FAQs

How many shades of grey are included in this set?

This set includes 11 shades of neutral grey (N0, N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, N6, N7, N8, N9, N10) plus one special black (110).

Are these markers refillable?

Yes, all Copic Classic markers are refillable with Copic Ink. Each marker can typically be refilled up to five times.

Can the marker tips be replaced?

Yes, both the fine tip and the chisel tip are replaceable. This allows for extended use of the markers.

What is the best type of paper to use with these markers?

For best results and to minimize bleeding, use paper specifically designed for alcohol-based markers, such as Copic's own marker paper or similar professional-grade art papers.

How do I store my Copic markers?

It is recommended to store Copic markers horizontally on a flat surface to ensure even ink distribution and prevent drying out.

What is the difference between the chisel tip and the fine tip?

The chisel tip is broader and ideal for covering larger areas with smooth, streak-free color, while the fine tip is designed for precise details, outlines, and small marks.

Can I mix Copic inks to create custom colors?

Yes, you can mix Copic inks in an empty ink bottle or directly on the surface by layering and blending different marker colors.

Troubleshooting

Marker appears dry or faint

Ensure the cap was fully sealed. The marker may need refilling; follow the refilling instructions. If the nib is dry, it might need to soak longer after refilling.

Ink bleeding excessively through paper

Use thicker, marker-specific paper designed to handle alcohol-based inks. Ensure you are not over-saturating the paper with ink.

Streaks visible after coloring

Allow the ink to dry completely before layering. Use smoother, more consistent strokes with the chisel tip, or blend immediately with a lighter marker or colorless blender.

Nib is damaged or worn

Replace the nib with a genuine Copic replacement nib. Instructions for replacement are available from Copic or in detailed guides.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional blendability and smooth color transitions.
  • Durable and long-lasting due to refillable ink and replaceable nibs.
  • Provides a focused and versatile range of neutral grey tones for professional work.
  • Consistent color output thanks to precise manufacturing.
  • Suitable for a wide range of artistic applications, from illustration to design rendering.

Cons

  • Alcohol-based ink can bleed through certain paper types if not properly managed.
  • Initial cost can be higher compared to other marker brands.
  • Requires specific refill ink and replacement nibs, adding to ongoing costs.
  • The chisel tip, while versatile, may not offer the same flexibility as a brush tip for certain styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The markers are ready to use straight out of the packaging. Ensure caps are securely replaced after each use to prevent ink from drying out.

Compatibility: Copic Classic markers are compatible with Copic Airbrush sets, allowing for expanded creative possibilities. They work best on specialized marker paper designed to minimize bleeding and feathering. The alcohol-based ink is also suitable for use with Copic's specialized colorless blenders for advanced techniques.

Care:

  1. Storage: Store markers horizontally to ensure even ink flow to both tips.
  2. Refilling: To refill, remove both caps, gently pull out the chisel nib, and insert the Copic Ink refill nozzle into the barrel opening. Fill until the ink saturates the padding inside the marker body. Reinsert the nib and allow a few minutes for the ink to fully saturate it before use.
  3. Nibs: If a tip becomes worn or damaged, it can be carefully pulled out and replaced with a new Copic nib.
  4. Cleaning: Wipe the marker body and caps with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents that could damage the plastic.
