STAEDTLER Pigment Brush Pen 371 — Box of 24 Colours with Multi Ink
24 coloursMulti Ink pigment inkLightfast & waterproofBrush nib
The STAEDTLER pigment brush pen 371 C24 is a cardboard box of 24 brush pens filled with Multi Ink — a water-based, translucent India ink made with high-quality pigments — for hand lettering, illustration, sketchbooks, journaling and design work that needs colour that stays put and does not fade.
Each pen has a stable brush nib of medium strength, so a light touch gives a thin hairline and more pressure gives a broad stroke. Because the ink is pigment-based, the colours are extremely lightfast, permanent and waterproof once dry, and you can paint, ink or marker over them without smudging.

What It Means in Practice
- Lettering and calligraphy: the medium-firm brush nib lets you vary line width in one stroke — ideal for brush lettering and headings.
- Mixed media: once dry, the ink will not reactivate under watercolour, markers or further layers, and does not bleed or show through the paper, according to STAEDTLER.
- Archive-friendly work: lightfastness is rated per colour to DIN EN ISO 105-B01, so artwork and journals keep their colour longer than with dye-based felt pens.
- Blending: the colour-neutral blender 893 (sold separately) dissolves the ink for soft gradients while it is still fresh.
What Will Not Work
- Not a watercolour brush pen — once dry the ink is permanent and cannot be re-wetted and blended with water.
- Not refillable, and the box does not include a blender pen.
- Not for textiles or for marking windows and whiteboards — use a dedicated textile or board marker.
- Not a fineliner: for precise thin lines use STAEDTLER pigment liners alongside.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I blend the colours with water?
Only while fresh, and STAEDTLER recommends its colour-neutral blender 893 for that; once dry the ink is permanent and waterproof.
Will it bleed through my sketchbook?
STAEDTLER states the Multi Ink does not bleed or show through the paper; very thin papers can still vary, so test on a corner first.
Are single replacement colours available?
The 371 is sold in individual colours as well as sets; tell us the colour number and we will source it.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The 371 is the pigment alternative to ordinary felt brush pens: it costs a little more, but the colours do not fade on a wall or in a journal and you can layer over them without smearing. For lettering, illustration and mixed-media work it is the safer choice. Pair it with fineliners and paper from our
office stationery range.
✓ Buy it if you want lightfast, waterproof brush pens for lettering, illustration or mixed media.
✕ Skip it if you want watercolour-style blending with water after the ink dries, or cheap pens for children's colouring.
→ Also consider the STAEDTLER blender 893 for gradients, and pigment liners for fine outlines.
