Fineliner pen PENTEL PointLiner Colour S40 0.4 mm black for drawing and writing

PENTEL PointLiner Colour S40 0.4 mm in black is a fineliner designed for precise drawing, sketching and writing. The 0.4 mm metal-clad tip produces consistent, fine lines that suit technical drawings, detailed illustrations and clear note-taking. The black pigment ink is water-resistant and fast-drying, offering sharp, permanent-looking strokes on paper and sketching pads. The pen’s balanced barrel and clip make it easy to carry and position for extended use.

Advantages

The S40 fineliner delivers uniform ink flow and a steady 0.4 mm line width for accurate line work. Its pigment-based black ink resists water and fading after drying, which helps preserve drawings and handwritten notes. The metal-clad tip improves durability and control when working on fine details, while the lightweight barrel and secure cap reduce the risk of drying out during storage.

Suitable for

• Technical and architectural drawings that require fine, consistent lines
• Illustration and ink sketching for artists and designers
• Handwritten notes, journaling and study materials
• Outlining and inking over pencil sketches
• Office documentation that needs clear, water-resistant ink

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.4 mm metal-clad fineliner tip for precise lines
• Ink type: black pigment ink, water-resistant when dry
• Line quality: consistent, fine stroke suitable for detail work
• Drying: fast-drying formulation to reduce smudging

How to use

Use the PENTEL PointLiner Colour S40 by removing the cap and holding the pen at a comfortable angle to the paper for steady control. For the best results on paper, begin with light pencil guides if needed, then trace or draw with the fineliner. Allow ink to dry fully before erasing underlying pencil marks or applying washes; the water-resistant ink reduces bleeding but may interact with heavy wet media. Replace the cap after use to maintain tip condition and prevent drying.

Usage recommendations

Choose smoother, heavier-weight papers or sketchbooks to maximize line crispness and minimize feathering. For archival projects, combine the water-resistant black ink with lightfast pigment media and store finished work away from direct sunlight to further preserve contrast and detail.
