The Royal & Langnickel Primary Brush Nib Free Ink Set in the 6-marker format — the same brush nib, free-flowing ink, and multi-surface formula as the 12-marker set, in a more compact configuration. Six primary colours covers the essential colour range without the full breadth of the larger set, making this the natural choice for someone who wants a capable working palette without the commitment of twelve markers to carry and maintain.
The brush nib responds to pressure and angle, producing lines that range from a precise hairline to a broad expressive stroke without changing markers. The free ink reservoir flows to the nib consistently throughout the life of the marker, maintaining colour saturation from first use to last. Multi-surface formula — canvas, glass, fabric, wood, paper, and more.
- Set of 6 brush nib free ink markers
- Primary colour palette — 6 assorted colours
- Brush nib — variable line width from fine to bold
- Free-flowing ink formula
- Multi-surface: canvas, glass, fabric, wood, paper and more
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this differ from the 12-marker set?
The Mark-2902 is a 6-marker version of the primary set; the Mark-2903 contains 12 markers. The 6-marker set covers the essential primary and secondary colours for most everyday colour needs; the 12-marker set extends the palette with additional shades and a wider tonal range. If you are building a kit from scratch and want maximum versatility, the 12-marker set is the better starting point. If you want a compact, portable set or are adding to an existing collection, the 6-marker set is the more practical choice.
What surfaces can I use these on?
Canvas, glass, fabric, wood, paper, card, plastic, and most other surfaces. 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.
Can I use these alongside the 2-marker Black & White and Gold & Silver sets?
Yes — all four sets in the Royal & Langnickel brush nib range use the same nib type and ink formula and work together naturally. The 2-marker sets add monochrome and metallic capability to the colour palette of the 6 or 12-marker sets.
