These markers have really opened up the world of alcohol markers to me. I have quite a few of the "other" markers, bought before I really understood how they worked. Blending was, if it happened at all, a happy accident! But with the three markers in a set, all blending together beautifully, I now look like I actually know what I'm doing! The colors are beautiful, the price point is great, and the experience of using them is so easy. I have several sets now, and see more in my future.
