The Tria Markers are also made by the same compant and they have a brush tip on one end and on the other a chisel tip and a fine tip that snaps over the chisel end (the chisel end feeds the fine tip.) The Trias are AWESOME, like the Royls Royce of markers LOL! You can refill them and replace the nibs. They retail for $2.75 but I've seen them online for $1.50 There is an airbrush system available for the ProMarkers as well and they just came out with new blending packs that look awesome They have a bullet tip and a chisel tip. The ink is the same kind copics use (their own formula of course) the blend well and work well with copics. Can anyone tell me if they are like Copics, how much they are and where they are sold? I just heard about a marker like Copic called Promarker. Good luck with your set into the marker world, they are a wonderful medium! I look forward to trying out my Promarkers. But I am very happy with my Touch markers. My Design2 markers have the same problem so I use copic and design markers the least of all, which is a bummer because copic has so many pretty colors. To be honest, I find copics to be the most fussy marker due to a known issue with some of the density of their inks in some colors, which may not be an issue for most stampers, but causes big issues in a large piece. I do large art pieces with my markers, you can see them on my blog listed below. The nice thing about Blick is you can buy single markers to try out different brands to see which one you like.Īs lee lulu said, each has pros and cons. You can get Touch, ProMarker, Prisma, and Copics all from Art Supplies from Dick Blick Art Materials or. Touch are also going to have a brush marker and I would like to get some of those. (I have some old Design2 markers which are about 13 yes old and still are juicy). Since I use some colors more than others, I don't think I will need to replace all of my colors with the refillable model since these type of markers can last a very, very long time.
I plan on replacing a color one at a time when a marker runs dry, with a refillable one. Touch are my favorite and I got a good price on them because the current model is on clearance to make room for the refillable model. I also have some Copics and Dick Blick markers. I have ShinHan Touch markers and they are coming out with refillable/replaceable nibs early this summer. They hold much more ink than Copics do according to a review I saw, 30% more. I just bought a few Promarkers from Arizona Art. i am sure if you gave them a "go" you would'nt be disappointed! Happy Colouring!

I buy all of my promarkers from a fantastic company here in the UK called Joanna sheen as not only does she provide outstanding customer service but she also offers FREE world wide shipping! Always a BIG plus for me! At todays exchange rate a single pen would cost approx $2.50 US and a set of 5/6 $10.50 US. They are chunkier in build which I personally prefer but that may just be because I am more used to holding that sort of pen!Īt the end of the day the colouring result is EXACTLY the same and at a far more affordable cost. Also they are named and not numbered like copics (which I personally find a pain when a seller just lists the copic number and not the colour) The sets are themed unlike copics so you get sets like Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Christmas, Built environment, Pastels to name just a few. A big plus is that they are WAY cheaper than copics and you can buy many different sets which usually come in a pack of 5 sometimes with a fineliner pen included in the pack. Promarkers are like copics double ended and are alcohol based so you get exactly the same result as using a copic pen. I don't have a huge collection (yet!) approx 60 but I can give you IMO the pro's and cons for each. I have a full set of promarkers (approx 150 and counting! as they add to their range) and having seen copics a while back in the US on vacation and seeing the results here on SCS I decided to start buying them too! A very small amount of crafters over here have copics but as with everything from "across the pond" they are now becoming VERY popular and more available. Promarkers are far more widely used over here than copics and for a long time copics were virtually unobtainable so most UK crafters have invested in the promarkers. I would describe them as the British version of copics. Hi There! Promarkers are made here in England UK by a company called Letraset.
