Paint pen points, also called nibs or tips, are the parts of paint markers that make contact with your surface. They're designed to deliver paint smoothly and allow for precise lines, details, or broad strokes depending on their shape and size.

• Fine tips are great for outlining or writing.
• Brush tips work well for blending and filling larger areas.
• Replacement points help extend the life of your markers, so you can keep creating without buying a whole new pen.

Choosing the right point can help you achieve the look you want for your art or craft project.

Swapping out a paint pen tip is usually a simple process.

1. First, make sure your marker is capped and upright to avoid spills.
2. Gently pull the old tip out using tweezers or your fingers.
3. Insert the new replacement tip, pushing it in until it's snug.
4. Let the marker sit tip-down for a few minutes so the paint flows into the new nib.

Always check the instructions that come with your pen or replacement points, since some brands may have specific steps. This can help keep your markers working smoothly for longer.

Always check your marker and replacement tip packaging to see which surfaces they're best suited for. Trying a small test area can help you see how the paint flows and dries on your chosen material.

To help prevent paint pen tips from drying out, always recap your markers tightly after use. Store them horizontally or tip-down, depending on the manufacturer's instructions.

• If a tip starts to dry, gently remove it and soak it in a bit of water (for water-based markers) or replace it with a fresh point.
• Wipe off excess paint before recapping to avoid clogging.

Regular care can help your paint pens last longer and keep your lines crisp and vibrant.
