Opaque White Pens for Black Paper – Set of 20 for Drawing and Lettering
This set of 20 opaque white pens is designed for writing, drawing, and contrast work on black papers, dark surfaces, or tinted media.
The white ink makes lines, annotations, graphic highlights, and fine details stand out with better legibility on dark backgrounds.
The fine 0.8 mm tip is suitable for black notebooks, lettering, titles, sketches, bright corrections, and compositions combining drawing, writing, and tinted paper.
INFORMATION
These pens are useful when graphite, black ink, or classic markers become invisible on a dark surface. The opaque white creates an immediate contrast on black paper, dark kraft paper, tinted cardboard, or colored pages.
They are suitable for highlights, stars, fine lines, borders, annotations, maps, titles, creative notebooks, lettering, and graphic details.
The rendering may vary depending on the paper's absorption, texture, and color. On some very smooth or very absorbent surfaces, it is advisable to test the line before working directly on the final composition.

USE & CARE
Use on a clean, dry surface. Draw without excessive pressure to maintain a consistent line and avoid damaging the tip.
To achieve a more visible white, let the first pass dry before adding a second light coat if the paper allows.
Close the pens after use to limit tip drying. Store away from direct heat and test the ink flow on a scrap piece of paper before working on an important page.
