Colour Marking Pens for laying out the Engraving

Colouring pens are an indispensable tool when laying out engravings. They offer a simple and effective way to embellish engravings and increase their legibility.

Before starting to lay out the engraving, the engraved surface must be thoroughly cleaned. Dust, dirt and metal residue should be removed to ensure a clean work surface. Thorough cleaning ensures that the coloured pencils adhere well and the colour is evenly distributed. The coloured pencil is carefully drawn over the engraving, making sure that the colour is evenly distributed in the recesses of the engraving. This step requires patience and precision in order to achieve a clean result. After the colour has been applied, excess colour often remains on the surface and needs to be removed. This can be done with a soft cloth or a sponge that is slightly moistened. It is important to wipe gently so as not to remove the colour in the engravings. Delicacy is required here to achieve a perfect finish.
