If you are a frequent or heavy user of Copic Markers and you find that you are having to replace them all too often, you may be interested in a more economical solution.

The tips on each Copic marker will last many years if they are cared for properly. When I say cared for, I simply mean replacing the caps after use. When your marker runs out (usually indicated by streaking of the colours as you lay them down), rather than throw it away why no refill it with Copic Various Ink?

Copic Various ink refill bottles are the "gas stations" for any Copic marker. One single bottle refills a Sketch Marker at least 13 times, a Ciao Marker over 16 times and the Copic Original Marker 9 times !. This makes Copic the most economical marker system worldwide.

All you need to do is simply match the colour number with your marker colour number and it's like having a brand new marker to work with.  The refill inks come with guaranteed colour consistency and a 3 year guaranteed shelf life.

To refill your marker use Copic tweezers to remove the nib, then fill with specially designed refill bottle. The entire Copic range of markers can be refilled (including Copic Ciao).

COPIC ink is alcohol-based, fast-drying, permanent, non-toxic and acid free. It won’t dissolve toner and can be used in multimedia projects as it works well with watercolours and coloured pencils. 

The great news is that we are currently running a special offer on the Copic Refill Inks so that you can buy them at £5.99 instead of the usual £7.50. We currently stock a limited range of colours. If the colour you require is not listed, then let us know either by e-mail at customerservice@yourcreativitystore.co.uk or phone and we can order them in for you. It usually adds about 4 days to the leadtime.
