WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT COPIC MARKERS
Copic markers have carved a niche in the art world for their unmatched quality and versatility, especially for illustrators and comic creators. They're renowned for their alcohol-based ink, which dries quickly, allows for seamless blending, and facilitates smooth layering of colors. This translates to stunning depth and dimension in artwork. Furthermore, Copic offers a staggering range of over 350 vibrant colors, ensuring artists can achieve any shade or tone they desire. But Copic's commitment goes beyond initial quality. These markers are designed for longevity. Their ink can be refilled, and the nibs can be replaced, minimizing waste and making them a cost-effective choice in the long run. The innovative Copic Airbrush System further expands creative possibilities, allowing artists to unlock airbrushing techniques for even smoother gradients and effects.
HOW SHOULD I STORE MY COPIC MARKERS TO ENSURE LONGEVITY?
To ensure your Copic markers perform their best for years to come, proper storage is essential. Unlike some markers, Copic markers benefit from horizontal storage. This keeps the ink evenly distributed within the nib, preventing drying at the tip. Keep them out of direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, both of which can damage the markers and dry out the ink. A cool, dry place away from windows is ideal.
ARE COPIC MARKERS TOXIC?
Copic Markers are formulated with alcohol-based ink, which can have a strong odor. It is important to use them in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling the fumes directly. However, they are certified AP non-toxic, meaning they are safe for use by adults and children.
