The Tabletop family uses a softer, finer white fibre than the standard AK synthetics. Two things follow from that: it holds more paint, and the pale bristles show you immediately when colour is creeping towards the ferrule – the single habit that kills more brushes than anything else. Size 0 is the detail end of the family.

Frequently asked questions
Tabletop or standard synthetic?
Tabletop is softer and holds more paint – better for layering, washes and oils. Standard is springier – better for crisp lines and chipping.
Will the white bristles stain?
They will discolour over time, especially with inks. That is cosmetic; the fibre itself is unaffected.
How do I clean an AK synthetic brush?
Rinse it in clean water – or the matching thinner for enamels and oils – before the paint sets, work brush soap into the bristles with your fingers, reshape the tip and let it dry point-up. Never leave a brush standing in a jar. The cleaners are in thinners and cleaners.
Synthetic or Kolinsky sable?
Synthetic fibre is springier, cheaper and completely indifferent to harsh thinners, so it is the right choice for varnish, enamels, oils, pigments and every abrasive technique. Sable holds more liquid and comes to a finer point – that is the da Vinci brushes range. Most painters end up owning both and using each for what it does best.
The complete range is in the AK Interactive brushes category.
