I should have heeded the others' advice....
I don't generally leave product reviews. These made me change my habit. I was very excited to get these markers. There were a lot of good reviews for these regarding the adult coloring books. I did read a few negative reviews, but in my experience, trying the product despite the negative usually ends up in a positive experience. There are just some people that are impossible to please. I try to keep that in mind while reading the negative. This was not the case with these markers. These markers bleed. Badly. I didn't have such a hard time with it bleeding through my pages, but bleeding through the lines. Wow. How disappointing. I wanted my lines to be finished on my pages. This is not possible with these markers. I even made sure I colored inside some of the lines (thinking it could be my hand shaking outside the lines). It definitely did not help. I feel the other unhappy consumers are correct in assuming these markers are overfilled and when you overfill a water based ink, you get marker hemorrhaging all over your beautiful picture that you are trying so hard to make perfect. This turns your meditative coloring session into a rage induced nightmare. I know I'm exaggerating, but I can't help it. It really ticked me off. If you are using these for coloring pages that don't have hardly any intricate detail, go ahead and get these. But if your book has a lot of small little details to color, go with a little more expensive ultra fine tipped marker. It is definitely worth it.
