Jennifer, Thank you for another honest non-biased review. I have been eyeing the FC Pitt pens for a while now, but do I really need yet another marker, NO. I recently went back to coloring in my books and needed a marker that would not streak or bleed through. I think this will be a great cheaper alternative for sure! How do these react on cheaper Amazon paper I wonder; can you do that test for us? I just love your reviews!
Just the information I needed as I have been looking at these for a while. Although I have some of the Pitt brush pens which I like a lot, I did not make the connection to the Staedtler. That makes me want them even more. One thing you didn’t mention, which in a way makes the Pitt a better buy, is they are not open stock. In the long run I think open stock saves money by being able to buy new pens as they run out, not a whole set. That being said there are some lovely colours in the Staedtler sets so I am not writing them off! Amazon UK has several sets of 12 eg cool colours, warm colours, pastels etc as well as the set you have but I’m not sure if some of them might be duplicated. So thank you for your helpful info and I’ll give it some more thought.
The 36 set of pigment art pens are $86 here on Amazon Australia very expensive but I still want thm 😁 thnx Jennifer for sharing luv ur videos always watching ❤
OMG! Jennifer, I've got to get these markers!!!! Woo Hoo! I'm just as excited as you are. Very nice. I'll be using them in my Kerby Rosanes' books. OMG, no bleeding!!! What a game changer for real! I love Staedtler for this! Thank you for the awesome review!
These look very interesting. I love the FC Pitt brush pens, & look forward to comparing the two products. One benefit to the FC Pitt pens is that the colors match all the other Fabre-Castell products. This is helpful if you are combining different mediums on a page.
Thank you for all your hard work putting together these types of videos , This is my fav channel it's always so informative and helpful and I have learned so much from you ! I wish you much more success oh and BTW I just love little Rose as your helper ❤😊 Hope you have a wonderful day
I literally just put these in my Amazon cart last week! I’m hoping the pricing doesn’t go up! 😂 I’m happy you’ve looked into these cause I was extremely curious. I saw something about this multi ink on someone’s video after that convention… but needed someone to elaborate. We can always count on Jennifer and Steve to do so!!!
“…let me count real quick…”( 3:53-3:56) I just love the way that you don’t take yourselves too seriously. Until now,I just dabbled at coloring, but even if I didn’t color at all I would still watch your videos! Catching your little asides is like the coloring version of “Where’s Waldo?” I also love how you are lending credibility to the art of coloring!🙏🖖🤭
Would these work on black paper? For any new product, what pen/marker properties show up on black paper? I absolutely love an option that does not bleed through 😊
I bought these and they're wonderful! The problem is a few of them were dry. When was absolutely unusable it was so dry. The other two were not far behind. I returned them. I bought pitt pens instead. Those did not do anywhere near as good in the coloring books. They went on streaky and were pilling the paper in the same coloring book I was using. It makes me realize how much I love the staedtler pens. They do sit on top and don't soak in to the paper. They don't streaky when you put them on either. It just looks so much better in the coloring books. Instead of buying them on Amazon I decided to buy them on Blicks hoping they'd be a little fresher even though I don't think they are that old. I saw other people with reviews on Amazon that have the same issue as me but I just love these pens!
I had the same problem with dry markers. In fact, 9 of the 36 were bone-dry. SO disappointed 😢 Any tips or suggestions on whether or not they can be revived?
@bethmccusker7130 I tried dipping the tips in water but it didn't help. I am hoping by buying them at an art store instead maybe they would be better. Maybe it was the way they were stored. I love them so I was willing to try one more time. I noticed the pitt pens on Amazon are like $92.00, on blick they are $160.00. It makes me wonder if the Amazon ones are fake. Maybe I'll call steadler's customer service and talk to them about it. I bought the Earth set earlier and I love how they perform. They seem different and not as streaky and the new pitt pens I bought on Amazon. Maybe it is my imagination though.
Just bought these ......wish I had more colors, they're great!!! This product is as good as the Pitt pens. I've been using brush pens alot with watercolor crayons and pencils.😊😊😊😊
Hi, Jennifer---Loved your review. I have and enjoy immensely my (albeit expensive) F-C Pitt Pens---but I am so impressed by the intensity of Staedtler's pigment in each pen. A writer, below, says that 60 colors will be available June 25th this year---that is great, as I do like to have as many colors as I can. (Greedy girl!) I also wish the pen itself had as firm a cap as the Pitt Pens--but if they are so much less expensive---they are well worth looking into. Thank you for a terrific reveiw! I can't resist a new product!❤Lynn in NYC
I love staedtler after not being able to reliably find good markers in my country and trying their pens. These ones sound really interesting for the water-proof aspect as I like to use mine with watercolors but they always bleed. Could you test out that aspect of the pens?
This is such a wonderful product. Staedtler is a good brand as well, I have a set of drawing pencils and are so smooth. I was looking for something like these pens to use daily. Thanks Jenn.
Hi Jennifer these look awesome! I just purchased the 36 assorted basic colors and the set of 12 pastel colors. Can’t wait to try them out! :) Thank you.
These look really exciting! I've had the PITT pens for awhile but rarely use them. Looks like both could work great together to have a wider range of colors. Where did you get the plastic sheet you're putting behind the page you're coloring on? I usually cut glassine to fit, but that looks like it might be even better!
That 's why I bought them. They work very well with my Pitt pens, and now I have a larger color range. I think I like the nib on the Staedtler pigment brush pens a bit better.
@@Msboochie2 Interestingly enough, I bought them but am probably returning them because I find the nibs too fragile compared to the Pitt pens. Just a tiny bit of pressure and they bend, which doesn't happen with the Pitt. My Pitt are old though so it's possible the nibs have changed since I got them!
