Copic Prismacolor Faber Castell Staedtler Pigment liner sets

Collection of pigment liners. So long as they are stored in cool dry places, the pens retain their qualities. The Faber Castell Sanguine and Sepia 4-pens sets are over 5-years old, and all 8 still work fine. The Copic SP pens have the advantage that they can be refilled and that there are replacement nibs available in case they wear down or get damaged accidentally. While many of these sets might have rather high suggested retail prices, many of them can be often found online heavily discounted after some Googling and careful shopping. As a general rule I reserve the finer sets for studio work, and take the inexpensive sets for field sketching. It's best to avoid leaving any pen set inside a car in hot weather, for the extreme heat could cause them to leak or dry them out. Blog entry
