I recently decided to purchase these markers because I wanted to be able to use a set in addition to my Ohuhu markers, but wanted something that had a wider and more varying range of colors. I also wanted to get another set of alcohol markers that were great but didn't cost me a whole lot of money, as I only use these markers to color in my free time. Although I have not had these markers for very long, I cannot stress enough how happy I am with my purchase! This Caliart set has a very nice range of colors, including a lot of skin tones, which my Ohuhu marker set barely has. Whereas my Ohuhu marker set is very bright and vibrant, which I do like and want for some of my coloring pages, the Caliart markers seem to be a bit softer, and so I'm able to get more realistic and natural tones with them. I did have a few issues at the beginning with these markers running a little bit streaky, but after some use, I have found that the streaking has decreased significantly. These markers also blend very well, dare I say a little easier to than with my Ohuhu markers. Although some colors are similar between my Ohuhu set and this set, I have noticed that the Ohuhu's tend to run darker, or are missing colors that my Caliart set has, so they balance one another quite well!
So, if you're trying to decide between the crazy number of alcohol markers that are out there, I would definitely recommend this Caliart set either as your first set or to use in addition to any marker collection. I think for the number of markers that you're getting for such a cheap price point, you're definitely getting your money's worth, if not a little more!
Also, I do want to note that out of the 100 set, I did have one marker that arrived with a fair amount of ink leaked out into the cap. Although the marker was still surprisingly inky and worked fairly well, I decided to reach out to the company to see if I could get a replacement for that one marker. It's hard with sets like these sometimes as usually they have to send out the markers in bulk again in order for someone to get one marker replaced, but Caliart responded to me very quickly and are sending that one color out as a replacement! Very happy with their customer service and am excited to continue to use these markers!
