Ink runs out fast if working same color in large area

Paint markers that fill the bill! Excellent variety, brilliant colors, and packaged with great care. Each paint pen was individually wrapped. Using my exacto knife to slice each end, the plastic wrappers came off easily. Love that the steps for “activating” the markers is printed on each one. I found that dispelling air from the nip is an important step. Sometimes I had to go thru the steps twice, but they all work beautifully! You have to be patient on the last step - allowing the paint to fill the nib while it’s pressed down. It’s well worth the wait!

Arrived in Good time. I found a pen hard to remove the celepane the pen was enclosed with.Took my guess Minutes to get a pen primed ready to use. Finally when using a pen I found itto dry up fast. Had to plunge the point in n out to get the ink flowing. Maybe I need to takelessons on Exactly how to open and use properly. Not a happy customer at all.... :+{

I bought this set since I noticed there were some colors in it that I didn’t have in Posca form. The set arrived quickly and was packaged well. I shook and primed all the markers and noticed they’re fairly streaky and when you lay color over an area, you can still see lines. They dry matte, but patchy. If you want to try acrylic markers and aren’t looking to spend a fortune on POSCAs, I think I’d recommend these. It’s still a good value for what you pay and I’ll still use these markers. They’re just not the quality I’m used to.

My original review: These are mostly great paint pens, nice color, very opaque, no smell at all. The "extra fine" 0.7 is a little thicker than I expected but that is ok. The only issue I have is the warmer of the two yellows had a broken nib and the darkest blue already had the ink down when I got it, and it was completely dried up. Those are two colors I would use a lot. :/ But other than that, these work great. Specifically I swatched them over golden fluid acrylics that had been gelli printed and they worked great over top of that. Then I did on a more porous paper and again, no spreading or weirdness other than those two colors being basically useless.UPDATED: Almost every pen is leaking at the juncture where the pen nib housing attaches to the pen handle, despite extreme care in making sure that juncture is tight every. single. time.I am storing the pens upright even, and when I go to get a pen the next day there is ink all down the barrel and all over the other pens, from most every color I have used. I like the ink/paint a lot and they are the colors I use the most in my art so it is great to have these colors (ie the brown pen exactly matches my GFA Burnt Sienna and the teal green color exactly matches my LB Bright Aqua Green, the darker green matches the dark teal I make when mixing Pthalo Green and Pthalo Blue) but the mess I have to contend with to use them hardly makes it worth it. I guess that is why they are so cheap.Additional info: I skip using the white as it is not as opaque as my Gelli Roll white pen.

These are okay and I haven't used them all, but one of them I could not get the top off and when I did it was not just the top but the part where the stem attached came off. Finally got it back together but it was still difficult to get off. Also I had to put them in another container because once you take one out of the box, all the others get out of place. It just isn't easy then to keep them together. I bought them to use on a glass piece but have not tried them on glass yet. If it doesn't work I'll revise my report.

I purchased these instead of a set of brush pens because I thought they were similar enough. They are not. The hard body of these acrylic markers makes it VERY time consuming to fill the tips with paint to get the marker going. I spent 20 minutes fussing with ONE. As an artist, I wouldn't be able to use these except for crafting or scrapbooking. If you're looking for what basically equates to acrylic paint on a paint brush, search for acrylic brush pens. If you want markers that wont bleed, even through paper, than these arent bad. Just be prepared to spend some time filling the tip heads up (or un cap each marker while in the box, flip the box over with markers inside and put a heavy book on the top so that it weighs it down and pushes all the marker tips inside to fill up - keep an eye on it)

Unless replacement nips come with this, I'm not sure how helpful these are. Each of the markers have a nib, once paint soaked, the nib is capped. When you are attempting to use a second time, 50% will not function or allow paint flow. Very disappointed. Of course, I learn this on 2/7 when the return window ended 2/6 lol. Oh well
