Ink care & compatibility
Quick guidance to keep colours bright and pens in good order across NZ climate conditions.
Rinse with lukewarm water after extended use. Avoid prolonged storage with metallic inks in nibs — flush weekly.
For best results use 90–120gsm papers for brush lettering; 120gsm+ for ink wash and heavy strokes to prevent bleed and feathering.
Selected W5 pigments are formulated for high lightfastness. Check each product page for ISO-rated longevity and pigment details.
