Blick Broadline Water-Based Markers

Comments about Blick Broadline Water-Based Markers:

I ordered a class pack of these markers because they cost less than any other brand. The colors are excellent and true. They have the added bonus of being able to produce watercolor effects with just a little water and a brush. The ink distribution is even and true. The only caveat is that these are not washable. Would work well with older students. K-1 would need supervision. Will most likely purchase again.

I facilitate art for adults with special needs at a 5 day/week day program where we have a variety of classes. I love that I can buy a huge classroom pack of these markers and they last our organization for over a year (we serve about 25 individuals daily). I put out several of each color in containers around our building (both in the art studio as well as for other classes) and then just change out markers as they get used up.

They last about as long as other major brand markers, but are cheaper and convenient to buy in the large pack.

I work in the meetings and conference environment. We use thousands of flipchart markers and I have been looking for a new brand to purchase in bulk. I like the ink, the color, and the solid chisel tip. The problem with these markers is that the color is only referenced by the cap. The marker barels are all the same white color. That makes them much harder to identify once the caps are removed. Make the barels the color of the marker (or put an identifying color band on the barel) and we will be able to talk about buying them in bulk.

As an elementary art teacher, I have tried many brands of markers. I thought that these seemed like a great value and had faith in the Blick brand, but was very disappointed in this product. Negative things about these markers:

- There is no indication of the color of the marker on the body of the marker (something I had taken for granted in other brands). Only the cap indicates color. So, caps are continually getting mixed up and it becomes harder and harder for children to find the color they need.

- They run out of ink very quickly.

- The ink does not flow properly even when they are brand new.

- The ink fades quickly. I made a sign using one of these blue markers. It has hung on the wall in my classroom for two months, and now the ink is nearly invisible

My organization goes through hundreds of markers a month.I ordered these thinking it was a great price, but ended up returning them. There was poor flow from these markers making the colors too light and the markers uncomfortable to use. I will not order these again
