        Hello Fellow Artists and Seniors !

        I have a query regarding this particular marker that I have been contemplating to use under my oil painting , right before my Imprimatura .

        I am working on a project where time is a big issue hence I am using a projector for tracing a lot of details to map my sketch on the canvas .

        The description says its PIGMENT BASED INK , ARCHIVAL aswell as WATERPROOF

        I have also read that a lot of markers have a bed rep and tendency to bleed through . but my estimate is that those are ALCOHOL BASED Inks and this is a pigment based ink …

        please also share any experience with SAKURA PIGMA MICRONS too if any

        Please help !

            I draw over my initial drawing with Micron pens every time, with success. I think I may have used the Copics in the past, but not sure. Microns are definitely OK.

            NEVER use a sharpie, though:)

                thankyou !

                Any MICRON or a particular brand ? I m sorry i have never worked with those so i donot know. i know these are the ones with tips similar to felt pens.

                i ve read that its the alcohol markers that cause the bleed up and this particular COPIC LINK says that this is pigment ink .

                might work might not work ! i ll definitely let you know ! thanks !

                    I thought I remembered Copic markers as being alcohol-based, so I looked them up, and yes, it appears they ARE alcohol-based. Sorry. They may be pigment-based instead of dye-based, but that does not mean no alcohol. Not all descriptions tell you that. I am not certain about the exact marker you are asking about, but here’s a few Copic marker links I found:

                    http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/MarkerTechniques.pdf (“Marker Features At a Glance” states, “Four different styles to choose from, all filled with our dynamic Copic alcohol inks.”

                    Also this one: http://www.icopic.com/catalog/all-about-copic
                    And this one: https://www.copicmarker.com/products (look under “Paper”)

                    As for the Sakura Pigma Micron pens such as those in your scrapbooking link, I found they are archival, water-based pigment ink pens with a resin added to make them waterproof. I think they would be much the same as using india ink under your oil paint, which I believe is fine. But I am no expert! Here are two links explaining the Microns:

                    http://www.craypas.com/global/products/markers/water_based_markers/pigma_micron.html,
                    and http://www.sakuraofamerica.com/images/stories/content_documents/pigmatechnologies-4p.pdf

                    I will also say, the Pigma Micron pens do not (to me) have the strong chemical odor I have smelled when opening the Copic markers.
                    Hope this helps!

                        Not sure if this is what you are looking for or will fit your needs – but have enjoyed drawing with these.

                        Be sure to test whichever pen you use before using on an artwork! I assumed a couple pens would work ok and used them on a commissioned painting. I ended up fighting bleed-through through multiple layers of paint! It was a nightmare and I finally had to coat the entire painting with medium (I was working in alkyds and used alkyd medium) and then basically re-paint the whole very complex scene! It was a nightmare! One pen I used that bled-through was Sharpie markers, the other, I thought was a Pigma,just can’t recall for sure, but it was listed as permanent pigment. Anyhoo, do yourself a favor…test first!

                        I just looked up that pen, it was a Stadtler Lumocolor permanent ink pen that bled-through so bad! Here’s a link to the WIP of the painting I had problems with if you are interested;

                            I bought and tested SAKURA MICRONS 14 days back and I am very very pleased with the results !!

                            They work extremely well as are easy to cover with the oil paints . though while using light colors of oil paints require more than one layer .

                            14 days is a less time to test archival so i have made and kept a sample that I will look up next year.

                            I let them dry for atleast 24 hours though they are dry to touch immediately as guided by ALAN .
