In the last 10 years they have become the leading markers used by artists and designers in Asia and Europe, and they are now available in the US and Canada. These are professional markers made for the demands of artists and designers in the industry. They have high quality inks that are checked 4 times for accuracy in manufacturing. The pens are refillable and the nibs are replaceable. The high quality construction of the marker has a tight fitting cap and clearly printed identification of color code, The markers fit a special airbrush attachment thus turning the markers into an airbrush, and the markers come in four styles: COPIC, Sketch, Wide and Ciao. Anyone who uses COPIC products quickly feels the quality difference of these markers.
