2) The case is easily closeable and actually stays closed, protecting the markers.
3) The sets come in two sizes:
a) 20 markers with 0.7mm tip
b) 12 markers with 3 mm tip.
4) built in fastener and eco-smart design that is easy to use and stays put when closed.
5) Acrylic ink in markers flows as freely as ink in fountain pens, after first shaking marker then pressing down the tip on paper for about 20 seconds.
6) Markers write on SEVEN surfaces, and I tested markers on all seven:
a) papers
b) stones including what appears to me to be an arrowhead
c) ceramic and porcelain including Wedgewood
d) wood
e) canvas
f) leather
g) glass
7) Acrylic ink did not wash off after setting for 24 hours. Thus appears to be permanent. Hurrah! I did not use a scrub brush on the items which is not unusual. Few artists would use a scrub brush over their art! I just washed them with water and a tiny bit of soap and a gentle rub to see if ink disintegrated and it did not.
8) cute cute walrus logo!
9) graphic design on package is serious, impressive art--I liked it a lot.
10) Caps to markers make a snap sound when they are properly seated to prevent ink drying out.
11) The 3mm markers make uniform, perfectly round dots of a convenient size to incorporate into designs, by just pressing marker down and holding it. Then lifting to repeat.
12) The brilliant ink in markers has a satin finish.
13) The markers have a hard barrell that appears to be metal thus durable.
14) Art Walrus is a start up business of a wannabee Architect, named Samuel Borelli, who began it to raise money for his University tuition. I reason that is a cause that most people could feel good about supporting. The superior quality of the markers makes it a win-win for seller and buyer.
