 Good ButAug 13, 2008
By Shaggy
My wife is a teacher. She loves loves loves the colors and the design of these markers.
However, they do not last near as long as Sharpies do. She makes a lot of hand done posters for her room. She wanted to use these since they would greatly expand the color choices from the Sharpie staples. But she goes through 2 complete Bic markers until they are used up to fill in the same space 1 Sharpie can do the job in.
They are perfect for scrap booking, drawing, and other light use, but not the heavy duty use some people need.

 Not nearly as good as the SharpieOct 18, 2010
By Pebbles
I purchased Bic permanent markers to replace my worn Sharpies that were a few years old. I only use them to write on my calendar so they do not get abused, and since I color code and have to write small, it is important to me that they work well. I should have spent the extra few dollars and purchased the Sharpie markers. A few of the markers were falling apart (when you opened the cap, the actual marker opened as well exposing the ink well or cushion). After writing with the markers a few times, the point did not stay sharp or write as fine point. Since I have to write small and legibly for all to be able to read in calendar boxes, this is important. Stay with Sharpies. They are a much better product.

I am a designer and use my expensive design markers sparingly, these guys pick up the slack for all the sketch work I do

 Sadly inconsistentFeb 23, 2011
By K. McAllister
I was very hopeful for this marker set, and impressed with its presentation and packaging. It has great fold out packaging, making all colors easily accessible and organized.
That's where my good impression ended.
Perhaps it's because I have, for 20 years, worked with professional artists' mediums, but I am accustomed to consistency and accuracy in color swatching for my inks and paints. The color swatching for these pens is "off", to say the least. Do not trust the lid to equal the shade of the ink in the pen. For some colors, it was quite accurate; for others, not at all (and I was tempted to switch some of the lids to better match the colors inside). If you get these pens, create a test-sheet on pure white paper, so you can have a better color map for the pens.
As I tested each color, I found the consistency of the tips of the pens to be lacking. Some gave me a heavy, thick line, and others a very thin one. Some ebbed and flowed with the ink distribution. (With same angles and pressures applied.) This can be problematic while working on a project.
The ink levels/dryness also varied a LOT. Some pens gave a heavy consistent ink line, while others seemed dry right from the start. Others gave something in between, as the ink levels came and went. The lighter colors seemed to be lacking in ink distribution more than the darker, richer colors, but even that wasn't consistent. Again, if you end up with these, a test-sheet of paper will remind you which colors are heavier in distribution than others.
I ran these pens through the wringer, using them heavily to see how they lasted, and again, the life of each pen seemed to differ greatly from the others (but the dryer beginners did die faster, which I expected). None lasted as long as competitors' brands that I have used.
If you need some pens for a quick, disposable or of lesser-importance project, then these might be a good choice (if they are cheap enough). But if you're looking for quality pens for a project that holds any weight, then there are better choices.
I'm disappointed that I have to write this review as is. I was very hopeful that these would be a quality product. I would not purchase these, except maybe for a child who was doing a quick science fair poster or something along that line.
