Felt pen set Staedtler 3280, fibre tip, 6 assorted colours

Staedtler 3280 felt pen set contains six double-ended fibre-tip pens in assorted colours, packaged in a cardboard box. Each pen has two different ink colours and offers a fine tip for detailed lines and a broad tip for bolder strokes, making the set suitable for a range of everyday drawing and colouring tasks.

Advantages

Each double-ended fibre-tip pen provides two colours in one instrument, saving space and increasing versatility. The tips are stable and pressure-resistant for consistent line quality, while the polypropylene barrel ensures durability. Caps are ventilated to meet safety standards, and the inks wash out of most textiles for easy cleanup.

Suitable for

• Everyday drawing and colouring
• Schoolwork and homework projects
• Sketching, lettering and hand lettering practice
• Colouring books and craft projects

When it may not be suitable

This set is designed for general drawing and colouring; it may not be suitable for professional illustration or archival work where pigment-based, lightfast or waterproof inks are required. The washability of the ink means it may not be ideal for applications needing permanent marks on textiles.

Key specifications

• Tip types: fine tip approx. 1.0 mm; broad tip approx. 3.0 mm
• Tip material: fibre
• Barrel material: polypropylene (PP)

How to use

Select the required pen and choose the tip that matches your task: use the fine 1.0 mm tip for detailed lines and the broad 3.0 mm tip for filling larger areas or creating bolder strokes. Replace the ventilated cap after use to prevent the tips from drying out. Store the pens horizontally or upright with caps closed to extend their service life.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use — washable dye-based ink is suitable for general arts and crafts but not for permanent marking
• Need for professional permanence or lightfastness — choose pigment or archival pens if required
• Preference for tip sizes — set includes approx. 1.0 mm fine and 3.0 mm broad tips
• Number of colours — set contains six double-ended pens (twelve colours total)

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the pens on a scrap of your paper or textile to check ink behaviour and colour appearance. Cap pens securely after each use and store them away from direct heat to maintain tip performance and ink quality.
