how does it do with fine tip markers?

It does fine with Sharpie no-bleed markers, Pitt pens, Tombows and Micron Pigma pens. I don't know about Copic markers or other alcohol types.

Nope! It's like a felt-tip marker. I keep it in my pocket, my purse, wherever; haven't had any problems!

I have used them with baby bottles and I'm not a fan for the most part. 1) The ability to erase and re-write is a joke! 2) The markers do not last very long. They sent me 2 "new" ones but neither worked. What I did like is that they don't leave much, if any, sticky residue. I gave up on the erase functionality, but still use the labels each day. I just take them off and apply new ones. I read some reviews that the erasing worked very well, but after buying 2 packages and getting new markers, it never did! Good luck!

I haven't had any trouble with the tip clogging. I always make sure to clean the tip and cap it after every use. Also, don't press too hard when writing.

I used these markers to paint on glass and they worked great! They are as easy to use as a fine tip marker. I'm sure you can use them on a painted surface but keep in mind that they make a thin line and not much paint comes out at one time. They work by pressing the tip on a hard surface and pumping a small amount of paint into the tip. As far as durability goes, I have washed the glasses in the dishwasher and very little has worn off since In 2 months. It's a thin coating (like using a marker) so I wasn't expecting if to wear well with continuous washing. These would work great for detailed painting on something small that is not exposed to the elements.

I would say its nice pointed tip. It's very quiet and stops sharpening when the light goes on.

Not well. I think it's a water-based ink. It is kind of splotchy on most plastic - and ....I just tried wetting my finger after it dried for 5 minutes and could easily wipe the ink off the plastic. Then I tried a red and a blue "Sharpie" brand permanent marker - the most common type of permanent felt tip marker pen - and couldn't remove the mark after it dried for a minute. However, the calligraphic pen is permanent on paper - and the pens stay good for years - sometimes even surviving when they are left uncapped for a while. And their chisel points keep a nice shape too. Makes average handwriting - like mine - look fantastic. enjoy, Roger L. Not well. I think it's a water-based ink.

I use it for taking notes and it's very smooth. I have yet to find a stylus with a very thin tip that's made with this same material. I'm not an artist but I do draw sometimes with it and it works of me.

I tested mine with a sharpie pen and it started to smear. But it was fine with the sharpie marker... If that helps.

Never tried it. The slots on the Incra rule are very fine, leaving little side-to-side play so I doubt it would work with a fine tip Sharpie. I will say these rulers are great and work very well with a pencil.

It really depends on how you use your markers. These markers come with a fine tip nib as opposed to the standard chisel nib. I find that fine tip nib is more useful for illustration(which is what I do). The black casing is nice and I do have to say and these markers still come with a standard brush nib, so it's really up to you if it's worth it.

I had that problem with one of the markers I purchased...but, after I pumped it for awhile, it did start to write...If that doesn't work, it obviously is dried out for some reason...Good luck..

I write on mine with a Sharpie Ultra Fine Point Permanent Marker. I have not experienced any problems. My last order was shipped on 11-25-2013. The DVD finish on this order does not appear to be different from my previous order.

The tip is sturdy, however be mindful you shouldn't press it against the paper as a normal pen. Sakura recommends to use it at a 90 degree angle and not to add a lot of pressure when using it. I've owned several and no broken tips.

This glue pen is so good for fine lines, I have always got two in my desk. I would say be careful when their is not much glue left in the pen, because it has a habit of coming out in a blob of glue instead of your fine line. Each time you use the pen, just wipe it first and test on a piece of paper first before you start using it. Hope this was helpful!!

I used my Sharpies to draw on posterboard. If the metal had a texture, the markers should work. Slick-finished metal may result in paint that "wipes" easily. Hope this helps!
