I use Tria and Primacolor, they blend great! Most designers I know use Prismacolor for thier rendering, like any pen, they dry out, if they sit around or use them too much, there are time where the nip get flat, I usually cut it with my xacto to sharpen the line. I also use brush pens, they sortaa fell like a brush and get a little getting use to. Rick

Hiya Troy, I use them for touching up and edge detailing digi-prints. Ya, I got a few dry ones kicking around, but Like Rick mentioned, you gotta take care of them. Fortunately, they come in enough colors where I don't have to blend them, so I can't really comment there.
Havin' fun, Checkers

Don't use 'm as much as I used to but what I have have been around for some time & most are still good. I know they're at least 7 yrs old. I keep 'm in a box (laying horizontal) & all the caps are still on 'm. Eventually any marker will run out of ink if used a lot.
Most markers, including Prismacolors, will show an overlap mark. Use the clear blending marker for that. You might want to use analogous color shades when blending.
The only time I've noticed puddling is when they're used in my plotter; when creating paper renderings where that's not a problem.
