    i think chartpacks bleed a little more so i've been using prismas. i might rack some chartpacks if it's worthwhile. which do you prefer?

    For really big fills I like Chartpacks. For everything else Prisma

    yeah, rma is right. its soo hard to do small little areas with chartpacks, but when you get used to the bleeding, the fills come out crazy. it looks like you used the little paint bucket on mspaint haha..

    prismas also have the advantage of the 2 sides, but i never use the thin side anyway..

    so you live in the us?.... if you do, most micheals make you buy prisma's at the counter.... i havnt seen or heard of chartpacks there, or anywhere, but you can still rack paint markers... permapiuqes, and decos/ paintys there... and the prisma pencils too.. (the seperate ones, the packs you all have to buy at the desk..)

    hope this helps.... :ph34r:

    do they sell sekuras at micheals... or roberts.... never heard of em' got a pic?

    Sakuras are permapaques. and i love em. Prismas arent dark enough for me or something, but the colors are nice.

    Anything you'd want to steel at my michaels is all sitting neatly in the very back of the store where no one could see you unless they where in the same asile. It's a shame I don't rack.

    hey man, i just got my prisma's a while back, they are pretty tight, they bleed like fucking mad though, and they like spread everywhere, once it makes contact it flows, kinda leaks.... and i thought they would be kinda like paint markers.... so you can overlap, but it pulls a cryola style, and just makes it darker when overlapped..... they are smooth, but hard to control..... and they fuckin bleed!!!..... they are kind of weird....
