the difference between A and B? If this were my first copic marker set, which one would be better (assuming I wouldn't want to keep buying additionals

It would depend on what the purpose of the markers are for, pack B is geared more towards anime/character drawing. there is a large selection of skin tones/hair colours etc. pack A from what I remember has more colour for such things as landscapes etc. I purchased be as I draw anime/gothic style girls. Hope this helps

You will notice a difference, I noticed that the letters ran a little bit using the same paper. It got much better with a nicer quality paper. You can buy a single set of 5 and try. I am only buying this ink now!

Sharpie Accent Retractable Highlighters, Assorted, Fine Point, 8Pack - these I have used and the Ticonderoga but not the Sharpie liquid. The Ticonderoga hands down beat the Sharpie accent.The Ticonderoga did not smear on inkjet copy that was 2 weeks old but the Sharpie still smeared Badly (tho the Sharpie claims that it won't smear on inkjet but it is worse even then your really cheap hi-lite ones).These Ticonderoga went on smear free and Clear - even the purple and orange truly Highlight instead of cover/darken. Easy to read.I bought more of these because I like to copy and highlight my cross stitch patterns and these are the only ones that I trust and can see Clearly what has been highlighted.

There really is not a huge difference you just have more colors to chose from. If your just needing something for a personal collection I would use this. They are the same highly pigmented really long and beautiful. :)

The limited edition markers still use the regular Copic Various Ink refills. The fine nib on these markers can be replaced with any of the nibs meant for the fine nib end of the original Copic (square-bodied) markers. The brush nib is the Super Brush nibs, which is also a standard Copic replacement nib for the Sketch markers.

No. Spectrum Noir markers are square and have a larger diameter than copic sketch markers (which are slimmer and rectangle shaped). I bought these to store my copics (ciao and sketch) and it didn't work because the ciao markers kept falling over. It's a great case but only for copic sketch markers.

No. The limited edition has a fine tip on one end (like an original marker) and the brush end on the other end (like a ciao or sketch marker). Airbrush systems work best with copic sketch markers because they have the chisel tip on one end which inserts into the system. These markers are the right size for airbrushing but don't have the chisel end you need. I really like this limited edition for the fine tip end on some great colors but it's not useful for airbrushing.

Hello, Alicia. Either one will be fine. It just depends on how light you want your highlight to be. The product is amazing and smooth and you only need to use a small amount. It will last you for a long time.

I have not purchased this brand yet, I'm about to. But, I have used the same/similar before. I see a lot of you commenting that the numbers wear off. If you have a standard dose that you use, you can mark where it is with a sharpie before it disappears. That lasts long after the other wears off. Just a suggestion.

As long as they're the same size, there's no difference except how your pen organizes the notebooks. It's best to start with the first set but as long as you don't repeat the numbers you should be fine. If you want to repeat you have to deactivate the old numbers.

I bought this set around 2 months ago and i have been using them a lot with my other sets so far ,none of them run out of ink really depends on your use . I use 3 sets of markers touch marker pen and ciao sketch and this one ..dunno if my reply helps but worth to get it! no complaints for using them!

Entirely my opinion from testing and experience, I like paper with some weight to it such as Bristol,vellum Bristol, watercolor, or for mix media or dry medium. But try any paper your curious to try it on, it might be different for you. How you blend/use the markers is a definite factor. For example, I can use high quality paper but if I don't understand how to blend/use the markers, it'll still come out bad. Hope that helps!

'B' grade has a much stronger flavor and is better for cooking. I use B organic for my sugar in all recipes. 'A' and fancy are great for pancakes and waffles and lighter in color. There are websites that explain this as well.

Been sketching with Flair tips since 1971. Then they had a small white point guard at the writing tip, but the tip still got wider after usage and pressure. The ones I use today don't have that point guard and seem to be harder and keep a point longer but still get wider and softer after usage and pressure. My first time hearing "Hardhead" associated with Flair pens. Sounds like a selling tag. Just my opinion. Black is the only color I've ever used, about one a month.

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.

The Blackwing writes faster and smoother than either of those options. Honestly, I have had bad luck with the Mirado Black Warrior lead being "scratchy" on the paper, and I strongly dislike the Mirado's eraser. I've only ever had one "bad" Black Ticonderoga but it's the one I'm using now. But the Blackwing is still far smoother than the Ticonderoga. It also has a darker line, but it stays sharp just as long. The quality of the finish is also better if that matters to you, with a matte black very sharp paint.

I like them both. I got the Tombow around the end of the year because they were on sale for around $100 for the whole set, a lot of different colors. I really liked them. They are a lot of good colors and have a smaller diameter barrel--just almost like holding a bit thicker pencil. I like experimenting to see what I can do with the different markers as sometimes it is a lot of work to set up to paint when I just want to do a picture now. Prismacolor is a bit thicker barrel but appears to work well too but I only have the smaller sets and am still experimenting. Copic markers are refillable and so are the Spectrum Noir. Copic has good brush makers and you have to purchase brush tips to put into the Spectrum Noir. Out of the four, I still think Tombow is my favorite but unfortunately not refillable. I don't believe Prismacolor is refillable either. I am still experimenting with all of them but at this point this is what I can offer. I hope this helps.
