The Edding 1340 Brushpen is designed for artists and crafters seeking vibrant, blendable colors for detailed work. Its key benefit is the flexible brush tip combined with water-soluble ink, allowing for watercolor effects and easy blending while wet. A potential caveat is that the water-soluble nature means finished work is not waterproof unless treated.

No, the ink is water-soluble and not permanent or waterproof. It can be blended and manipulated with water while wet, but finished work may require a fixative spray to protect it from smudging or water damage.
Apply the ink to your paper as usual. Then, while the ink is still wet, use a clean, damp brush to gently blend, dilute, or spread the color. You can also wet the paper slightly before applying the ink for a softer effect.
Yes, you can layer colors while the ink is wet. Applying one color over another that is still wet will allow them to blend on the paper's surface. For more controlled mixing, you can also lay down both colors on a palette or non-porous surface and mix them with a wet brush before applying to the paper.
To ensure optimal ink flow, store the Edding 1340 Brushpen horizontally or with the tip facing downwards. Always ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent the nib from drying out.
The Edding 1340 Brushpens are designed to work best on light-colored paper. While some colors might show on dark paper, they are generally not opaque enough to provide good coverage or vibrancy on dark surfaces.
The Edding 1340 range is available in a wide variety of vivid colors, often sold individually or in packs.
Ensure the cap was replaced properly after the last use. Store the pen tip-down or horizontally. Gently scribble on scrap paper or moisten the tip slightly with water if dried ink is suspected.
This can occur when too much water is used for blending. Ensure you are using appropriate amounts of water and working quickly while the ink is wet. Check if the paper is too absorbent, causing the ink to spread and lighten.
Excessive pressure or rough handling can damage the brush tip. Unfortunately, a damaged tip cannot be repaired. For future use, apply lighter pressure and avoid scraping the tip on hard surfaces.
The paper may be too thin. Try using a thicker paper stock, such as marker paper, Bristol board, or watercolor paper. Ensure you are not oversaturating the paper with ink or water.
Setup: The Edding 1340 Brushpen is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply remove the cap and begin drawing or coloring. For optimal performance, ensure the cap is replaced firmly after each use to prevent the nib from drying out.
Compatibility: This brushpen is designed for use on most paper types. For best results and to minimize bleed-through, it is recommended to use slightly heavier paper stocks (e.g., watercolor paper, cardstock, or specialized marker paper). It is compatible with water for blending and can be used in conjunction with rubber stamps.
Care: To maintain the pen's performance:
