These markers were a great buy for my son's "Required School Supply" List that has tons of items that are "required", but are never used. The simplest way to describe these markers is that they work and write the same way a fine-point Sharpie works....but without the bleeding or the price-hike on "Sharpie Colors". These mark deeply and with strong saturation....but aren't QUITE as saturated as a Sharpie Color set. Since those sets are about triple the price (and unnecessary for school use which is *literally* just "marking things") these are the perfect "in-between" set. You wouldn't use them for coloring large things like a coloring book page....but they are perfectly acceptable to color portions of a Poster Board or School Project that requires solid and deep colors similar to Sharpie....but doesn't require permanent marking on actual cardboard or a similar item. If you were drawing up a sign to Protest something on Cardboard....these would be best as "detail" markers. But if you're using posterboard, thick construction paper, styrofoam designs, regular paper, or smaller projects and/or "markings" for school, work, or art....these are less hardcore (for lack of better word) than a pack of Sharpie Colors. They're the "medium-high" performance to Sharpie's "heavy-duty". And they're priced accordingly with a vibrant pack of colors that don't run dry, don't bleed, and write very smoothly as well as use for artistic detail or even Calligraphy. These were a great alternative to "kiddie" markers that dry up fast and cannot handle larger, older-kid's projects without the unnecessary cost and heavy-duty abilities of a Sharpie Set.
These were a great find and BIC made them the perfect "in-between" set for kids and adults alike. I'm very pleased with the performance, price, and versatility of this set and will be definitely keeping them on my list for next year when the school asks me to buy a whole new set of markers all over again just in case kids use them *sigh*. Great Value!
