The Original Chartpak AD Marker, Tri-Nib, Cool Gray 1, 1 Each (P181)

Here's your warning: THESE MARKERS SMELL! Like gasoline or exhaust or any kind of chemical, they contain xylene, so if you wouldn't like a car in the room with you while you're doing your project, either wear a mask or DON'T BUY THESE! But DON'T RUIN IT FOR THE REST OF US! We don't need all the "carcinogen", "nervous system", "toxic", etc, scare tactics, we know exactly what we're buying and choose to buy it anyway! The fact of the matter is alcohol based markers suck! Those sheer a$$ markers can't compare... These markers are the darkest, most saturated, least streaky, have perfect nibs, I have yet to use one COMPLETELY up. And at around $6 ea. that's value! Up until about 5 years ago, I had been searching EVERYWHERE xylene based markers, I couldn't believe it when I found em right here, on Amazon. Ever since then, I've been buying so many markers! Monthly! Lol... Sometimes I wish you could comment back to reviews, I bet you're wishing that right now too, huh? Lol 😂 I don't care if you hate me. Somebody had to say it to these whiners... "Oh I was exposed for 15 seconds, now I can't smell or taste anything..." 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Everything seems to be alright so far.

You know every time you remove the cap which marker you’re using. This is nice and dark black and works as intended.

I use this exact marker a lot for my caricature art and to do large sketches and especially for doing caricatures. It's a nice marker and puts down a great amount of dark black ink when needed.

Best on the market

One of the markers was half dried out but other than that they are fantastic markers and will serve my use for them as a caricature artist well! 😁👍

I was sooo disappointed in this purchase! I bought these for a long wedding gig out of town and was shocked when I started drawing my first subject, the nib wilted like a dull blunt brush tip! I quickly grabbed another thinking it'd be better, it was even worse! Thankfully I had another back up marker to complete my gig! I have used ad marker fine tip HARD NIBS FOR OVER A DECADE, THESE ARE NOT AUTHENTIC. The nibs aren't the firm NORMAL feel of what ad markers fine tips are, they're too soft and giving. I don't know how else to describe it but those who know, KNOW. Also my drawing partner whom I gave two of these markers to, ALSO had to resort to alternate markers! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT

The smell isn't that bad, the pen lasts a long time when you need to make banners, floats, and posters for high school. So far, one pen has survived designing a freshman class float, several posters and banners and is still going strong. Its tip shape makes various size lines so it is very versatile.

I bought for twice. Unfortunately I don't see the point coz in all paper sheet I use it the ink spread coz it has a lot alcohol on it and the dark black turn less black ones is dried. Maybe it can work to fill in black some areas on the sketch. With thin paper the ink it will transfer to the page behind.

Cumple con su función, excelente marca!

Super marker per calligrafie , un po’ costoso

Llego en perfecto estado

Estoy enamorada de estos plumones, son muy buenos para hacer difuminados. La punta flexible es muy cómoda, inclusive después de adquirir éstos compré de la misma línea pero en colores.
