The Royal & Langnickel Primary Brush Nib Free Ink Set contains 12 markers across a primary colour palette, all with the same brush nib and free-flowing ink formula as the two-marker sets. If the Black & White and Gold & Silver sets cover the monochrome and metallic territory, this one covers everything else — a working palette of primary and secondary colours for illustration, lettering, craft projects, and multi-surface work.
The brush nib gives variable line weight with pressure and angle, producing anything from a precise hairline to a broad expressive stroke in a single marker. The free ink reservoir flows to the nib rather than relying on a compressed felt core, which gives more consistent colour delivery and a longer-lasting marker under regular use. The multi-surface formula works on canvas, glass, fabric, wood, paper, and most other surfaces, which makes this a more versatile set than a standard paper-only marker range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What colours are in the set?
The set covers a primary colour palette across 12 markers. The exact shades vary but typically include reds, yellows, blues, greens, orange, purple, and further secondary or tertiary colours to give a complete working range. The palette is designed to cover most everyday colour needs for illustration, lettering, and craft work.
How does this differ from the 2-marker sets?
The 2-marker Black & White and Gold & Silver sets are focused on specific applications — monochrome work and metallic decoration respectively. The 12-marker Primary set is the colour working range, with enough variety to illustrate, letter, and create across a broad range of subjects without constantly reaching for a different marker.
What surfaces can I use these on?
Canvas, glass, fabric, wood, paper, card, plastic, and most other surfaces. The free ink formula is formulated for multi-surface use. On porous surfaces the ink absorbs into the material; on non-porous surfaces like glass it sits on top and may require a longer drying time.
What is a free ink brush marker?
A free ink marker uses a liquid ink reservoir that flows to the nib, rather than a compressed felt or foam core. The result is more consistent flow and better colour saturation throughout the life of the marker. Combined with a brush nib, it produces marks that vary with pressure and angle — a hairline at light touch, a broad expressive stroke with more pressure.
Are these suitable for children?
The markers are non-toxic and suitable for use by adults and older children under supervision. The brush nib requires a slightly more controlled hand than a standard chisel or bullet tip, so they are better suited to older children and adults.
