An even colour distribution is easy to achieve with is flexible brush nib and creamy application, making the New edding 4200 porcelain brushpen great for beginners. Once your work has dried you simply heat in the oven, your designs will then be dishwasher-safe. To apply multiple colours without mixing the shades, allow the first colour to dry before applying the next.

Instructions for application:

1. Before decorating, clean thoroughly in the dishwasher and use a detergent or denatured alcohol to remove fingerprints or traces of grease.
2. As you decorate, make sure there are no unnecessary fingerprints underneath the ink as you apply it. Allow to dry for 15 minutes before heating in the oven at 160°C for 25 minutes and then to cool in the oven.
3. Only use the brushpen for decorative purposes. Avoid decorating areas of the porcelain that are used for cutting, eating or drinking. For example, only decorate the rim of a plate or the outside of a mug.
4. Daily cleaning: avoid friction, rubbing and scrubbing by positioning the item in the dishwasher so that it is not in contact with other items of crockery or cutlery.
