Product Info Tip of the Week 5/16/12 - Extending the Life of Your Copic Markers

[Blick Art Materials]

Extending the Life of Your Copic Markers

Don’t throw away those Copic Markers! When you start to see streaking, just refill them. Copic Various Ink Refills can be used to refill any type of Copic Marker. A single bottle of Copic Various Ink refills a Ciao marker 13 times, a Sketch marker 8–10 times, a Copic original marker 7–9 times, and a Wide marker 5–6 times. The Various Ink refills contain the same high-quality, alcohol based ink that you have come to expect from the Copic brand.

Is the nib on your Copic Marker getting a bit worn? It still isn’t time to throw it away! Standard Replacement Nibs are available for all styles of Copic Markers. If you would just like to try something a little different, replacement nibs for the original Copic Markers also come in a broad range of styles other than the standard nibs, including superfine and calligraphy nibs. This gives you a broader range of options, without having to buy a new set of markers. Nibs come in packages of 2, 3, 5 or 10, depending on the size and style.

Fun Fact

Copic Markers are environmentally friendly. Not only are they refillable, which means less waste, but the refill bottles are also recyclable!
