Some contain waterproof ink while others contain water-soluble ink. The term “brush pen” is used for two primary types of tips: those made of a compressed fiber or rubber that flexes slightly (I’ll use ’s term “felt tips” to refer to them), and those made of natural or synthetic hairs or bristles like an actual brush.
