@ellesomerheath No they're not. I used promarkers for a couple years, cos they were on sale at Hobbycraft (as they are right now) but since getting a set of Copic Ciaos (basically mini versions of the Sketch) I won't go back to the Promarkers now.
The main difference I find is the Copics bleed less into cartridge paper, and they don't affect the black line of my (Copic) fineliners. The PMs bleed quite a lot, they can smudge my fine lines, and they don't give such a smooth finish.
@injoystampin thanks :) cuz I get them at a local art store but they dont have a collection that am satisfied with; they cost 3.50$ so I guess they're alright. :)
@xDLN8 On the Joanna Sheen website (you'll have to google it) they have free shipping worldwide and have the whole collection most of the time so that makes it nice. It comes from England (where the Promarkers are from) but has very fast shipping. Hope that helps. :)
@NoteletsByDesign As far as I know, there is not Tesco in America, I got mine while living in Ireland. I'm sure there are lots of similar cases in the U.S. though. It may take a little looking around. Hope you find one.
i have promarker and wont to put the stickers on the base so i can c them when i put them away where do u get the white circle sticker keep looking in stationary shops but cant find them( i though they would be easy to find )
@lottiedottieb I just used white card and then punched out with a 19mm or 3/4" circle punch. I coloured them in myself. I then adhered them to the tops of the pens using a glue dot. Hope that helps. x
@supernintendogal They are the twin tips, and I purchased them from Joanna Sheen's website (just google her name if you're not familiar with her site). She ships worldwide with no p&p charges. Hope that helps. :c) LOVE my Promarkers!
Wow you have Alot of markers! Good I dea foe storage anyways what brand of marker is that are they good and are they cheap? By the way brilliant video!
@ilovethebeatles7771 The markers are Letraset Promarkers. They are the English made alcohol marker that is comparable to the Copic but much less expensive. I know I'm seeing them pop up in a lot of online stores lately so must be getting more popular as the price of Copics has risen. I definitely recommend the Promarkers. Hope that helps. :c)
@danbobs25 Oh, I did those myself using my markers and a 3/4" circle punch. I just adhered them to the top of my marker pens using a glue dot. HTH, Robyn x
that looks like a great idea Robyn. I will try it. Have you found any problems with it - it says on the box of my markers to always store them horizontally. Have you found storing them vertically causes any probs? x
@nerkola30 Hey there girl, how are you? I've missed your cheerful voice and fun videos. :c) So far, all is well with storing them this way. I rang Joanna Sheen's shop and I guess she always stores them upright with no difficulties. If I notice any problems, I'll definitely post an update video to let people know. I really love this storage idea and it's worked fab for me. Hugs, Robyn x
I stumbled upon your video the other day then randomly went to a store and ran into the markers. I can't believe the price difference between these and the copics. I'm planning to buy my first 50 do you have any suggetions on where I should start color wise?
Hi Robyn, Can I just say a big thank you for passing on this idea. I have just ordered mine from my local tescos and cant wait to get it. Can I ask what part of Northern Ireland you are from
Great and economical storage idea. Hoping to get a set of markers one of these days - for now I have sharpies but unfortunately they don't make the lighter colors. I live in the Traverse City, MI area - have you ever visited here? Beautiful area. TFS
@crazylovingit1 I haven't been there, but my sweet hubby has and he said the forest is just breathtakingly gorgeous! I think Michigan is lovely nearly anywhere you go. :c) Getting a bit homesick over the holidays.
Great tip - question - where did you order your markers from. I don't have any yet but you have definetly inspired me to look into it now. TFS Laura.
Robin~Such a great idea!! Thanks so much for sharing!! I too am concerned about storing my copics vertically...I only have a little wicker shelf I found at my local Good Will that I am keeping mine in laying flat! But its not so handy ya know if I want to take them into another room or anything like that! : ( I too have to scrap/craft alone due to being so isolated here in the boonies of South Eastern Kentucky! And you are so right about it making the ladies here on YT so special!
@pondbranchpurdy Hi Robyn, one thing about the case is that even if there is concern about horizontal/vertical storage, the case can always be stored on it's side so that the markers lie flat while not in use because of the lid. :c) Thank you so much for your comment, hugs to you in SE Kentucky (such a beautiful area, we've traveled through that area many times!!) All the very best to you in the New Year! ❦, Robyn :c)
@injoystampin ....I am so sorry...I misspelled your name!! And I remember now that you and I had talked before about our names bein spelled the same!! But there are several "Rob-i-y-n's" LOL on here and it can be confusing if you dont stay in touch real often!! But I should have remembered you because of you being in Ireland...I am just so jealous of you.LOL!! Have always wanted to see Ireland, my mothers maiden name was Patrick so cant get much more Irish than that!! Happy New Year to You!! : )
@pondbranchpurdy Awww, no worries Robyn. :c) Hey, how about the 2 Robyns switch places, you come here for a couple of weeks (bring your raincoat, umbrella, and camera) and I'll go to there to the nearest Mike's, Hobby Lobby, JoAnns, Archivers, and Walmart...oh...can't forget Cracker Barrell (my fav). We'll both be happy campers. LOL There really is no place like home, and now I'm really homesick! haha :c) ❦Robyn
Colorful eye candy for sure! Have fun with them. I know that you will come out with some really awesome projects using your markers (no pressure...hehehe!)
Oh that is awesome! I am buying the promarkers this coming month and now I know how I will store them! Thanks for sharing this and I will check out the person you got it from.
Well that is very close...A2 is about 20 mins away from me. Do you know of any groups that get together and swap ideas? I always scrap alone, but would love some company or sharing of ideas.
@atrue14u We've lived in Ireland for several years, so I wouldn't know of anything off-hand, but I do know that over at Splitcoast there was a Michigan Mingle group. They get together (or did) at least once a year. I scrap alone too so I know what you mean. It makes the YouTube community extra special doesn't it? To just share things on here that we've been working on. Such a small world, we always travel I94 up that way when we get a chance to go home. :c)
@lajkitty I was concerned about that as well but so far, with the research I've done the consensus is that only the metallic ones? need to be stored flat. I called Joanna Sheen's company who is very well educated with them and they said she stores them vertical. I'll keep my eyes out for signs of trouble though. Thanks so much
Hi Robyn, I love all your markers I have few of them and few copic I love them too,great fun. I have a question, I herd if you storage the pens standing like you did the pens will bleed the ink out, and the best way is to storage them horizontaly, I'm not sure, What do you think? TFS, a great New Year to you and yours
Hi Robin. Where did you purchase your markers. I did however purchase some Prismacolor markers, but want some other colors. How would you rate your markers?
@MichelleLuvs2Scrap Hi Michelle, I am still new to the Promarkers, but I have to say that I am completely thrilled with them. I like the control that the firm tip gives over the Copics. I purhased them from the Joanna Sheen website (she's extremely reputable over here). I'd put the link, but YouTube won't allow it. You can easily find it in Google though. She offers free worldwide shipping and no minimum order. Prices are listed in Sterling but check out oanda dot com to convert amount.HTH
