I specifically chose this listing over other cheaper options because of the lack of Asian language characters in the images shown. I know nothing of these paint markers, only that they were on a high school nephew’s Christmas list. It may sound ridiculous or pretentious, but I know kids can get made fun of for getting ‘off brand’ and cheaper items they take to school, hence why I specifically chose this listing. Accurate photos should be shown. My rating purposely does not reflect the quality or longevity of these markers as they were just delivered. I’ll update this review if I hear of poor quality.

I bought these for the grandchildren the color is very bold and long lasting

This is about as good as it gets for a high quality acrylic water based marker. Ive used and abused many high quality acrylic markers and nothing compares to the Uni-POSCA PC series for quality versus price. Posca ink is world renowned for its silky smooth, slightly chalky finish, not to mention the high opacity. These markers are excellent on paper, canvas, wood, plastic, glass, or metal, and just about any smooth dry surface can be painted. Really smooth surfaces such as plastic may need a slight scuffing with a high grit sandpaper to ensure proper paint adherence. Rough surfaces will work in some cases, but tend to eat up the nib and require more ink for complete coverage. One coat is usually suffice, but I like to apply two coats to smooth out any uneven areas, with at least ten minutes of drying time between coats. Several light coats of a matte acrylic clear coat will ensure permanency as well for long term archival of projects.

My son loves them. They all function as expected

takes a moment to get them to start. but they have great coverage, even if you go over it again it doesn’t effect it. worth the money no complaints

I tested these out last evening and they all worked fine. When each one is activated, you do have to press down on the tip, a half dozen times or so, before the paint begins to flow. I played around a bit, and was very happy with them. There wasnt any noticeable shift in color when dry. Do be sure any paint is dry before you go over it with another color though. Otherwise you will get the first color on the tip of the new color pen. This happened to me. I quickly released more color; dabbed at the tip with a wet paper towel, and it cleaned up fine. I would use another blending tool, if you like to blend when you paint. I am not a blender/painter, so I didnt test that out. Another thing I did test though was using it to ink up some home made stamps made of craft foam. They worked beautifully for that application. These will be great for art journaling. Because all of the information was in another language, I do not have any idea of the lightfast ratings. I would not use them in any fine art pieces. The pigment load seems good though, and as mentioned before; dry true to color.

My son was so excited to receive these cool markers for his birthday! Put a smile on his face.

I like every thing about it

*Box came in great condition, I’ve had them a while now and am just now reviewing! These are great! Now, the one complaint that I have for these is that you seriously have to shake them for about a minute casually or for 15-30 seconds pretty forcefully lol. It’s worth it, the opacity is nice once shaken up enough, but it most definitely takes some time. I do recommend them though, for how much they cover at once it’s nice!

These markers have great coverage. Very opaque. Great for coloring larger areas quickly.
