens horizontally or with the cap facing down to ensure consistent ink flow. Avoid extreme temperatures. If the ink flow seems reduced, gently try to blot the nib on a scrap piece of paper. Do not attempt to refill the pens, as they are designed for single use.
