Talens | Pantone markers

Yes! Because the markers are quick drying and waterproof, they are perfect for layering. Layering works especially well on the Talens | Pantone marker paper. The combination of this paper and the formula of the markers allows you to layer repeatedly without damaging the paper.

Using the ultra-fluid Talens | Pantone marker ink you can easily refill your favorite colors. Watch our video or follow the following steps:

1. Take off both caps.
2. Take a paper towel or other type of towel, and gently take the chisel nib out of the marker. It helps to twist it while you pull it out. This will not damage the nib.
3. Put the nib aside and use the dropper in the cap of the ink bottle to carefully fill the marker. Depending on how much ink is left in the marker, you can add 3 to 5 full pipettes of marker ink.
4. Put the chisel nib back into the marker. It does not matter which way you put it in.
5. Put the caps back on.
6. Shake gently and you're done!

Store your markers horizontally to guarantee optimal ink flow to both nibs. This also helps maintain an even pigment distribution. You can store your marker sets in the boxes they come in. These sturdy boxes feature a sleek, horizontal design, ensuring your markers are always ready to use! Thanks to the color names and numbers on the caps, you can easily pick the right color for your work.

If you compare the Talens | Pantone marker to the Ecoline brush pen, the nibs are just as juicy and flexible. However, the ink works quite differently. For example, the ink of the Talens | Pantone marker is pigmented and therefore lightfast, fast-drying and is waterproof. Once dry, it cannot be reactivated like the Ecoline Brush Pen.

The Talens | Pantone marker was developed in collaboration with Pantone and conforms to the Graphic PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM(TM). This means that 1 stroke with the chisel nib on Talens | Pantone paper corresponds to the official Pantone colour.

Usually, when you overlay multiple layers with a marker, the paper starts pilling or tearing. That is not the case with these markers, so we call them tear-free. Layering like this works up to about 7 layers with the chisel nib. Beware that the more ink you use, the faster any pills may appear.

Not necessarily, it is best to place the marker with the brush side down for 10 minutes after filling to make sure the ink is well distributed. After that, it is helpful to check whether both nibs give off the same color, then you will know if the ink is well distributed.

For the best color results, your Talens | Pantone markers should be used on Talens | Pantone marker paper. This special marker paper was specially developed to offer an optimal simulation of the Pantone Matching System™ and forms the best base for your markers.
