These alcohol markers are brilliant value, with all the usual Copic quality but at less cost! Same high-quality ink in 143 vibrant colours (+ colourless blender) using virtually odourless alcohol-based ink.
Copics have a Twin-tip design, one end has a brush marker the other is a medium chisel tip- ideal for most sketching and design purposes and work fabulously on stamped images.
NB - If you are using your copics to colour stamped images do not used StazOn as the alcohol in copic markers reactivate the stazOn ink smearing your work and it will ruin your markers.
The best ink I have found that will stamp a clear and crisp image and doesn't need time to set is "Memento Tuxeso BlacK"
