This is my first time trying any type of alcohol based markers. I usually use Sharpies or Bics but saw an Instagram video and wanted to check these out. I read reviews before ordering these, watched videos, and what not. I am impressed with these markers. That being said, before ordering, if you are planning on using these for coloring regular copy paper coloring pages, they will bleed. Be careful with front/back coloring books. I've attached a picture of a color sheet (it's on cardstock). As others have stated, no the markers do not exactly match the color on the pen, but for the lower price, these are worth it. Again, I am new at these, but I think they are beautiful markers. The case is wonderful. They did bleed through to the back of the cardstock but not onto the other page I had underneath. Read reviews, do research, but if you want to learn about using alcohol markets without paying a hefty price, these are the choice.
The only problems I had were:
1. I found two hairs in my markers, yuck
2. I did have to organize them by color (more or less my need to be organized but if not then no problem) and,
3. The markers had a weird film-feeling on them. It just left my hands feeling a little grimey after I used them. I ended up wiping them down with peroxide.
Helpful?
