I freaking love these markers. I bought them online a while back and fell in love with them. And a Jo-Ann Fabrics in my town sells them! They're fairly cheap(ish) and they're really fun to color with

I'm not usually a nitpicker on YouTube, but these five reasons that I "Need Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers" could have easily applied to Copics and the Korean clone of Copics - the Touch Markers as well. Exclude the refillable marker schtick - and you can also add Prismacolor, Chartpak AdMarkers, Blick Markers, Oahu, Master, etc... etc....

I think what would have been best to note about the positive aspects of Spectrum Noir markers that makes them unique amongst other alcohol markers is:

1) *Their price* - They are much cheaper than Copics - compare 6 copic markers at $5.24/marker and a 24-ct of Spectrum Noirs. They both range about $31+ on Blick ... however with Copics you get less markers for your money.
2) *Their inks* - The ink color is actually very rich, juicy, and refillable
3) *Their shape* - Although SN markers have a thick barrel, they are very ergonomic, comfortable on the hand, and do not roll easily off the table.
4) *Their color selection* - Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers come in 4 - 24 count packs of colors, plus 12 - 6 count packs of themed color in-betweens. This is a moderate-range selection of colors, especially for people looking to begin with a higher quality alcohol marker at a much better price range.
5) *Their availability* - Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers are almost always available everywhere. I've never seen them sold out anywhere. Unlike Copics who have a constant-backordered-waiting list for the sets, and are often sold out of several individual marker colors indefinitely. However... SN refill inks are another story...

In all other ways there are problems with this list for prospective buyers comparing alcohol markers here on YouTube.
Spectrum Noir caps do NOT match their colors -- not even a little bit - and are highly misleading (make a chart first).
Spectrum Noir markers tend to fall apart easily - press in on caps tightly before attempting to open them.
And those refillable inks that I mentioned earlier? Good luck finding them anywhere. They are backordered all over the web, except at extortion prices on Amazon & eBay.

I have noirs and copics, but copics are way worth the expense

Thank god the range is opening in morrisons so I can get these lazily

So... they're like any other alcohol marker?

Also maybe mark this as advertisment of some sort, because that's what this is? Because this doesn't tell me anything interesting about these markers. It's like an infomercial.

Apparently they're worse then the only slightly more expensive ones (what I can gather watching the tutorials on the official channel, as I can't get them here), also they're not easily available where I live so nope.
I'd rather spend a bit more and have a better product.

but no brush if you want brush it more expensive than copics, just go with copics
