Looking For Alcohol Ink Permanent Markers?

I am what some people would call a craft dabbler. I love to experiment with different products to see what they are capable of doing for the art and crafts I love to create.


Well I recently got a chance to try out some Dual Tipped Alcohol Based Markers from FAN DI. It's a really nice set of alcohol ink permanent markers.


There are 80 markers in all, which gives you a really good color and blending selection. The markers are dual tipped, one end being a broad tip and the other a fine tip. Each one works well to help you fill in large areas quickly and to highlight smaller areas with more detail.


They all come in a zippered case with a handle on the top for easy transport and storage. I'm glad it has a case, but I do wish it was a little more structured with stiff sides to keep the pens more securely upright instead of wanting to fan out and kind of fall down as you take some out of the case. I found the best way to get them back in was to tip the case slightly on it's side and then they all straighten up making it easier to put the pens back in.


A very nice touch is that the markers are not round, so they never roll around on your desk or table getting easily lost or falling to the floor!


I like how well the pens blend color together and how well they fill in images, but you need to be aware that these do bleed through paper, so if you are coloring something, make sure another image is not behind it or you place several pieces of paper under the page you are working on. Several times the ink went through 3 sheets of paper. If you give them to your kids, don't leave them unsupervised!



For me, I see these markers as perfect for working on big projects, like posters or informational notices. The colors are bright, easy to see and the markers fill in areas quickly without having a lot of color overlap like some markers can have.

Even with a few negatives, I would still recommend these to you, although I do think they are a little pricey. But good markers will cost a little more! Quality is not cheap!
