I have been asked today whether Copic Ciao Alcohol Markers should be stored horizonally or vertically?
I store mine vertically (upright) in the Copic Display cases with the brush nibs pointing downwards as this is the nib I use most often. (This probably stems from being told to store dye inkpads upside down!!). However the markers can be stored either vertically or horizonally. The most important thing is to make sure you replace the pen caps after use.
The Copic Ciao Markers are double ended with a brush nib one end and a chisel tip the other. You can replace the nibs and the pens are refillable too. The replacement nibs are now on order and should be here soon..
NB: The Spica Glitter pens MUST stored horizonally as the glitter (micro glass) will clog the pen nib if you store vertically…

If you have any tips (no pun intended!!) join the debate ..
This is K1006 Colonial Spring stamp designed by Gary Robertson. The image has been stamped with Versafine Smoky Grey inkpad onto our Creative Smooth card. I love this cardstock - it was originally stocked for using with our Copic markers but I now love to use it with chalks and pencils too! I guess it is true what they say about having good foundations, and this card is definitely it!! I have simply coloured with chalks using the tools which come with the chalk kits. Tip 1: The Neutral chalk set is really handy for landscape designs. Tip 2: Did you know that we stock a chalk eraser which will remove any errors? I have found it really helpful.
