Prismacolor Premier Dual-Ended Art Markers, Chisel and Fine Tips, Primary Colors, 12 Count - Art Supplies, Alcohol-Based Ink, Coloring, Creative, Artist, Adult Coloring

These markers have vibrant color and each stroke blends with the stroke before! In other words there are no streaks! They are worth the extra money!! As far as bleeding through, it's not a marker issue. They all bleed through, so always place something behind the paper that you're working on to protect the surface or the next page. 🙂

If you are looking to get just the black Prismacolor double-ended markers, then the Cool Grey pack here seems to be the closest thing you're going to find. At least that I know of. Each of the grey markers are slightly different from each other, but the three blacks are the same color black. And so, the only thing that I would call a downside, would be that there aren't any packs that are just nothing but black markers. But that's alright. I suppose I'll live... Lol, besides that though, I don't have any complaints. I went with these Prismacolor markers because I wanted some premium quality markers. And I knew that's what I would get from Prismacolor.

Excellent

The Prismacolor Premier double-ended markers are a solid choice for illustration, manga-style art, and adult coloring. The ink quality is exactly what you’d expect from Prismacolor — smooth, vibrant, and consistent without streaking when used correctly. Having both fine and chisel tips is extremely practical. The fine tip works well for line work, details, and controlled shading, while the chisel tip is great for filling larger areas quickly and evenly. The tips feel durable and don’t fray easily with normal use. Color selection in this set is well curated for manga and illustration styles. The tones layer nicely, blend smoothly, and don’t feel muddy when overlapped. On marker paper or heavier cardstock, bleed-through is minimal and predictable. Pros: • Smooth, consistent ink flow • Vibrant, well-balanced colors • Dual tips add versatility • Good control for detailed work • Reliable Prismacolor quality Cons: • Alcohol-based ink will bleed on thin paper • Caps should be secured tightly to prevent drying Final verdict: If you’re into illustration, manga art, or serious coloring, this set delivers dependable performance and strong color quality. It’s a well-designed marker pack that feels professional and worth the investment.

Nice markers yet the caps are very difficult to remove. Need to use pliers.

Initial first impression is great! This is my first time using any sort of art markers and as someone who isn't fantastic at art, these markers are a great way to not break my bank and work on improving my art skills. The color selection is just a teensy bit selective (PM-1 is way more of a pink then the red my camera makes it look and in my opinion a red would be nice) but I cant really complain for what it is and I love that you get a few good skin tones to choose from (and even more if you blend!). The colors did bleed through 2 of my additional art book pages but that can easily be fixed by putting printer paper or whatever underneath. Blending works nice roo. I took a few colors that matched well together plus a couple total random colors to blend together and well you can see the results in the image. So to sum it all up, I've only used the markers a couple of times so far but am quite pleased with the results. Given the price + variety I would definitely recommend this pack. :)

This is my 3rd set of prismacolors markers. Love them. They are wonderful markers to create with. The ink is……almost silky when laying down. They blend incredibly well together and with other brands. They might sound a bit pricy at about $2 a marker but they are a nice addition to any marker lovers arsenal. They do go on sale a lot and not just on Amazon. I bought my other sets for less than $1 a marker while on sale somewhere else. The biggest thing is they are pretty awesome. After all that, there is one thing that could improve…….. the caps are terribly hard to get off. It doesn’t deter me from buying a set every once in a while.

Very nice professional quality markers. Have yet to test them on blending paper, but they do blend well when used on a the satin finish, such as the box they come in. My only gripe is that the lids are very difficult to take off. Also I wished I had ordered more colors when they were on sale. These are easy to use, but are definitely not for beginners, mostly because of the high price and the large thickness of the pens, making them a bit harder to hold in my small hands. Still they are cheaper than Copic markers and just as nice so I can't complain. I have the brush tips in black as well, which are soft true brush tips, and by far the best brush tips I've used.
