Hey people,

I tried using a normal ink pen to draw. I scanned the image into the computer and tried to color it. I used the magic wand in photostudio to catch the part I want to color but it couldn’t catch the part because there are still gaps in between the inks I guess it is not thick enough. Would appreciate any advice given by any experts. Thanks a lot.

How long can you leave ink in a Rapidograph pen before you need to clean it? November 30, 2009

Just curious how long you can leave ink in these pens before you risk having the ink start to gunk up inside the pen. If you keep the cap on the pen when not in use, how long can you leave it with the ink in it?

Thanks.Submited by:Rob

Some of the ink is still tacky and some is dry some is still really runny. I assume it is oil based, but I am not sure as the label on the can is in german.Submited by:Alex E
