{"product_id":"edding-4200-porcelain-brush-pen-sets-of-6","title":"Edding 4200 Porcelain Brush Pen — Sets of 6","description":"\u003cp\u003eDecorating ceramics and porcelain at home has always required either specialist skills or specialist materials — until pens like the edding 4200 made the whole process straightforward enough for anyone to pick up and get excellent results from immediately. These are brush pens designed specifically for use on porcelain, glazed ceramics, and heat-resistant glass, with a water-based pigment ink that air-dries quickly, can be corrected before baking, and once baked in a domestic oven produces a vibrant, glossy, permanent finish that is dishwasher safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flexible brush nib has a stroke width of 1 to 4mm — narrow enough for fine lettering and detailed decoration, broad enough for filling larger areas with smooth, even colour. The creamy, pigment-based ink applies without dripping, running, or producing uneven coverage, giving consistent and satisfying results even for complete beginners. Because the ink dries quickly to the touch, multiple colours can be applied in sequence without bleeding into each other — simply allow the first colour to dry before applying the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe baking process is what makes the edding 4200 genuinely useful for functional items. Once the decoration is dry — allow at least 15 minutes — bake the piece in a preheated oven at 160°C for 25 minutes, then allow it to cool in the oven. The heat permanently bonds the pigment ink to the surface, producing a hard, glossy finish with real depth that closely resembles a glaze. Once baked, the decoration is dishwasher safe up to 50°C and waterproof. Before baking, any mistakes can be wiped away easily with a damp cloth — which makes the edding 4200 particularly forgiving for anyone new to porcelain decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe stock the edding 4200 in two carefully chosen palettes of six, each suited to a different creative approach:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFamily\u003c\/strong\u003e contains Black, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Brown — a versatile, all-purpose set covering the core working colours. This is the natural starting point for anyone new to porcelain decoration, giving a broad, balanced palette suited to lettering, patterns, illustrations, and general decorative work on mugs, plates, and ceramics of all kinds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarm\u003c\/strong\u003e contains Red, Orange, Brown, Pink, Carmine Red, and Crimson Lake — a rich, cohesive palette of warm tones that works beautifully for floral motifs, autumnal designs, and any decorative work where depth and warmth of colour is the priority. The range of reds from Carmine Red through to Crimson Lake gives excellent flexibility for shading and tonal variation within a single palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePens should be stored horizontally after use to maintain consistent ink flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant note on surfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply only to surfaces that have been thoroughly cleaned and are completely free of dust, grease, and fingerprints. For items with a manufacturer's protective coating, clean with isopropyl alcohol before decorating to ensure the ink bonds directly to the surface. Do not apply decoration to areas that will come into direct contact with food or drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat surfaces can the edding 4200 be used on?\u003c\/strong\u003e Porcelain, glazed ceramics, and heat-resistant glass. The surface must be clean, dry, and completely free of grease and fingerprints before applying the ink. Not suitable for unglazed or raw ceramic surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you make the decoration permanent?\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow the decoration to dry for at least 15 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for 25 minutes. Allow to cool in the oven before removing. Once baked, the ink is permanently bonded to the surface, dishwasher safe up to 50°C, and waterproof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan mistakes be corrected?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — before baking, the ink can be wiped away with a damp cloth and the area redecorated. Once baked, the decoration is permanent and cannot be removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the finish glossy after baking?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Baking produces a hard, glossy finish with real depth that closely resembles the appearance of a glaze — vibrant, smooth, and permanent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the nib size?\u003c\/strong\u003e The flexible brush nib produces strokes from 1 to 4mm depending on the angle and pressure applied, making it suitable for both fine detail work and broader decorative marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it suitable for beginners?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — the creamy, non-dripping ink and forgiving correction process before baking make the edding 4200 a very accessible introduction to porcelain decoration. The results are excellent even without prior experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich palette should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Family set is the most versatile starting point — a broad, balanced palette covering the essential working colours. The Warm set suits anyone who wants a more focused, cohesive colour palette, particularly for floral, botanical, or warm-toned decorative work. Both sets can be used together and the inks are fully compatible with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady for the next one!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artstat","offers":[{"title":"Family","offer_id":57032942649719,"sku":"PEA4200-6","price":11.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warm","offer_id":57032942682487,"sku":"PEA4200-6999","price":11.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0076\/2288\/5428\/files\/familyedd.jpg?v=1776852917","url":"https:\/\/craftandcanvas.co.uk\/products\/edding-4200-porcelain-brush-pen-sets-of-6","provider":"Craft and Canvas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
