These markers are very easy to use, vibrant, and so affordable!
Pros:
Really smooth and effortless application of color.
Great coverage for most shades.
Nice range of colors in the light and mid-tone values.
Flexible brush tips that seem pretty durable, too.
All markers received worked perfectly.
Paint dries pretty quickly and paint is easy to layer.
Box for the markers is durable and has magnetic closure. Handle is rubbery and makes it easy to tote around.
Cons:
While I like how compact the storage box is, the pens are somewhat difficult to remove.
Metallic colors are not my favorite. I would have preferred a larger range of darker regular colors instead.
There aren’t a lot of deep, rich colors in this particular set.
As with nearly all acrylic markers, white will need a second coat over most other colors.
I’ve only used them for a week so I don’t know how much paint they contain but the value for money just can’t be beat with these, considering the quality of the markers. I’m really pleased with them!
I am actually blown away by the quality of these markers for less than 50¢ each!? My expectations of budget art supplies are incredibly low to be honest, so I ordered these on a whim to play with when I don't want to pull out the paints. I was impressed from pretty much the minute i opened the box, which has a carrying handle and a lid that neatly folded back and snapped magnetically underneath to prop up the box. Super nice presentation and it feels very sturdy. But then I started swatching and omg they're so juicyyy. Really vibrant colors and the brush tips are super smooth. The tips hold up pretty well alternating between light touch/fine line and heavy touch/thick line. The metallics were especially impressive, they really shimmer nicely!
Admittedly I don't know how much paint is in them since I've only been using for a few days, and the level is quite hard to read. Some of them almost look half full but then you slosh back and forth and it seems closer to full? It's a nice idea in theory but maybe not great for acrylic paint that's so viscous. The markers are quite small so I assume certain colors will run out fairly quickly, especially if you're using on more absorbent paper. Regardless, my initial impression is fantastic and the value is pretty hard to beat. This would be a great introductory set to paint markers that doesn't break the bank.

I admit, I am just getting started on my adventure with acrylic markers and I am experimenting in different ways on how to use them in my art or every day utility (they're fantastic for labelling plain storage tins and jars!) JusArt offers a few different versions of acrylic marker sets so I did a little digging on the variations between them all. FYI, you will find more detailed information about JusArt products here on their Amazon store front than you will at JusArt's official webpage.
So....JusArt has OTHER Acrylic Paint Marker sets that come in a few variations. They have:
1. single color dual-end acrylic markers (brush tip and chisel tip), 2. Dual ended acrylic markers where each end of the marker is a different color. 3. Acrylic Markers that are single end brush tipped with easy-flow ink and transparent bodies and some other dual tip sets that have a bullet/fine point at one end.
I genuinely wanted to know how THIS SPECIFIC SET was different from a previous set I purchased about 2 months ago. All their sets have a variation of: tip style (brush, chisel, fine), "Automatic ink control" (translation: you don't have to pump/prime the marker), dual vs single ended, # of colors in the set, and storage case.
For THIS 72 set here are the main features:
1. A larger liquid ink reservoir (as opposed to a cotton tube with ink).
2. Large brush tip and automatic ink control. You can tell visually which JusArt markers have this feature because each marker has a clear window to see the ink level and the ink control mechanism looks like a bunch of fine black lines inside the marker.
3. This set did NOT come with color swatch cards, which I was a little sad about because almost all of their other acrylic marker sets do. So I printed out my own because I do test swatches with all of my art supplies.
4. The storage case is a thick glossy cardboard box with a magnetic flap for closure and a leather strap. The flap can be "tented" to display your markers at an angle for rapid, easy access. Being that other sets come in a clear plastic case or canvas storage bag/organizer, I kind of felt like the box (though premium it is) was a bit of a downgrade. If you like all your colors displayed at once with easy switching between markers then maybe you'll like this case style.
It's quality but not my favorite storage container from their product line-up.
5. Each the 24, 48, and 72 color sets includes 12 Metallic colors.
What I like:
* Automatic flow makes using these soooo easy. These are quite "juicy" to use depending on your surface and make smooth, fluid strokes. JusArt claims "no ink separation". Which for the most part is very accurate. I always shake my markers before using them though just to make sure.
* The pigment is bright and opaque! Look at my color swatch page. I purposely "colored outside the lines" on each square to test the opacity with 1 pass.
* It includes Metallic colors so you don't have to buy a separate set for specialty colors.
* 6 internal box compartments to keep color families grouped together and not falling all over each other.
What I don't like:
* The box seems seems like a budget and stylized variant of their other acrylic marker sets. This box was definitely built for display. Maybe not so much for portability or durability. Seems like something that would appeal to new or younger artists.
* Anything that is labelled a "professional" art supply NEEDS to have a blank color swatch card or a resource on where to get one printed with colors listed.
* volume of ink in each marker is not listed anywhere. So consumers have no idea how many ml of ink they're getting. This detail is more helpful to avid artists than hobbyists which leads me to think again that this is a budget variant set.
Overall thoughts: The ink quality and delivery mechanism are the same high quality as their higher priced sets. You get a little more general variety in the colors from the metallics included. These seem to be a budget offering of JusArt's other single tipped acrylic markers (the ones that come with the fully transparent marker bodies in the canvas case).
This set would be great for a beginning artist who wants a more generalized variety of colors and doesn't travel every with their supplies. It's a display box, not a travel case. There's a difference. If you don't care about the "what I don't like" points on my list, then these sets are about $10-20 cheaper (at regular price) than it's clear-bodied, canvas-cased cousin. Why spend the extra money? It's the same ink and auto flow inside so I'm not subtracting a star. After the swatching is done they all work the same way when using them and I'm pleased with the quality of the markers themselves. Just not the packaging.
JusArt continues to impress me with their variety and quality at every level of product.

Supertolle Stifte, Decken richtig gut und kräftige Farben, bemale damit Steine
Nice bold markers. As with anything marker, they have a bolder color when dry. I love the assortment and so far none hav seemed dry at first (I've bought similar matkers and half of them were dried put already. There is even a little window on each marker to see if you are running low or if the color is mixed well. I wouldn't push too hard on the tip because it can get ruined but the thickness of the stroke depends on the heaviness of your touch. So, the lighter the touch the thinner the line. They don't seem to bleed as long as you don't hold the marker too long in one spot. I love the case too as it keeps the markers nice and neat. I haven't tried on all surfaces but so far cardboard and paper have been very optimal. Good option for acrylic markers.
