uniposca Paint Marker Pen - Extra Fine Point - Set of 12 (PC-1M12C)

Excellent for drawing and adding amazing colors to any surface that makes art come alive!

WOW! These are great acrylic paint markers! One of my favorite video acrylic painting teachers recommends these markers and uses them to sign her name on her painting at the end of each lesson. Another video teacher uses paint markers for projects that require a small line such as fine tree branches. I had purchased a couple of markers from a leading American acrylic paint brand and kept wondering why my markers didn't work like the ones in the video lessons. Then I saw this set and the price was so good I wanted to try them out. I LOVE these markers; the tips are actually as fine as advertised. The video instructor said she taped her caps on to be sure the markers wouldn't dry out.I think this set might be less expensive because the markers are smaller than the ones used in the videos. I don't think they are full sized Posca markers, but that is OK with me since it enabled me to get 12 beautiful colors. One full size marker of the American brand company cost about $7, while 12 markers in this pack was about $25 at the time I purchased them. I tried to find a volume on both brands of pen, but the Posca pen info is all in Japanese, and the American brand did not have a volume that I could find. I did find nib size--the Posca was 0.7mm and the American brand was 2.4mm. Both brands are about the same diameter, but the pens in this set are about an inch shorter than the other brand (Posca-4.75", other brand 5.5" with caps on).I tested the titanium white since some acrylic colors, such as yellow, are very transparent and need the area under them painted white first to give them good coverage. Both brands needed several coats of white to cover over a black line so I would say they were equal in transparency.I was concerned about the tips being firm enough to last a long time. I have a tendency to press too hard most of the time and some marker tips get mushy with use. Since the tip has to be pressed against a firm surface to prime with paint to get it flowing this could be a problem. I was pleased to see that the tips kept their point after pressing against the surface of my craft table (with a protective silicone cover over it).I needed a teal color but the set did not have teal. I pressed the tip several times to get a tiny puddle of a light blue and another puddle of yellow. I mixed a tiny bit of each color until I got a match close enough to what I needed, used a small paint brush to fill in where I needed to cover a mistake, and was very pleased with the result.I would highly recommend this set to any one wanting to try out acrylic markers. I don't know how long the markers will last since they are not full size, but I think if they are used carefully and capped immediately after use they will be OK. Tape placed around the cap edge of the marker to seal out any air leaks should help. The markers are a great size for adding to a travel crafts bag and would make great stocking stuffers for the painter/crafter in your family.

It had been a long time since I last used these markers, but I’m glad to see that even after years, they’re still great! All the markers arrived in perfect condition, the colors blend very well, and the acrylic paint dries very quickly, so you won’t have much time to mix them.The paint quality is excellent and solid, with vibrant and bright colors, making them perfect for what I need!I’ve seen people complain about the longevity of each marker, but it’s important to remember that it’s acrylic paint, so you can’t expect them to last for months if used extensively. Of course, it depends on how you use them; they’ll last longer or shorter accordingly.Can’t be compared to Sharpie markers; I’d say they are closer to professional alcohol-based markers for artists like Copic, which release a greater amount of ink, causing them to run out just as quickly.I use them for details in my drawings, so they tend to last me quite a while. Even so, I’m considering buying more markers in other colors to expand my collection. The tip length are great, and are easy to use.

These paint pens are great! I used them to paint on rocks and they work perfectly

Great color quality! And fun to use, They are great, do not transfer color on the bottom sheet, and quick drying. Great value for money!

I bought these as a Christmas gift, and my partner enjoys them! I like the number of colors included and how bright they are. The pens also write very smoothly, and they feel high-quality. They do take a bit to dry, and I would not suggest using them in a coloring book. That's to be expected with these kinds of markers. Overall, good product. We've had them for almost 8 months, and they're still super bright. Would definitely buy again.

These pens are great. I have used them previously and they seemingly last forever. On the down side - and this is just me - I should have gotten the fine or medium. They are REALLY fine.

These markers are vibrant, smooth and versatile. They are water based and work on any surface. The colors dry quickly!These markets are perfect for everything, from fine detail work to bold designs. Pics markers are a must have in any kits.
