What type of tip do the Ciao manga set have? Is it a dual tip like the regular Copic markers?

Yes, Ciao and Sketch Copic markers are the same as far as tips go. The difference between them is that the Ciao/ while being pretty much the same as the Sketch ones/ just come in about 50 less colors, give or take a few. I never counted them to be sure. They also hold a little less ink then the Sketch. But otherwise they are the same.

I like them both. I got the Tombow around the end of the year because they were on sale for around $100 for the whole set, a lot of different colors. I really liked them. They are a lot of good colors and have a smaller diameter barrel--just almost like holding a bit thicker pencil. I like experimenting to see what I can do with the different markers as sometimes it is a lot of work to set up to paint when I just want to do a picture now. Prismacolor is a bit thicker barrel but appears to work well too but I only have the smaller sets and am still experimenting. Copic markers are refillable and so are the Spectrum Noir. Copic has good brush makers and you have to purchase brush tips to put into the Spectrum Noir. Out of the four, I still think Tombow is my favorite but unfortunately not refillable. I don't believe Prismacolor is refillable either. I am still experimenting with all of them but at this point this is what I can offer. I hope this helps.

They are similar to like a crayola marker (the thinner ones). They are definitely not fine tipped. They work really well though. I love anything made by Frixion really. =]

The copic markers bleed through, good for acrylics, collage....light water coloring

It comes with the R3 tip. This is the standard tip and is good for pretty much everything. The r1 and r2 tips are thinner, but less sensitive, and the brush tips are, in my opinion just for novelty. I've never gotten much use out of the brushes.

It comes with several tips. They look like Hacko tips to me but I could be wrong. I'm very happy with it. It is made very well and performs perfectly. Hope this helps.

I haven't used the tripod tip. All that I can say is that I happened to grab a regular cane to go out to get my paper and the difference between the Hugo tip and a regular tip is that the Hugo is much more stable. Those are the only ones that I have used. It is smaller than some of the ones that I have seen. It depends on how much extra stability you need.

Tip is a soft rubber like substance. About the diameter of a #2 pencil, maybe a little smaller.

These pens have the appearance of gouache when they dry (takes about 5 minutes to dry, but give it 10 minutes to set). They are not good for drawing fine lines, but they do have a nice even surface once they are dry which is great for filling in larger areas. They are not dark like manga, even the black dries gray. Unless you are inventing a new style of manga (which could be interesting), I would recommend sticking with Sakura's Micron pens. Micron does have brush tip pens for filling in larger areas. If you want to try manga on black paper and don't mind wider lines, these could look pretty cool. Enjoy your arting!

Copic is produced by .Too Corporation in Japan; they may not be available in all regions (This is also true for Copic give-a-aways that they do through Imagination International.) If the seller ships internationally from the Amazon.com (United States) marketplace, then it could be mailed to Australia. I suggest going to Amazon.com.au (Australia) and doing a marketplace search for Copic markers. Additionally, you may also search on the Copic website to find a local retailer near you.

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.

It looks like the T18-D16. Most of the availabe tips are in this style. It is a small chisel. I think the B is a pencil tip.

These are fine-tip markers. I think your daughter will love these pens. I'm giving two sets away for Christmas this year.

I have a blue tip that came with the machine and a yellow tip that was purchased separately. They are exactly the same tip, just different color.

I got two tips when I ordered my forever diamond tips. The smaller face tip has D-100 on the side. The larger tip for other areas says D-75.They both work great.

Been sketching with Flair tips since 1971. Then they had a small white point guard at the writing tip, but the tip still got wider after usage and pressure. The ones I use today don't have that point guard and seem to be harder and keep a point longer but still get wider and softer after usage and pressure. My first time hearing "Hardhead" associated with Flair pens. Sounds like a selling tag. Just my opinion. Black is the only color I've ever used, about one a month.
