The Tria Pantone Markers and Ink System is based around the Pantone Colours Chart. With a range of 293 Pantone Tria inks available (download PDF of TRIA PANTONE Colours) the markers and brushpens can be filled with any colour or custom mix.
Tria Pantone Markers
Tria Pantone Markers hand you the productivity of three nibs, broad chisel, fine and ultra fine in one creative tool. Tria Nibs are engineered to give the colour flow and art surface 'feel' so vital to creative colour rendering. Tria Markers are easily refilled with Tria Inks.
Tria Brushpen
The Tria Brushpen features a flexible cone point brush nib, ideal for a multitude of illustration, art and craft techniques. The clear calibrated ink reservoir makes filling easy - especially convenient for mixing Inks or blending tints, and keeping them for future projects.
Tria Pantone Inks
Tria inks are alcohol based. The base colours are vibrant, saturated hues and the range extends through subtle pastels to greys and neutrals. Tria Inks can be mixed to create an unlimited range of colour blends and tints.
Accessories
The Tria Wallet is the smart way to carry up to 24 Tria Markers and Brushpens ready for action. On the desktop, Tria Organisers store and display up to 12 Markers or Brushpens ready for use.
LetraJet Air Marker
The LetraJet Air Marker kit gives you convenient airbrushed colour, straight from your Tria Markers. The letraset Bleedproof Marker Pad is the original and the best non-bleed, non-feather art surface for all Tria Marker, Brushpen and Ink artworks.
Bleedproof Pads & Art surfaces
The Tria System uses transparent dye-based colours which perform best on bright white paper, although interesting effects can be produced on tinted surfaces. Tria Inks are alcohol based and may 'bleed' through most papers. Use a backing sheet for protection. We recommend using the Letraset Bleedproof Marker Pad for all marker artwork.
Colour depth
Marker colour gets darker each time you go over a spot. Layer the same colour over itself for darker tones. Always begin with lighter shades since you can darken a colour, but you cannot lighten it. Add dark shadows and accent colours last.
Mixing colours
Tria colours are transparent and when two colours overlap they will mix to produce a third colour. This depends not only on the two colours used, but on the order in which they are applied - the second colour will tend to dominate. If two pale colours are overlapped, the resulting mix will show through well. If one colour is much stronger however, it will almost block out the paler colour.
Blending
When one colour is put down next to or over another dried colour, then normally the edge between should remain sharp. However, if the second colour is quickly overlapped while the first is still 'wet', the two will blend into each other. To create a smooth blend between two colours use a Tria Blender Marker which will merge wet or dry colours. Blends vary on different papers, so try a small sample first.
