It's been a while since I tried, but in my experience, they are great for small images but kinda blotchy when used to cover big spaces. Now, I didn't try them on watercolor paper or high-quality cs, so I'd love to hear from someone who has. I, too, have a drawer full of them and mainly use them as journaling markers for sb'ing. It'd be great to get more use out of them.

I use them all the time. I had originally bought the Writer ones to write in the scrapbooks but since they have the broader end also I've ended up using them for coloring. The only bummer is that they leave lines of color where I overlap when I color. Did that make sense? I also have several of the brush tip types and that happens less for me. But I like them a lot and use them all the time.

I have used them on tiles to make coasters and they work FANTASTIC!

I have used my Zig markers to color directly on my stamps (solid images). I have only used them to color in smaller images. As others have said they leave an overlap.
