Shuttle Art 89-Color Alcohol Markers — Dual-Tip Set with Carry Case
Product description
What you get: 88 individually colored alcohol markers plus 1 clear colorless blender, housed in an upgraded magnetic box with six segmented slots. The folding panels rotate so the box can be arranged into a triangle-shaped stand that keeps markers in a horizontal orientation while you work. A transparent swatch sheet is included for sampling colors and protecting surfaces when testing tones.
Tips and nibs: Each marker is dual-ended — a broad 7 mm chisel for fast coverage and a 1 mm fine tip for precise lines and details. The barrel is a comfortable quadrilateral shape that reduces rolling and fits ergonomically in hand. The markers are alcohol-based permanent ink formulated to layer and blend; colors mix smoothly when used with short, quick strokes rather than prolonged soaking of the paper.
Performance and handling: The ink is non-toxic and acid-free and meets ASTM-D4236 standards. Markers dry fairly quickly and are capable of producing smooth, streak-free layers when used on suitable marker paper. The clear sheet provided helps prevent color transfer to subsequent pages and lets you label or test shades easily.
Care and cautions: To avoid excessive bleeding, do not hold the tip pressed on paper for long periods. Store caps on when not in use and lay markers flat to minimize drying or leakage. Because alcohol markers perform best on marker-specific or heavier paper, thin sheets may allow ink to bleed through. If you have any product issues, the manufacturer provides customer support for satisfaction and replacements.
Pros
- Extensive color selection with colorless blender
- Dual tips for broad coverage and fine detail
- Magnetic case converts to a triangular easel and includes swatch sheet
Cons
- Some markers can be overly wet and prone to bleeding
- Occasional leaking or markers drying out reported
- Not ideal for heavy blending without practice or specific paper
VerdictThis 89-piece marker kit delivers a wide palette, convenient dual tips (7 mm chisel and 1 mm fine) and a versatile magnetic case that doubles as a tabletop holder. Colors are vivid and generally layer well, but several users report wet ink, occasional leaking, and some markers drying out with regular use. Good value for hobbyists and beginners who want many colors and a portable setup, provided yo

Handy double-ended pens
Vibrant colors and the dual ends are really convenient. Recommend for all ages.

Good color choice but limited blending
Nice selection and the fine tip is great for detail. The brush end covers large areas but is soft, making tiny spots tricky. Colors lay down smoothly, but blending isn’t seamless for advanced techniques. Good for beginners and kids.

Excellent value and portable setup
Great markers for coloring books — brush and fine tips are useful. The case is sturdy with a handle and props the markers up while you work. Satisfied overall.

Stunning color but too wet
Colors are gorgeous, yet these are very juicy and bleed easily even on thicker paper. A few markers splattered when opened and several shades look different wet versus dry; not worth it for the cost in my view.

Vivid but short-lived for me
Colors pop and the case is handy, but several markers dried out within a couple of weeks. They’re juicy and can bleed, so be careful near edges. Grip is comfortable, but longevity was an issue for me.

Lovely range and helpful swatch cards
So many pretty shades and the sample sheet with names makes picking colors easy. The case is convenient and most markers lasted a long time; a few eventually ran low but seem refillable if soaked overnight.

Pretty, delicate tones
Some shades are soft and look almost like watercolors. The chart helps check actual tones by writing them out, which I appreciated.

Great performance, cheaper alternatives exist
They work really well, but comparable sets can be found for less elsewhere.

Solid starter markers
Good choice for beginners — they blend reasonably and are recommended for those new to alcohol markers.
