Markers are still quite the rage in crafting, but it seems like the field is dominated by alcohol-based markers. However, let’s not underestimate the value of a good-old water based marker in you craft box. To whit, today I’m reviewing Aqua Markers from Letraset in UK. Like their ProMarkers (the alcohol-based version) they have two nibs on either end of the marker, so you get “two-fer.”
Here’s how the markers are described on the Letraset website:
AquaMarkers use water based pigmented inks. These have the advantage of being water soluble – they can be easily blended, even when dried, giving the effects of water-colour paint but with the convenience of a marker. Pigmented ink is acid free and light fast giving excellent colour longevity. Aqua ProMarkers feature a unique brush shaped nib at one end, enabling a soft-edged application of colour.
