NEW Spectrum Noir Illustrator Marker Review with Better Brush Nibs

SpectrumNoir recently improved the nibs on their pro range of Illustrator markers. How do they perform? I'll let you know in today's video!

The new spectrum Noir Illustrator markers feature flexible (foam-rubber like)fray resistant nibs and are available open stock and in sets of 6, 12 and 36 currently. They are part of the Spectrum Noir coloring system and match your other SN markers and can be refilled with the SN refill inks aking them a totally reusable marker. If you have the older style Illustrator markers (or even the classics) you can use the new replacement nibs in them if they wear out. The nibs will be available soon and ll 216 colors are ink is now available on the Crafter's Companion website. https://www.crafterscompanion.com/bra...

Disclaimer, I never bought the OG spectrum Noir Illustrator markers because I heard the nibs were the felt-tip-fiber kind that fray and I didn't want ant more of those kinds of markers but when I heard they have a new nib similar to Copic I was very happy to try them. These markers were sent to me from Crafters companion for free to review.

Pros:
Price- $4 individual or $2-$3 each if bought in sets
Smooth ink in vibrant colors
Sets are arranged in thoughtful color groupings
Refillable, reinkers here: https://www.crafterscompanion.com/cat...
Easy to blend
The flexible brush end gives wide to fine strokes and the bullet tip is ultra-fine for tiny details.

Cons:
There may still be old stock out there so be sure you are getting the new version. I asked my contact at Crafter's Companion how to tell new from old stock and she said this: The Illustrators have a darker font on the pen itself, the new is a grey the old is a beige.
