Marker Pen Nib Replacements?

[peebsmama]

I bought my SU markers about 4 years ago. I love them and use them all the time. I've always been happy that they can be refilled with the reinkers and I have done that frequently with several colors. But now I have some that I have used so often that I have actually worn down the marker brush end and they aren't giving quite as nice a result as they once did. I know I can buy new pens. And it's not like I haven't gotten my money's worth out of these. But I wondered if there were blank replacement nibs available somewhere so that I could replace just the part that's worn out and not the whole pen. Does anyone know of such a thing?

I didn't know you could reink them. How? That is so neat.

I've been looking for new tips for years and can't find them - the old tips lasted so much longer than the new. I'm hoping someone has a solution....

I saw some made for Copics. They look similar, but I can't tell from the tiny photos that I have seen whether they are the same size and made of the same stuff as the SU. And the price at $6 for 3 nibs plus shipping makes it as expensive as just buying new pens. I just hate being wasteful and throwing out a whole pen when only the nib is worn.

I haven't seen any place to buy the tips, but if I were in your situation, I would probably just by a replacement marker as needed. It kinda stinks though. Maybe you could call Stampin' UP and see if they offer replacement tips.

Check out this site called Tips 4 Markers.

They sell replacement tips for Stampin' Up! markers and they are great!
Just be sure & refill your marker with ink before you use your new tip. (Being too dry was probably what ruined it in the first place.)
