These markers are amazing! I first purchased them at a local retail store in December 2018 as I needed to start keeping record of what I was feeding my cat, and have used them four to six times daily since then. I finally realized I needed new ones because the purple started to get very faded. I couldn't remember where I first purchased them, so I was so happy I found them on Amazon. (I only recently went back to the local store and saw them there).
Not only have these markers lasted me 2.5 years, the tips didn't 'mush' after such long use. The new ones I bought were only slightly thinner than the old ones.
When I first bought the new ones I was worried because the purple appeared to be dried out, but I put it on the refrigerator with the tip side facing down, so the ink would run into it. After about a week of just letting it sit there, it was perfect. I keep my markers this way and the colors are vibrant and wonderful.
One thing to note, is that the purple & blue colors have stained the dry erase board I use if the colors are left on too long. The orange, pink & green did to, but only a little bit. I change my board every 5 days and I need to use a wet paper towel to clean the blue & purple, where I can still use the erasers for the orange, pink & green. However, I do need to use a wet paper towel about once a month to remove the buildup. The staining could also be due to the age & type of board because I have also had that for 2.5 years. I have a calendar which is about 1.5 years old and that has NOT stained.
If I had to change anything... it would be to make more colors and maybe the tips just a little thinner. I love the durability of these markers and the vibrancy of the colors, so overall, definitely 5 stars worthy!
