I actually own both and I have to say, I like these pens much better for doing quicker, more rough sketches but they do tend to bleed a bit when I color over them with my Copic sketch markers. The Copic Multiliners are wonderful in the sense of having both refillable ink as well as replaceable nibs (tips), however the tips do not feel as durable and strong as the F.C. pens. I'm worried about bending or breaking the tips on them. Another issue is that they have a bit more of a "rough" feeling on paper, whereas the F.C.'s are much smoother and forgiving. I tend to use the Copic pens to finish and do details. FYI : With my Copic pens I use the sizes : 0.005, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7. With the Faber Castell pens I use the S (super fine) and F (fine) sizes. I was mainly referring to the 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 size Copics in my comparison above.

The markers have erasers as their caps. You can also use a napkin or paper towel.

I do not know what Promarkers are but I ordered this and sent it back. I then ordered a different kind of case which hold up to 72 alcohol ink markers. I did not like the Copic Markers compared to the new Blendabilites from Stampin' Up!. I went to work with SU last Oct. and love their products. I now own the new colors and more will be available soon to buy. If you want any more information contact me again.

The paper is very thick. A standard ballpoint pen will not suffice to mark them. A sharpie / marker will not go through them. The paper is of very high quality, but will require a fountain pen or a robust ballpoint to write in it.Hope this helps.

I have both. This notebook (the Markings) used to be a great deal; I payed $6 and some change for mine several months ago. However, now that the price has doubled (and is more expensive than the comparable Moleskine), there is only one reason one would buy the Markings journal over its Italian counterpart: capacity. While the Moleskine has only 192 pages, the Markings has 240. But, while it has more paper, Markings' paper quality control is a crapshoot. I use fountain pens, and this is an issue. My brown Markings journals perform very poorly with my pens (lots of skipping and flow issues), but my black one is better; not on par with Moleskine, but close. If you use pencils, then this probably won't be an issue for you. Overall, it's clear the degree of quality Moleskine holds itself to far surpasses Markings'. When I use my Markings, I feel like I'm using a sub-par product. When I use my Moleskine, I feel like I'm using a refined and purposeful product. Try this brand if you want, but I personally would rather pay less money for a Moleskine and get a much better chance at quality paper; even if there's less of it.

I mostly use parchment or rice paper I find at cake decorating store. I have also used tracing paper, normal copier paper, loose leaf paper found at many places from the Dollar store to office supply shops.

It comes with everything you need to make crayons markers. If you are using them professionally and want better ink though, you can look into copic refill packs or find high quality food coloring as a good alternative.

Yes, Ciao and Sketch Copic markers are the same as far as tips go. The difference between them is that the Ciao/ while being pretty much the same as the Sketch ones/ just come in about 50 less colors, give or take a few. I never counted them to be sure. They also hold a little less ink then the Sketch. But otherwise they are the same.

Yes! Sharpie markers that are permanent, alcohol based ink pads for stamps, and colored pencil work. I recommend doing a test first with the brand you have, since the color will be much more rich and concentrated once it shrinks. I push hard and make sure to color in the area completely.

I would go with Staedtler. I've have tried everything on the market, and Staedtler is the best. The tips hold up very well, and there is no bleeding on any of the papers I use. I just love them.

Tombows work good on Canson XL Media journals, 98 lb. Any watercolor paper works good too.

When I write in my planners I always use a pencil since things are constantly changing for me. I have used a highlighter to mark off days that are over and haven't had any problems with bleed through.

Hi, I'm not sure who you were trying to purchase this set of markers from, but any dealer in North America is not allowed to ship Copic products outside of North America. If you do an online search for "Copic", you should be able to see a directory of sellers who are allowed to ship to Australia. Hope this helps and feel free to contact us, Illusions Illuminated, Inc. with any other questions you may have.

I've used mine for that and it works okay, but I think that (despite the cost of special paper) the LiveScribe series does notes better. The inkling is better for sketching/drawing as the potential for a vector output is there.

I bought them for writing on Black paper and they worked beautifully. I have a black paper journal. They would work great on black cards as well.

I have both and they are equally good. The main positive for the Copic are the brush nibs. But you can buy brush nibs for the Spectrum Noir. Spectrum Noir is an excellent marker.
