What makes them better than other markers?

These markers are incredible for a few reasons, the biggest one being how consistent the ink flows. Its very hard to explain but this marker is like a paintbrush and a marker got together and had a baby. The ink comes out so naturally and easily and the color never changes. Its as if you are using a paintbrush and you have the perfect amount of paint on the brush and never have to keep applying the paint to it. It's always perfect, 100% of the time.

Hello, I ordered a box of a variety of colours and each pen has its own holder. These markers are great for mixed media and last a long time.

I currently use water-based markers just to be safe. However, discs I've had for two decades that were written on with a sharpie show and they no sign of deterioration. I'm not saying it's impossible for something in the ink to penetrate the disc's coating and cause damage, but I suspect people are being paranoid, and their disc failures are likely due to something else.

I am sorry but I'm not sure. I ordered the Ultra Fine Point ones and they work really well with coloring in small areas. Hope that helps. I just looked on the markers and they don't say what mm they are.

This is a very open-ended question. The answer depends on what you are trying to accomplish. The pens work great, are smooth, bright and fun to work with. I do a lot of organized doodling (some call it tangling) and for my purposes they work wonderfully. The only negative is they can smear just a bit if you don't give them a second or two to dry. I do wish they came in finer point sizes; but still great. As always, this is only my opinion and the only way to be sure they work for you is try them. There may be smaller groupings at a lower price if that is a concern.

I actually own both and I have to say, I like these pens much better for doing quicker, more rough sketches but they do tend to bleed a bit when I color over them with my Copic sketch markers. The Copic Multiliners are wonderful in the sense of having both refillable ink as well as replaceable nibs (tips), however the tips do not feel as durable and strong as the F.C. pens. I'm worried about bending or breaking the tips on them. Another issue is that they have a bit more of a "rough" feeling on paper, whereas the F.C.'s are much smoother and forgiving. I tend to use the Copic pens to finish and do details. FYI : With my Copic pens I use the sizes : 0.005, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7. With the Faber Castell pens I use the S (super fine) and F (fine) sizes. I was mainly referring to the 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 size Copics in my comparison above.

Certainly, but the "chalk" marker that comes with the board writes much better than chalk, and is easier to use and clean.

I am an in-betweener. They show up but do not have dazzling intensity. I have bought the thicker erasables and they are more vibrant.

I honestly don't know...I got it for my boyfriend & he has never used marker in the book. Sorry.

I'm really not sure, they're just cheap markers. Not like sharpies or anything. Not name brand markers, I am not sure if it even said anything on the pack of markers to be honest.

These are opaque. I use them on canvas and in mixed media applications so I often have to apply additional layers to get a cleaner more uniform look. if you are planning on layering colors, be warned that the tips on the PC-1M markers are plastic and have a tendency to scratch the previous layer.

It would depend on what the purpose of the markers are for, pack B is geared more towards anime/character drawing. there is a large selection of skin tones/hair colours etc. pack A from what I remember has more colour for such things as landscapes etc. I purchased be as I draw anime/gothic style girls. Hope this helps

Mr. Guzowski, these markers were a part of a Christmas gift to my three young grandsons and their use has not been evaluated for use on the light designer. Sorry I am not able to answer your question to your satisfaction.

Entirely my opinion from testing and experience, I like paper with some weight to it such as Bristol,vellum Bristol, watercolor, or for mix media or dry medium. But try any paper your curious to try it on, it might be different for you. How you blend/use the markers is a definite factor. For example, I can use high quality paper but if I don't understand how to blend/use the markers, it'll still come out bad. Hope that helps!

No, they're not a permanent marker. They are a nice writing type pen. They would smudge.

The new Spectrum Noir markers have a hexagon barrel so they are more comfortable to hold. Other than that, I have found no difference. I have both and use both with great results.

Yes, you can use a marker on them. They give you a nice white surface to write on. I don't do it but have friends that do. The ones that you do not print on just might be a little cheaper though. Hope I helped.
