My daughter got some Promarker pens for christmas as she does a lot of Manga Drawings. I decided to have a go with them to see what they were like.
The pens are doubled ended with a fine nib and a thick nib. they flow very quickly so you do not need much pressure. The colours are true to the packaging and there is a wide range to choose from. They can be bought individually or in packs to make them more economical.
I used Ranger Distress ink pad to stamp the image and it didnt smudge when i coloured the image in.... Stazon and Archival ink both smudged. As you can see the colours are intense and they are specifically designed for blending.
I used mine onto prism card but you can also get special bleed proof paper.
I was surprised that they worked well on aceteate but you have to colour the image from behind and leave to dry otherwise they will smudge.
My verdict....expensive but well worth the money.
Thanks for looking
