Quality and Performance

Pros:

  • "Love love love this brand as it never disappoints and you get the bang for your buck."
  • "The colours are bright, rich and they don't bleed."
  • "These paint markers are super opaque and vivid."
  • "They do not bleed and hold up well to being sprayed with sealer."
  • "These acrylic paint markers are great. The colours go on very smooth and solid colour, no bleeding, and you can even cover over other colours."
  • "The colors flow smoothly and are very vibrant, but they can be messy if you are not careful."
  • "One of the standout features of Posca Paint Markers is their vibrant colors and smooth application."

Cons:

  • "love these pens but I get disappointed when the nibs wear out quickly."
  • "It will take everything forever to dry because of the amount of ink that escapes."
  • "Some of the colours (brown, peach) are not pigmented at all."
  • "I was disappointed. 8 of the 15 markers were unusable and dry."
  • "The only slight annoyance is that little bits come off the felt part of the pen, but you can wipe them off."
  • "When priming the pens the paint flows out so fast it makes a large puddle."
  • "The only negative is I pencil my artwork first and some of the lighter colors don't cover pencil well."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Great price for the item."
  • "Shipped right away with no troubles and you can't beat the price."
  • "Worth the money and I’ll probably end up buying them again at some point."
  • "I like the value for the money."
  • "Fantastic value as well, each pen is $6+ at my local art supply store!"
  • "This is a great value compared to what you'd pay at the craft store."
  • "I love the variety of colors that comes in the set and the pack is a great value for the money."

Cons:

  • "I know these are usually a pretty expensive product, but let me tell you that it is truly worth the money."
  • "I think the price has gone up since last year so I almost didn’t want to buy these pens."
  • "I don't understand why the markers are now $71, since when I bought them in May 2019 they were $38."
  • "I took 1 star off because shipping took well over a month."
  • "They feel a bit pricey at first, but they last so long."
  • "These pens are great, some (like green and blue) needed a couple of coats due to transparency so not the best value, hence, priced too high..."
  • "I think they are a bit overpriced."

Usage and Application

Pros:

  • "They are very versatile. They also have a great array of bright colors too."
  • "Works well on all surfaces, especially canvas."
  • "Best paint pens I have ever use, well worth the money."
  • "They are cool pens and you can literally write on any surface."
  • "Every artist needs to have these pens because they will draw on any material and still have the same vibrant color on every surface."
  • "They only take one coat to cover almost any surface, and they even work great on slick plastic surfaces."
  • "These perfect little paint pens allow your creativity to flow on all surfaces imaginable."

Cons:

  • "Only drawback is it takes a lot of shaking to work paint down to the tip."
  • "Made for use on sturdy no textured paper creates a lot of pilling/ pulls up the paper, very nice colors, a little too vibrantπŸ˜…."
  • "You see the pen marks and they don't cover well on contrasting background (e.g. white on black) so you need multiple coats."
  • "Only Draw back the lighter colours don't really show especially the white wish the tips were broader."
  • "However, yesterday I used the white one for the first time and the tip suddenly disappeared when I tried to 'pump' the paint into the tip."
  • "The only problem is the black ran out of ink very fast."
  • "Some (like green and blue) needed a couple of coats due to transparency so not the best value."
