I've tried every color except the pale orange, yellow ochre, and olive green.

These are great little markers, with a fairly large chisel tip in comparison to the size of the body. The nib is similar in size to a UNI PX-30, but the texture of the tip is close to the Pilot jumbo. They aren't fine points, but can still find good use on slaps and in blackbooks. On paper, they can blend pretty well due to their slower drying time, which is caused by the xylene ink base. The downside to this is that the ink can spread outward from where it is applied, making it less precise if applied heavily.

I find them a little awkard to hold, but they're also very cutty and easy to conceal.

The black is fairly fade resistant, but the other colors unfortunately are not. This is pretty much universal to dye inks, they all fade in the sun fairly quickly. I think they do better than OTR flowpen ink, though.

These markers are typical of Xylene based markers and inks in that they are smelly. You definitely want to have some ventilation when using them.

5/5, these are a great product, and while I have some criticisms, I find myself using them all the time. Definitely a must try.  5 of 5 Stars!
