Artline 200 Marker 0.4mm Fineliner Felt Tip Pen ASSORTED COLOURS 120041 - 12 Pack

The Artline 200 Fineliner is a 0.4mm felt tip pen — a fine fibre-tipped writing and drawing instrument with a consistent line width and smooth ink flow across standard paper surfaces. This 12-pack in assorted colours provides twelve distinct colours in the Artline 200 range, giving a complete working palette for colour-coded note-taking, multi-colour illustration, planning systems, classroom work and creative projects. The felt tip construction of the Artline 200 is what distinguishes it from ballpoint and rollerball pens: the fibre tip delivers even ink contact with the paper surface rather than relying on a rolling ball mechanism, producing a clean, matte line that does not vary in width with writing speed or pressure. Twelve colours in a single purchase covers colour-coding systems, artistic work and classroom applications that a smaller set cannot fully support. EzyShop also stocks the Artline 200 Fineliner in an 8-pack (SKU 1200748) and a 12-pack (SKU 1200741) for buyers comparing pack options.

FELT TIP — HOW IT DIFFERS FROM OTHER PEN TYPES

Understanding felt tip construction explains why the Artline 200 is preferred over other pen types for particular tasks:

• Felt tip / fibre tip mechanism — the ink is held in an absorbent reservoir inside the barrel and fed to the tip through a fibre core; the tip itself is a compressed fibre point that releases ink on contact with the paper surface; the ink flow is gravity and capillary-driven rather than pressure-driven, producing a consistent ink release regardless of how the pen is held
• Compared to ballpoint — a ballpoint pen uses a ball bearing in a socket to roll ink onto the page; the line varies in width with angle and pressure, and the ink has a slightly waxy quality that some writers find less smooth; the felt tip produces a cleaner, flatter, matte line that does not show the slight pressure variation of ballpoint strokes
• Compared to rollerball — a rollerball uses a ball mechanism with liquid ink for a smoother, darker line than ballpoint; the Artline 200 at 0.4mm produces a finer line than most rollerballs, which typically start at 0.5mm, and maintains consistent width without the ball-related variation at low writing speeds
• Compared to gel pen — gel pens produce a smooth, often slightly glossy line; at 0.4mm the Artline 200 produces a similar line weight to a fine gel pen but with a matte finish and the tip consistency advantages of a fibre point; gel pens can skip at the start of a stroke; the Artline 200 begins writing immediately on contact with paper

THE 0.4MM LINE — PRECISION AND SCALE

At 0.4mm, the Artline 200 is classified as a fineliner — a pen whose primary purpose is fine, controlled line work rather than the broad, bold strokes of a standard marker:

• Annotation and marginal notes — the fine line fits within the margin of a printed page, a textbook or a planner box without encroaching on adjacent text; annotation in 0.4mm remains separate and readable alongside the original printed material
• Diagram and map labelling — science diagrams, geography maps, technical drawings and organisational charts all require legible labels in small spaces; 0.4mm produces text that is readable at normal reading distance in the confined spaces that diagrams and maps present
• Cross-hatching and shading — artists using hatching techniques to create tonal variation in line drawings use fine tip pens to produce closely spaced parallel lines without the lines merging into a solid fill; at 0.4mm the lines remain distinct even when placed close together
• Ruled writing — the Artline 200 writes cleanly within standard ruled notebook lines, graph paper grids, planner layout boxes and diary entries without the line thickness that makes a broader pen feel cramped in small writing spaces

TWELVE COLOURS — THE WORKING PALETTE

A 12-colour assorted set is the standard colour range for buyers whose work requires genuine colour variety rather than the limited range of a smaller set:

• Full primary and secondary colour coverage — a 12-colour set typically covers the full set of primary and secondary colours plus key neutrals and accent colours; the full primary and secondary range is the minimum required for colour mixing in art and for true colour differentiation in a colour-coding system
• Colour coding across 12 categories — students, planners and administrators who colour-code by subject, project, day or priority benefit from having enough distinct colours to avoid doubling up; 12 colours is the practical maximum for a colour-coding system before colours become difficult to distinguish; a 12-colour set provides exactly this range
• Art and illustration — the full colour range in a 12-pack gives illustrators, card makers and craft artists the ability to work in colour without pre-selecting a limited palette; having all 12 available allows colour choices to be made spontaneously during the work rather than being constrained by a smaller set
• Teaching and classroom demonstration — teachers using coloured pens on whiteboards, paper or printed worksheets to highlight different concepts, show process steps or mark different categories of information benefit from the full 12-colour range; colour distinction in teaching materials is a well-established aid to comprehension and recall

APPLICATIONS

• School students — colour coding subjects, creating revision notes and flashcards, labelling science and geography work, decorating planners and diaries; the 12-pack covers a full subject set for most secondary and TAFE students in a single purchase
• University students — note-taking systems, literature review annotation, essay planning colour maps, thesis outline drafts; students who annotate printed research in multiple colours use the full range of a 12-pack across a semester's reading
• Office and professional use — project colour coding on physical documents and plans, annotating printed reports and contracts, labelling physical files and folders; the 12-colour range covers most professional colour-coding systems
• Bullet journalling and planning — creating weekly and monthly spreads, habit trackers, mood trackers, future planning logs and decorative layouts in a bullet journal; the Artline 200 felt tip is one of the most-used pens in the bullet journal community for its consistent fine line and colour range
• Teachers and educators — marking student work in multiple colours, creating annotated feedback, preparing coloured teaching materials, leading class activities that involve student colour work
• Art and craft — hand lettering, botanical illustration, zentangle, card making, scrapbooking, fine-line colouring in printed or hand-drawn outlines; the 12-colour set gives immediate access to a full working colour range
• Architects and designers — annotating drawings, sketching concept details, colour-coding materials, systems or structural elements on plans
