New Arrtx Alp Alcohol Marker Review PLUS Learn 15 Blending Combos & Color a Rainbow Flower
Today I am reviewing the brand new Arrtx Alp Markers available in an 80 count set: https://amzn.to/2tYzss3 (affiliate link used)
*These markers were sent to me for free for review purposes.
*Stamps used were Woodware "Picked for You" clear set: https://www.creative-expressions.uk.com/productcatalogue/detail.php?pid=JGS662

Overview: This set contains 79 colors plus a clear blender marker in an attractive storage box and carrying case that is designed to keep the double-ended markers flat. The markers feature a chisel and bullet nib and matte white plastic round barrels with color chips on each end.

Pros:
Price
Good selection of color including several pastel shades
Blends well
comfortable to hold
Comes with a case for storage
Comes with a hand color swatch chart *although I still recommend swatching on the paper you usually use for correct color reference.

Cons
The color chips at the end of the markers are unreliable
Some of the colors (by number) look different from the old Arrtx markers even though the numbers and names are the same.
Not refillable (although I think these run on the Shinhan ink system so you could purchase Shinhan ink and refill them if you wanted to)
The caps are a bit hard to remove
Bottom Line:
I was really excited to try these because I love and recommend the old-style Arrtx markers with the square cap on the chisel end: https://amzn.to/30Wx0ya The old arrtx markers are a better deal too with the 80 count set selling for $6 less. The fine nib on the Alp is skinnier than the old arrtx one but it isn't a big difference in use. I think that the caps might be hard with people with arthritis or other strength issues although they do seem to loosen up with time. These markers are similar in quality to other alcohol markers in the same price point.
