Pentel

Pentel

Pentel was founded in Japan in 1946 and invented the felt-tip pen as we know it. Two products carry the brand for artists: the Sign Pen, which laid the line for a generation of illustrators, and the Pocket Brush Pen, a refillable brush with a real hair-like nib and dense waterproof black ink that stays put under a watercolour wash.

What we stock

Our Pentel range covers brush pens and sign pens, Aquash waterbrushes and GraphGear drafting pencils.

The Aquash waterbrush is the quietest useful thing here: a barrel you fill with water, so you can paint a wash on a train without a jar. Stationerie, Kolkata, 25 years in art materials, shipped across India.
