They are transparent in color - contain pigment based, acid-free - non-toxic archival ink - have a no-clog tip - write over 360 yards (that's twice the length of other writing pens!)
• Black 0.3 Multiliners. These have a pigment based ink that is waterproof and won’t bleed or smear when used with your COPIC Markers. Great for faux stitching- doodling - fixing stamping lines that were missed - signing cards and more. A must have item!
