Calligraphy pen set Faber-Castell 267117 — pigment-based ink, 6 pieces, colours Black/Green/Red

Faber-Castell 267117 is a set of six calligraphy pens with pigment-based, fade-resistant ink supplied in black, green and red. The pens combine the expressive qualities of artist's ink with the convenience of a disposable pen, offering precise lines and consistent flow for calligraphy, lettering, sketching and decorative work. Shafts and caps are made from polypropylene to reduce drying and preserve ink quality over time.

Advantages

The pigmented, lightfast ink delivers strong, even colour that resists fading and is suitable for archival-stable applications. The disposable-pen format provides immediate usability without the need for separate ink bottles or dip pens, while polypropylene construction helps prevent premature drying. The set’s mix of black, green and red allows for contrast and emphasis in lettering, layouts and mixed-media illustrations.

• Calligraphy and hand lettering practice

How to use

Use these calligraphy pens on paper and other suitable drawing surfaces. Hold the pen at the desired angle to create thick and thin strokes characteristic of calligraphic styles; experiment with pressure and angle to vary line width. For consistent results, replace caps after use to reduce evaporation. Combine colours for layered lettering and decorative elements, and allow ink to dry fully before applying additional media on top.

Usage recommendations

For archival-stable results, use acid-free paper and allow sufficient drying time before framing or layering with water-based media. Store pens horizontally or with caps securely closed and avoid extreme temperatures to maintain ink performance.
