Colour markers enquiry
Mar. 20th, 2010 08:14 amBeen looking in particular at and for stuff with 0.3 or 0.4 nibs and having a little bit of good luck via Marvy Uchida's la Plume II line at Michael's stores, and at deSerres as well with their house brand here in Ottawa.
Wondering if anyone else is making and selling such markers, and what results you've been having with them...?

Pens and Ink Colours
Dec. 13th, 2007 11:36 pmSomething that came back to mind lately is the issue of pens, ink colours and nib widths.
I've been fiddling with Staedtler Triplus Fineliners and Mars Graphic 3000 Duos, Faber-Castell Pitt Pens, Laurentian Fine Line Markers, Deleter Neo-Pikos, Prismacolor Premier Fine Line and "regular" dual-nib markers, Copic Multiliners, Sharpie Ultra-Fines, Sakura Pigma Microns and Letraset Trias. All in pursuit of doing work of some sort in colour, paid or hobbyist...well, it doesn't really matter to me. I suppose if I were at the stage where I had an accountant going full-time on this stuff, it might.
Not yet, though. But I digress.
I bought two Pitt Pens today, both with the brush nib:
132 Light Flesh
131 Medium Flesh
What I'd like to get is the same ink colours as described above by Faber-Castell, whatever name the manufacturer that solves this request calls'em, inside of regular detail-work-designed markers: nib width of 0.3 thru 0.05, preferably.
I've got a fair portion of the rest of the human fleshtone range already covered with burgundy(Micron Pigma), Brown(Micron Pigma, Prismacolor Premier Fine Line) and Sepia(Prismacolor), and Orange(Prismacolor and Pigma again) as well. All available in those nib widths. Now for these two as well, please?
