Good or Gimmick? OLO Marker Unbox, Swatch and Review 2 Months in the Making!

This review was a couple of months in the making because I wanted to have a good amount of time using these markers before doing a review. They are something new and you don't see a unique new art supply product often. Are they worth the hype? Are they right for you? Only you can say but I tried to create a fully comprehensive review with pros and cons to help you decide.

Pros:
Good quality
You can customize the colors in your marker
Replaceable ink cartridges and nibs
Free-flowing ink means you get 90% use of ink vs 60% from normal markers
Logical color mixing system
160 colors
All products are available open stock

Cons:
the only potential con would be if the company closed because the only way to refill the markers is to buy their custom cartridges.

Overall I think the quality is excellent and the price is fair. It is not going to be the best choice for someone on a budget who needs a lot of colors but for artists who want a specific color palette or want to invest in a quality marker system, I recommend them. The ink flows like a normal alcohol marker so alcohol marker users shouldn't have much of a learning curve getting used to these.
