I bought these markers as I wanted some alcohol markers. These are my first and it was hard to find many reviews on this product. For the price they are relatively cheap for alcohol markers and that was the biggest appeal to me but I also wanted something quality.The box contains a wide selection of colours and they blend together pretty well... Though there are only 60 colours the majority of them were vibrant but when I wanted something lighter there was nothing. With this brand there is no colourless blender, I found that a Copic colourless blender will work. Overall they are good and if you are looking for markers to play with that won't put a hole in your pocket these are alright.

Alcohol Markers

I bought these markers to see what they were like after people in a group thought they were a great product. These markers are good for beginners in colouring stamped images. I am not an artist so only use them for my stamped images on greeting cards. The colours are nice, and while these may not be the best for blending colours (where you need three shades in a colour family to blend) they do a pretty good job and are suitable for my needs. Storage is provided by the case the markers come in, with a handle and a couple of lock clips on the side. Overall I think it is a good product and anyone who buys it as a basic colouring tool would be happy with the results from using these markers.

Depends on what you use them for

I have purchased these markers a few times due to their affordability and quality. The most recent batch was quite the disappointment, as they were brand new and numerous were dried out and unusable. I layer my art with different mediums so these are perfect. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone who takes their markers seriously - the results are inconsistent and over time whichever tip is downwards is obviously the end that is going to have all of the ink and makes having the dual tips pointless.

Good pens, but colours don't match

I bought this pack about a month ago, I do like the markers themselves but have come across a couple of issues.The colours on the lid do not match the actual colour for a lot of them. I use thick paper and an under sheet however, when I returned to my art book the next day the colour had seeped through multiple pages either side.

Good value set.

Bought these from a specials bin on a whim. Have had lots of fun with them. Make sure to use a backing sheet because they will go through a couple of pages in cheaper notebooks or leave marks on your bench.Pros:Fast drying alcohol based markers with a wide and thin end that are easy to use. Good variety of colours that blend well. Good value for moneyCons:Marker tips are numbered, but the system doesn't make much sense e.gcanary yellow = 120, light yellow = 106, yellow = 102, fresh yellow = 142.Each of these colours is just slightly darker than the next but the numbers vary wildly.Only the tips are named and numbered, not the body of the marker. If you take both ends off several similar markers you will lose track of which pen they belong to because ... MoreBought these from a specials bin on a whim. Have had lots of fun with them.

Great Entry Level pack to alcohol markers

Wanted a pack for simple background work to compliment colour pencil work. These are perfect for that. Dual ended, good ink and all markers worked very well. Would definitely recommend doing a swatch sheet as the lid colours don't quite meet the ink colour. I am delighted with the quality compared with more expensive brands. I won't stress if we need to use for a school project as the price point makes them replaceable. Carry Case is study and I would recommend.

Great if you move quick

I’ve seen the box by the cashiers a few times at office works but we’re told they bleed quite a bit so didn’t bother. But last time I was there I figured if they weren’t great I’d just use the container they came in to store my copics. On typical A4 printing paper expect them to run. Probably not the best if you’re buying them for a kid who’s heavy handy. Thick of them like a Sharpie. I’ve been using them on a cheap Cannon 220 drawing pad and they actually work great for bold - solid coloured artworks... the nibs are nice and strong and colours are bright so you can get quite a lot of surface area done quite quickly which I liked!... they don’t blend at all! Again think of them like a Sharpie. So for the price and for my kind of artwork I’d re-purchase these.

Not great

I purchased these a month ago and was very pleased with them initially. However I don't think I would buy them again. Within a month, after only using on two occasions, re-capping meticulously and keeping in their container, the broad end of one colour has dried up. I haven't been through them all to check the others, Very disappointing.

Quality Markers

I bought this 60 pack set around a week ago, and I'm quite impressed with the quality of the markers. For the price, the markers you get are a lot better than what they're worth in this pack.Pros: Colour range is fairly good, markers move across paper quite easilyCons: Some of the colours on the top of the markers are far off from what they actually show up as on paper, so test out the nibs before using them on work.

Wow ! Pleasantly surprised

I bought these yesterday, just as a top up to my marker collections. I really didn’t expect too much as you normally “get what you pay for”. Well, happy to say I was wrong in this instance. These alcohol markers are fabulous. While they’re not meant to be blender markers, They blend quite well - not as smooth as the copics, which I also have, but with work, they definitely achieve a blended look.Just be aware:- the numbers really have no pattern, unlike the copics. You need to work out the blend layer for yourself.- there is no colour Name on the tube of the pen, Which means if you remove the caps on both ends, you’ll have no idea which colour is which, but I’ve easily fixed this by adding a label to each.- These obviously aren’t lifetime markers, so ... MoreI bought these yesterday, just as a top up to my marker collections.

Thrilled with the purchase and unbelievable quality for price .
