Question 1

Does this order come with ink?

Accepted Answer

No need- you fill with water or your favorite liquid watercolors or inks.

Question 2

Should I use distilled water when using with watercolor pencils? I live where there is hard water.

Accepted Answer

Yes, I use distilled water with all of my water based media like watercolor,India ink, and acrylic paint as well as my watercolor pencils and inktense pencils. It's always a smart idea to keep hard water and mineral deposits out of your brushes and paints. I do wash my brushes in tap water with brush soap when I'm washing paint from them after finishing painting,but I do a final rinse in distilled water, even for that.

Question 3

Does the water stay clear when using or is the paint back washed into the reservoir?

Accepted Answer

The inks left in the cartridges is diluted with clear water until the hue required is obtained. It helps to pierce the cartridges to obtain the inks. You can mix the colours and keep in small bottles .Keep a test paper of each colour and stick to the bottle for reference when dry. Shake the bottle before transfering the colours to the pen reservoir with a syringe . The paint flow remains constant in use but keep a rag or tissue at hand to avoid drips. I have managed to paint on surfaces ( paper ) 2metres by 2.5meters . I paint flat so spread is even ,have 25 brushes , and find them smooth to use . Colour resistance is about the same as printed paper . Happy painting !

Question 4

Are the brushed round or chisel tip? Or is it a mix?

Accepted Answer

they are round with a point, in 3 sizes. I love mine with Inktense. The plastic bristles clean easily. I never thought I'd like something plastic, but it works when blending the ink.
