Top Quality

We want to provide the highest quality markers possible. Every Copic marker is carefully inspected before leaving the factory in Japan. They come with top-quality tips, and the alcohol-based ink ensures smooth, even color application. Special attention has been given to the caps, which are designed to be airtight to ensure the markers don’t dry out when not in use.

 


 

 

Color Consistency


Color consistency is part of the strict quality protocol, meaning you can rely on your color combination—it will always stay the same.

Flexibility When You Need It

The versatile brush tip of the Sketch marker lets you create various strokes and control the flow of ink, allowing you to achieve different effects. It works great for blending colors and creating tones, especially useful for shading and bringing 3D elements into your work.
