30 Pack Black Permanent Markers

I have used many types of markers over the years for everything from artwork to simple marking on CDs etc. Prior to using these I was a committed fan of Sharpie. While Sharpie maintains a nice crisp line, the flow of ink from the Shuttle Art pens is smoother and richer but not what I'd call "fine point." I find them better for marking CDs because the flow of ink is denser. They also seem to last longer. Sharpies are better for crisp lines and these are better for artwork, making more fluid, versatile lines, as if made by a very fine brush.

Great price and quality as good as sharpie. no strong smell and thin design make it attractive. 100% will buy again. No more sharpie.

these markers a a great price, i use black sharpies all the time, but found these work just as well. they last about as long as a sharpie, they are very dark and easy to write with & have a med point that allows you to write clearly. they do dry out if you keep the cap off too long but will work after putting cap back on & let it sit for a while. its nice to have so many i just throw them out when they are not as good as new. with so many its nice to always have a fresh mark all the time. i keep them everywhere too.

My kid loved it. He loves to draw we go through so much paper and markers he said the were better than sharpies

Great product and fast shipping

I was worried these would be cheap junk, but they work great. The tip is a nice point and makes a very good line. Equal as far as I can tell to "Sharpie" pens.

I just did a comparison video between these, the Amazon Basics (AB), and Sharpies. The AB and Shuttle Art seem similar in construction and ink. The AB tips, however, are very different from both Shuttle Art and Sharpie in tip shape and material. The AB tips are longer, more pointed, and harder. Sharpies are the most rounded, stubby by comparison, and soft. Shuttle Art tips are in between the two but closer to Sharpie. The softer the tip material, the faster the capillary action I would assume and seemed to be the case in my tests. If someone is signing 100 baseballs, Sharpies might be the way to go then as you want the end of the signature to be the same line quality as the beginning as people sign their names fast. I would think the Sharpie pens would run out of ink the fastest if the ink flow is faster as a result. The AB and Shuttle art pens seem to have a slightly flatter ink quality to the Sharpie which has that slight shiny fisheye effect if you build it up in an area. That could result in Sharpie looking a little streakier but the value is also slightly darker than the AB and Shuttle Art ink by, I'm saying, about 2-3%. If you're looking at this brand for these pens then price point is probably a factor. They seem to be changing price every week but are still cheaper than your name brand and, I think, a pretty good value. We're going to use these for a middle school art program where quality counts for sure but so does value as we're on a limited budget. I did a comparison video on youtube if your'e interested in the very non scientific tests.

I am making drawings on a canvas vest. I have been using Sharpies for the lines and Shuttle Art pens for filling in the shapes. Bought some black Shuttle Art pens for making the lines and they do not make a crisp line, rather jagged edges and bleed a bit. I wish I would have just stayed with the Sharpies. They cost more but work better on canvas.
