Fineliner pens PENTEL POINTLINER S40-6, color dye ink, set of 6, 0.4 mm tip

PENTEL POINTLINER S40-6 is a set of six colour fineliner pens with water-based dye ink and a 0.4 mm tip, designed for precise line work, technical drawing, sketching and neat note-taking. The set includes a range of colours that provide consistent ink flow and crisp, fine lines suitable for detailed illustrations and everyday writing tasks.

Advantages

The PENTEL POINTLINER pens feature a durable 0.4 mm metal-clad tip that allows for accurate, even strokes and fine detail. Water-based dye ink dries quickly on most papers, reduces smudging when used appropriately, and offers good colour saturation for clear visibility. The slim barrel and lightweight design support extended use with reduced hand fatigue and comfortable control during precise work.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and drafting
• Illustration, sketching and line art
• Note-taking, journaling and planners
• Colour-coding, diagrams and markup
• Students, designers and office use

When it may not be suitable

These fineliners use water-based dye ink which can show through or feather on very thin or highly absorbent papers; heavier, smooth papers are preferable for best results. The pens are not designed for waterproof archival work or for use on non-porous surfaces where pigment- or solvent-based inks would be required.

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.4 mm fine point
• Ink type: water-based dye ink
• Set contents: 6 coloured fineliner pens
• Line quality: consistent, precise fine lines suitable for detail work
• Barrel: slim, lightweight design for comfortable handling

How to use

Uncap the pen and hold at a comfortable angle to the paper for steady, controlled lines. Use light pressure to maintain the 0.4 mm line width; heavier pressure may widen the stroke or shorten tip life. Allow ink to dry briefly before stacking pages or adding water-based washes to avoid smudging. Recap after use to prevent drying of the tip.

What to consider before purchase

• Paper type: choose medium to heavy, smooth paper for best line clarity and minimal bleed-through
• Ink behaviour: water-based dye ink is not waterproof and may fade over prolonged exposure to sunlight
• Tip size: 0.4 mm is suited for fine detail but may be too thin for bold strokes

Usage recommendations

For precise illustrations and consistent colour accents, pair these 0.4 mm fineliners with smooth, 90–140 g/m² drawing or sketch paper. Store horizontally or with caps on to maintain tip performance and test on a small area when combining with other media.
