Refilling Reimagined
Quality, longevity and sustainability have been part of the Copic DNA ever since the launch in 1987.
In fact, the very first Copic marker was designed to be refillable and thanks to our users worldwide
the brand has significantly reduced plastic waste for decades.
To encourage even more refilling we have now released our next generation Copic Ink,
the new design enables quick and clean refills with precision and control,
the long nozzle also multitasks for easy ink art application.
Copic Ink is water-free and quick-drying and can be used for airbrush work or
classic sketching and drawing with pen and brushes.
Translucency and control
The new bottle allows for easy readability and measuring of ink amount. The packaging is fully recyclable* (*may vary by local guidelines)
Quick and easy refills
The long nozzle is designed to reach the ink reservoir inside the marker barrel to enable smooth and clean refills.
Color matched caps
The dyed caps with engraved codes allow for easy color identification. The cap has improved air tightness and a ridge for easy opening and no rolling.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q.Why does the ink smell?
A.Although Copic markers are relatively low odor compared to most alcohol based markers there is a level of inevitable alcohol-specific odor, so please use the markers in a well-ventilated room. If you start feeling sick, please refrain from use. The ink components are similar to those in ethanol used for disinfection and do not accumulate in the human body. -
Q.Are Copic markers water-based or oil-based markers?
A.Copic markers are, broadly speaking, oil-based markers. However, many definitions of oil-based markers mention the use of strong organic solvents, and since our inks mostly consist of alcohol, we prefer calling Copic markers alcohol-based.
-
Q.Is it possible to refill Copic markers just by dripping the ink onto the nib?
A.Yes, it is possible to refill Copic markers by dripping ink directly on the nib, (this was the method for Various Inks). The new Copic Ink however features a longer nozzle which allows refilling directly into the barrel which is easier and quicker. (In the past we used to have a product called a 'replenishing booster', this is now discontinued since the new Copic Ink provides the same function)
A Japanese illustrator and long-time Copic fan, Ms. Tsugumi Okubo is demonstrating how she uses Copic Ink to create her art piece. Here is an interview with Ms. Okubo about her process.
