These look like they might be useful. Has anyone tried them?

There is a very nice selection of grays

Same idea as the Prismacolor markers. Probably as expensive as well.

I have been using Pantone Markers double markers for over 35 years.
I also use Prisma and Staedtler double ended markers.
Fine point and Chisel point.

However these are both fine point ends...I have "Brush" markers just like these.

I find Pantone to be the highest price, but not necessarily the best.
Pantone is known for their large numbered colour system, which is an industry standard in printing and graphics.

I have tried them for colouring paper edges, because the available colour range is very large. But I never use them, because the ink is so thin, it runs between the fibers of the paper and penetrates inside the paper, very visible just under the surface.
Anbd they are expensive. But great for drawing.

Thanks guys -- I guess I will stick to the Faber-Castell PITT brush markers.
