Whether you're sketching, journaling, illustrating, or doing hand lettering, this marker delivers a rich, living hue that plays across light and shadow.

Visual & Chromatic Character

• Teal with Blue-Green Intensity
  The underlying Sailor #564 ink is described in swatch testing as a mid blue-green that “bleeds out feint blues at the edges” and shows strong chromatic behavior under diffusion. FOUNTAIN PEN INK ART+1 In other words, it’s not a flat turquoise — it carries internal dynamism, especially in diluted or feathered strokes.

• Medium Shading & Dark Sheen
  According to aggregated tests, 564 exhibits medium shading, meaning the hue will vary noticeably between lighter and fuller strokes. Mountain of Ink In heavy saturation or pooling, a very dark sheen may appear — offering a glossy overlayer to the vivid teal core. FOUNTAIN PEN INK ART

• Dry Time & Behavior
  In fountain pen ink trials, 564 (and its companions in Set 14) typically dried in about 20–30 seconds on smooth, fountain?pen friendly papers. Mountain of Ink On more absorbent or standard paper, expect slower settling and potential for feathering in broader strokes.

• Edge Diffusion & Halo Effects
  One of 564’s most compelling traits is how it “feathers out feint blues at the edges” under wash or diluted strokes. FOUNTAIN PEN INK ART In marker use, this means lighter lines or blended transitions may carry a soft halo or tinted fringe — a visual flourish rather than a flaw.

Expected / Inferred Marker Design & Features

Given how Sailor’s Studio / Ink marker line is organized and how the #564 ink behaves, the 26?5210?564 marker would likely include:

• Dual Tips: A brush end for sweeping color washes, shading, and expressive forms; plus a fine / hard tip for delicate detail, outlines, and text.

• Ink Type: A dye?based, water-soluble formula (non?pigmented), adapted from the bottled 564 ink to be safe for marker feeds and tips.

• Plastic Body with Color Accents: Clean, lightweight construction — likely white or neutral with color-coded caps or accents matching the teal ink.

• Performance Qualities:

  • Smooth and even ink flow, especially when the marker is new or freshly primed

  • Good responsiveness to pressure variation (lighter strokes versus heavier ones)

  • Ability to layer and blend — lighter passes will reveal transition zones, while heavier strokes may show sheen

  • Moderate drying times, especially in saturated usage; risk of smudging if touched too soon

  • Best performance on smooth, low-absorbency, fountain?pen friendly or marker-grade papers

Usage Tips & Applications

• Paper Choice Matters
  For the best results — crisp edges, clear halo effects, controlled shading — use smooth, high-quality paper (marker, mixed-media, or fountain-pen?friendly).

• Layer Gradually
  Start with light, translucent layers and build up saturation in darker areas. This helps you harness the shading and chromatic nuances of 564 without overloading.

• Avoid Smudging
  Because of its moderate drying time, especially in denser areas, allow strokes to settle before layering or placing adjacent marks.

• Edge Effects as Feature
  Use lighter strokes or a damp brush to coax out the soft blue or teal halo that 564 tends to produce at diffusion edges — it can become a deliberate stylistic accent.

• Cap & Store Properly
  Always recap both ends when idle. If a tip dries slightly, gently scribble on scrap to revive full flow.

• Pairing & Matching
  If you use bottled Sailor 564 ink in fountain pens, the marker version aims to be harmoniously matched in color tone. Use the marker for swatching, accents, or portions of work where pens are impractical.
