I picked up my first set of Prismacolor Pens about six months ago and haven't had too many complaints.

Most importantly, they DO NOT bleed! The ink is a gorgeous, rich black that hasn't faded on me yet, and has taken to my Bristol Vellum Drawing Pad Strathmore Bristol Vellum 9 Inch X12 Inch Pad amazingly!

They lasted a good long while, however I have changed brands to find a more durable pen for the following reasons:

The nib (the end of the pen that delivers the ink to your drawing) on the .005 pen split, and threatened to ruin some of my pieces unexpectedly, and Prismacolor doesn't offer replacement nibs like their competition, Copic, does.

Drawing for a living, this isn't just an inconvenienceit's a possible lost sale due to having to redo an entire piece, and losing a day in the process!

Not to mention it's just heartbreaking to work so long on a piece to have it ruined by one silly problem.

The .05 ran out of ink somewhere between 6 and 10 fully-inked drawings. This wouldn't have been a complaint had I inked hugely on the drawingsbut I just outlined characters in preparation to scan and color them.

The Brush, Calligraphy, and .005 pens all still have ink despite my .05 no longer working. Very disappointed.

If you're looking for a pretty good set of pens, check them out. Prismacolor IS a good brand, despite the issues I've had, and these pens have seen me through the last half year easily with very few complaints!

If you're worried about the quality of the pens, or the fact that no replacement parts are offered (and therefore you'll have to buy fully new pens as they encounter normal wear and tear), then check out these Copic Multiliners Copic Multiliner Inking Pens Set A-2 which DO have replacement parts (such as the nibs).

Their price is comparable, and I've heard nothing but praise for the Copic brand!

Happy inking!

This is a very nice set of pens. The pens flow well and the variety of sizes gave me a nice range to work with. However, the ink seems lighter than a lot of the other pens that I use. For example the Sakura Micron.005 used side by side with the .005 pen from this set was noticeably darker ( used on the same paper). The difference was not a problem for me... I like the almost washy look it has,it seems very natural... but ... I wanted to mention it here because the lighter ink might not be for everyone.

All in all I am happy with this set.

I have to admit these are great markers. I use them to produce pointillisms. I could tell by the end of my second pointillism the .005 was running low. I did notice that if I let the marker sit tip side down in a pencil holder with the cap on the ink came back to life. But I do I suggest either trying to find another brand that can stand up to long use or buying a few .005 markers so that if you're in the middle of a piece you can easily change over to a "fresh" marker.

Just what I expected, I've bought these before. It's not faber castell but it's better than sharpie. I hope they last. The shipping was really fast too.