Thank you, Jennifer, for showing us these pens. I am interested, but couldn't find any info on open-stock availability on the Staedtler website. I can get open stock Pitt pens here in Australia, and it looks like these pens deserve the same option.
I saw them Open Stock in an Art Store in Hamburg in Germany. Full Sets, Colored Assortments Sets and Open Stock. The Caligraphy Nib the permant and the Bruspen and the Soft Brush Option.
Thank you thank you thank you for this video! I've been a fan of staedtler for a long time and didn't know these existed! I wish they had even more colors because I have a bunch of Johanna Basford books as well that I wish I could use marker in all the time! I discovered your channel when I went looking for ways to improve my coloring talents without markers inside coloring books. Side note- I think these marker names/colors match up with their other color markers as well. At least they look like they match the triplus and double ended. Though the double ended aren't named. Thanks again! I love your channel and I'm so happy I found you!
Thank you for this comprehensive review and for being so fair about the comparison. I bought a 24 set of these when they were on a great offer on Amazon and they are brilliant!
24 are on sale for $32 on Amazon in Canada but the 36 is a huge jump to $78! I have them in my wish list for now but knowing me I will buy them tomorrow. I am curious if anyone has used the fineliners. I never see them in the shops around here. I wonder how they compare to Pitt or Sakura because the price is fantastic.
I am interested in these but I’d primarily be looking to use them for calligraphy so I might wait until someone reviews them with calligraphy in mind as they are pretty pricey the 60 sets up for pre order at £177.
Hello could you post a link to that swatch spiral book you have I would love to buy one I'm trying to get more organized I have swatches and combo sheets everywhere lol please and thanks !! For colored pencils
@@louisefurze1074 The pastel colours are already included in the 36 set so if you purchase the 36 set, you'd have all the colours they come in (currently :)).
These are very different than Pitt pens. One of the most fabulous things about Pitts is that they you can smudge them to get fantastic depth on top of your pencil work. And they do dry relatively quickly and become ‘fixed’ and waterproof. You can also blend them beautifully with other (Pitt) colours if you work quickly. And let’s not forget they come in the exact same colours as Polychromos and Albrecht Durer.
I ordered these brush pens from Amazon and only received 24 of the 36.☹️ Contacted Customer Service and told them the situation. They are checking into what happened. Returning incomplete set. Amazon is out of stock so I reordered the same exact pens from Blick. FYI
Thanks for telling us. I had just placed an order through Amazon Prime (no shipping costs) and managed to cancel that order and get the pens through Blicks for a saving of around $10 even with paying s/h because Blicks had a special on of $2.95 shipping.
When did these come out in the U.S.? I came across these online probably 3-4 months ago at least. It may have been on retail websites that ship to the U.S. from China and Japan, though, so if they released earlier in Asia that could explain it. I had no idea these were new when I came across them. Maybe they have been out for a while but the advertising campaign hadn't fully launched yet. I don't know, but now I'm curious haha
Thanks for the review! I've been wondering about these. They are now on my wish list ahead of Pitt pens, which are quite expensive. My only question is how waterproof are they? Can they be used alongside of wet media or would they lift.
I've been using them alongside Pitt Pens for colouring for awhile now and as long as you wait for them to dry, both these pens and the Pitt Pens are waterproof once dry. Hope that helps! :)
I purchased the 12 set (basic colors) from Amazon, after watching your video. I’m actually disappointed with them. I find the brush nibs to be too soft. They did not bounce back and remained bent over even after very light use. Maybe ok for some light coloring but I struggled to use them for hand lettering.
I own these, and they are nice. I use them in conjunction with the Pitt pens, as many of the colors compliment the Pitt line. Unfortunately, they aren’t open stock as far as I know, so I still rely mostly on my Pitt pens since I can get get them open stock easily.
Not the op but I just seen the 60 set of the Staedtler brush pens for £177 on Amazon so I would guess they were referring to that. I want them but £177 is quite a lot.
If this Joanna person who put out the coloring book is so great...then why would she put artwork on BOTH sides of the paper? Almost sounds like a ploy to make people buy more than one copy of the book! I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be snarky, but I am extremely suspicious of ANY person who calls themselves a professional and makes such a rookie mistake. I am honestly wondering here. The books are cute, but that one thing is enough to keep me from purchasing them. What if you wanted to frame the pictures? This is just a major deal breaker for me. As far as the Staedtler pens...they look great. Is the ink used the same as the Pitt pens? Is it fair to compare them? Again, I didn't see it addressed. It is nice to have more than one offering from different companies...it keeps everybody honest...lol right? Thanks for the video!! Also, just FYI the company name is pronounced "stet-ler" not "stat-ler". Please forgive me...it's the german in me....lol. Have a wonderful day.

Hello, Jennifer… There are 60 colours. They are in pre-sale on Amazon Germany. They come out on June 25, this year. 😃❤️
Yes! Wanted to say that! 🥰
I just bought the 36. This happens to me all the time.
@@heidigeldean2510 To me, too 😩
can we order from amazon germany!
I only see the maximum of 36 for these pens. There are also 60 but those are different fineliner pens

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I was wondering about the brush. It looks like its will easily fray too.
Even the faber versions of these brushes are just not quite firm enough. The best nib out of the pitts is absolutely the FUDE firm brushes .
I have these and like them.
Faber Castell is A German Company as well as Staedtler. It makes sense they both produce their quality products in Germany.
I own these, and they are nice. I use them in conjunction with the Pitt pens, as many of the colors compliment the Pitt line. Unfortunately, they aren’t open stock as far as I know, so I still rely mostly on my Pitt pens since I can get get them open stock easily.
If they made these in a FUDE HARD nib- i would throw money at them
Too expensive for coloring books 😮. Amazon Canada $59.00 😢.
