Shuttle Art Duplicates Coloring Markers Reviews Summary

Ink Flow and Quality

Pros:

• "Every one I've used has colored very smoothly."
• "Ink is just the right thickness/darkness that you don't have to go back over it to saturate the picture."
• "The ink flows so easily, unlike other pens I've purchased which needed a forceful shakedown every time to get ink flowing."
• "The ink doesn’t smear or bleed, the pen ball is very smooth and the ink flows so nicely, and the color is very bright and vivid."
• "The ink writes smooth and bright."
• "The ink flows very well, colors are vivid, pens have very little drag and dry fast."
• "The ink flow is wonderful and no ink skipping."

Cons:

• "After using, or trying to use these, I've found about 1/2 don't work at all."
• "When you start to color many stop releasing ink and you have to bang the tip on a piece of paper."
• "I noticed that some of the gel pens are using more ink than the rest of set as I have a small handful that are already almost empty."
• "Every one I try to use the ink doesn't come out. And when I finally do get it to work for a moment, bam stops working again."
• "Some of the gel pens didn’t have very good ink flow and some did not flow at all."
• "Most of the pens don’t write more than a few lines before the ink stops flowing."
• "The ink had trouble coming out on every pen I've used."

Color Selection and Variety

Pros:

• "The colors of these pens are perfect!"
• "The color selection was absolutely stunning."
• "The colors are vibrant and beautiful. I have not noticed any skipping or scratching as I color with these."
• "The colors are vibrant and there are no repeated colors just variations of."
• "These have a variety of amazing colors."
• "The metallics and the glitter pens are awesome and show up really well on dark backgrounds."
• "The color variety is incredible, with a wide range of vibrant and beautiful shades."

Cons:

• "There are DEFINITELY duplicate colors in this pack."
• "There wasn't supposed to be any duplicate colors and I definitely got duplicates of the same color."
• "So many color choices and no duplicates too."
• "Earth tones- not many."
• "While there are 120 unique colors, many of them are pastels or metallics."
• "However, I found some of them didn't write at all and many of them are really thin looking."
• "Even though they said no duplicates I did in fact get multiples of the same color."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "FOR THE PRICE, which is ridiculously low (roughly $0.18 per pen), these are an excellent purchase."
• "Great price too! Thank you for making a product that works and is a good price too."
• "For the price, this was a sound purchase."
• "Considering the amazing price of just over a nickel per pen, this was an amazing purchase."
• "You just can’t beat the price of these either. A gellie roll gel pen is about $2-3 each. That is an average price for high end gel pens."
• "Great value, the pens are obviously not meant to last forever but for the price point its more than worth it to buy another set if you run out of your favorite colors!"
• "A definite value for the money."

Cons:

• "You definitely get what you pay for."
• "Definitely get what you pay for I suppose. I was real excited and thought I was getting a great deal but colored one picture and the pen is pretty much empty already and it wasn't even a big picture!"
• "I would have never paid this much for 30 pens. Very disappointed."
• "They're not at all comfortable to grip... basically they're the same design as those cheap Bic pens that are made of clear plastic."
• "They smear super easy and aren’t smooth like I had hoped."
• "A waste of money and time."
• "Do not waste your money on these pens, total garbage!!!!!"
