A quick enough marker guide [sorry, no images right now]
Now, I'm an avid marker user and collector; Chartpak AD, Neopiko, Promarker, Copic, TRIA, Touch!, Chafford, Prismacolor- I've tried most of 'em and have developed quite an opinionated stance on them and the brand-loyalty attached to them, so please allow me to let off some steam by giving a simple review of each brand I've tried.
( Or 'How I learned to stop listening to morons and started loving the Pantone bomb'. )
Thank you! I've been wondering about the difference between Ciao and Sketch for a while now. Cheers for clearing that up for me!
As for Trias, I know right? Promarkers recently got a colourchart upgrade which matches with Letraset's new colour system, but yeah- Tria have tonnes more colours to choose from. The expense, as you've mentioned, is very high though. It's pushing 70 euro for a 12 set which is seriously frightening. All I'll say with the Tria is to be careful of their caps! After using them make sure you get a 'click' sound when you put their caps back on to ensure that they're air-tight. A dry Tria is a very sad thing. If they arrive dry you can return them to Letraset for a new set I believe! [There was a scandal right when Tria were given a redesign that meant due to a design flaw their ink didn't flow properly, but that's since been fixed so you shouldn't have any problem.]
Enjoy your markers, and consequently your crying wallet! :p
