Zenacolor - 40 Fabric Pens Permanent for Clothes - Fine Point

I absolutely love these fabric paint pens! The quality is amazing and there are so many colours to choose from. I used them to create different designs on 7 tops for Total Warrior, and they worked brilliantly. I was especially impressed with how well the designs held up. The tops went through loads of mud and water during Total Warrior and then went through the washing machine afterwards, but the designs didn’t wash away at all. They still had plenty of colour and looked great! The pens also didn’t streak while I was using them and I had no issues with the colours bleeding into each other, which made creating the designs so much easier. Overall, I’m really impressed with these. Great range of colours, easy to use and incredibly durable. I would definitely recommend them!

Bought to decorate triangles of white cotton material to make bunting. Worked very well, easy to use pens, good strong colours. Looked great!

These pens are decent: great selection of colours, good value, easy to use and no duds. However, the packet doesn’t say you need to do anything to fix the designs before washing - but it really, really helps to iron on a cotton setting for ~4min first! (One of the pictures on the Amazon listing does mention it.) The picture shows a test we did, comparing ironing before washing (left) against just washing (right). There’s a clear win for the ironing. You should also wash at a maximum of 30°C. There’s more fading if you wash at 40 (as in the picture). Without ironing some colours disappear completely at 40! The ironed side resisted even this better too, but 30 is your friend. You’ll see from the picture that we were comparing against another brand. Those pens came with the fixing instructions that we followed in our test on both brands. The other brand washes better and remains more vivid, even at 40 and even if you don’t fix as instructed; but the selection of colours in these Zenacolor pens is vastly better, and all the pens worked (not true of the others). Nevertheless, I’d probably use the other brand in future projects where I didn’t mind the limited palette, because of the better durability. Edit to add: Dozens of 30° washes later, the designs with these pens (that we ironed to set) have lasted pretty well. They’ve inevitably faded a bit, but are still clear. So as long as you treat them right, these pens work well! Edit 2: Would you believe, there actually are some usage instructions - including a low key suggestion that you could iron the design to “help” set it - on the piece of cardboard *between the two layers of pens*! 4 months it took me to find that, and then only because the box tore and fell apart. Argh! Anyway, IRON YOUR DESIGNS!

Just what I was looking for. Can't wait to try them out.

They were a gift for my daughter in laws birthday she loves them

Good pens bright colours bought for a friend

They dry out very fast. Colours show better on white. The pens fall about in the packet and get lost on the floor. They would be fine for a school project that is over in 1 wk. Some colours are good. So they are somewhat limited. I would recommend them from about 10yrs upwards. I have not yet washed the design to know how permanent the colour stands up. I will not buy again, not suitable for what I need.

Pens were for my daughter to personalise a T-shirt for Disney Halloween! Turned out great!!

Kids vinden het geweldig

Pintan muy bien y los colores son preciosos

Very good! Used them for bibs so they are wet all the time and washed very often ? The markers held, some did dry as others mentioned (two) but perfect for out baby shower activity

Meravigliosi, indelebili anche con molti lavaggi

Au top !! Utilisable sur textile et ne part pas au lavage mais aussi sur les vitres pour les décorations de fêtes et se retire avec un simple chiffon et de l'eau.
