Prismacolour markers?

Hi, does anyone have any feedback about these markers? I have used the pencils but just received the markers and was not sure how they should be utilized. Thanks so much.

I have a few. I used to have more, but I got sidetracked with Spectrum Noir markers for a bit and didn't replace them as they dried out... You use them like any other alcohol marker (Copic, Spectrum Noir, Bic). I love them, but they're a bit spendy for me right now (hence the Spectrums and Bics, lol). Any YouTube videos that you see using any of the alcohol markers would show you how to use the Prismas, pretty much.

Thanks so much. I was in Costco today and found a package of 6 primary colors bullet tip and six fine tip. As well 24 prismacolor pencils, an eraser and a stadtler ( sp?) pencil sharpener all for $ 20 Cdn! I grabbed it because I know what I paid for the few individual pencils I already had. Thought too good a price to pass up. While I already have a Stadtler pencil sharpener I bought at an artist supply, I knew I could never go wrong with another sharpener made for coloured pencils...which I learned the hard way.

Thanks again,I will take your advice on the videos.

Wow! I think you got the bargain the the year! That's a lot of stuff for little money. I have a small set of Prismacolor markers that I bought on ebay when I first started making cards. Like Sue said, they do perform pretty much like the other alcohol markers. The particular set I got seemed to have mostly really bright colors, and I haven't used them as much as my Spectrum Noirs.
