Artline 200 Fineliner Pen Marker, Fine 0.4mm 1200741 Assorted Colours - 12 Pack

Artline 200 Fineliner Pen Marker, Fine 0.4mm 1200741 Assorted Colours - 12 Pack

The Artline 200 Fineliner 12 Pack provides twelve 0.4mm fine line pens in an assorted colour range — the most comprehensive single-purchase colour set in the Artline 200 range. Twelve colours gives the full working palette for colour-coded note systems, multi-colour illustration, bullet journalling spreads, mind mapping, classroom use and creative projects where the variety of eight colours is limiting. Each pen in the set delivers the same consistent 0.4mm fine fibre tip that has made the Artline 200 the benchmark fineliner in Australian offices, schools and studios — a clean, stable line across standard paper and notebook surfaces with durable tip performance through extended use. EzyShop also stocks the Artline 200 Fineliner in an 8-pack assorted set (SKU 1200748) for buyers who need a smaller colour selection.

TWELVE COLOURS — WHY THE LARGER SET

The difference between 8 and 12 colours is not just quantity — it is the range of what becomes possible with the wider palette:

• Colour-coding systems with more categories — professionals and students who colour-code their notes, files or tasks by subject, project, priority or category need enough distinct colours to cover their full system without overlap; 8 colours supports 8 distinct categories; 12 colours supports 12, which covers the full subject load of a senior secondary student, the number of project streams in a typical business, or the months of a year for annual planning systems
• More complex visual distinction — when using multiple colours in a single document, diagram or map, additional colours allow finer visual distinctions; mind maps with 12 branches, organisational charts with 12 departments, and timetables with 12 subjects or time slots all benefit from a distinct colour per element; sharing colours between elements reduces the clarity the system is meant to provide
• Fuller illustration palette — artists and illustrators working with fineliner pens use colour range the way a painter uses a palette; 12 colours provides warm and cool variants across the primary and secondary colours, giving the ability to blend colour families and create more nuanced multi-colour work than a smaller set allows
• Classroom set size — a set of 12 is easily divisible for classroom sharing; 12 students one colour each, 4 groups of 3 colours each, 3 groups of 4 colours each; the 12-pack suits classroom distribution in a way that an 8-pack does not match as neatly to standard class group sizes

THE 0.4MM TIP — FINE LINE PERFORMANCE

The 0.4mm fibre tip is the constant across the full Artline 200 range, regardless of pack size:

• Finer than a standard ballpoint — producing a 0.4mm line against the 0.7mm–1.0mm of a typical ballpoint; the fine line allows dense annotation, smaller handwriting, and detailed drawing within the same page space
• Consistent line width — the fibre tip maintains its 0.4mm width regardless of writing angle or pressure; no broadening with pressure, no narrowing at low angles; the line produced is the same whether taking quick notes at speed or drawing slowly for illustration
• Suitable for ruled writing lines — fits comfortably within standard lined notebook spacing, graph paper grids, planner boxes and margin annotations without the line crowding that a broader tip introduces
• Durable tip — the fibre tip is manufactured to maintain its shape through sustained daily use; a tip that holds its width produces consistent results throughout the pen's life, not just at the start of a new pen

APPLICATIONS — WHAT 12 COLOURS ENABLES

• Bullet journalling — bullet journal layouts use colour to distinguish tasks, events, habits, priorities and decorative elements across weekly and monthly spreads; 12 colours provides enough range to assign a distinct colour to every category in an active journal system without reusing colours across categories; headers, tracker grids, doodles and writing can all be colour-differentiated without exhausting the palette
• Mind mapping — colour is the primary organisational tool in a mind map; with 12 colours, each main branch and its sub-branches can be rendered in a colour family without overlapping with other branches; the result is a map that is navigated by colour rather than read line by line
• University and TAFE study — students with 10–12 subjects in a semester can assign a distinct colour to each subject for notes, tabs, flashcards and revision materials; the 12-pack covers the full subject load in one purchase
• Secondary school — students taking 5–8 subjects find the 12-pack more than adequate for a complete colour system, with additional colours available for cross-subject use, highlighting priorities within subjects, and marking assignments or exam practice papers
• Watercolour and mixed media art — the Artline 200's water-based ink responds to water; applying a wet brush or a water pen over dried Artline 200 ink creates a watercolour-like wash effect from the original fine line; 12 colours provides a starting palette for this technique without requiring additional materials
• Technical drawing and annotation — architectural students, designers and draughtspeople use colour to distinguish layers, systems, materials and elements in technical drawings; 12 colours is standard for a working annotation palette in these disciplines
• Planner and diary decoration — decorated planners and diaries use fine line pens for lettering, borders, small illustrations and colour fills within pre-printed or hand-drawn layouts; 12 colours supports full-colour planner decoration across monthly, weekly and daily formats

WHO USES THE 12-PACK

• Students at all levels — the 12-pack is the standard gift and back-to-school purchase for a student setting up a colour-coding system for the first time, or replenishing a set depleted during the school year
• Teachers and classroom coordinators — purchasing a working set for shared classroom use, marking, annotating student work in multiple colours, and creating visual teaching materials
• Office workers who colour-code complex filing and task systems — project managers, executive assistants, administrators and analysts who maintain multi-category colour systems for physical or paper-based work
• Bullet journal and planner communities — the Artline 200 fineliner is one of the most-recommended pens in the bullet journal community; the 12-pack is the preferred entry-point for a new bullet journalist setting up their first full-colour system
• Artists and illustrators — fine-line illustration, sketching, zentangle, character design and decorative art where a wide colour range and consistent fine line are both required
• Art and craft teachers — running classes in fine-line drawing, illustration, hand lettering or mixed-media craft where students need a consistent tool across the full colour range
• Gift buyers — a 12-pack of quality fineliner pens is a practical, well-received gift for students, artists, planners and craft enthusiasts; the Artline 200 brand is widely recognised as a quality product

ARTLINE 200 — CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE

Artline (Shachihata Inc., Japan) has supplied the Artline 200 Fineliner to the Australian market for decades. The 200's reputation rests on consistent performance characteristics that hold across the full colour range:

• Ink consistency across all 12 colours — the same smooth, even ink flow in every colour; no colour in the set writes differently from another
• Cap-off resilience — the tip does not dry out immediately if the cap is briefly left off during use; the normal workflow of removing the cap, writing, setting the pen down and re-capping does not damage the tip
• Water-based ink — dries quickly on standard paper; less bleed-through on quality notebook and copy paper than spirit-based ink; the water base also enables the watercolour wash technique described above
