How to create a custom ink and marker

1

Mix the inks in an empty Copic Ink bottle and create your customized color. Each marking on the vessel equals 1ml.

2

Insert the Copic Ink nozzle straight into the ink vessel until there is no gap between them.
* Please note that once fitted, it will be difficult to remove the nozzle so do this carefully.

3

Remove the caps on both sides of the empty marker. Pull out the Broad nib and insert the Copic Ink nozzle until it reaches the padding of the main body. Fill with ink.
* The recommended amount of ink is about 3 ml for a Sketch empty marker.

4

Reinsert the Broad nib into the orifice and leave it for a while. When the ink stains the nib you will know your customized Copic Sketch is ready to use.

    A.

    There are 3 types of Copic markers*: Ciao, Sketch and Classic. All our markers are made in Japan and evaluated against the highest quality standards, they are all refillable with Copic Ink and feature replaceable premium quality nibs. What differs is the overall design, colors available, the type of nib used and the amount of ink in the markers. Copic Sketch and Classic are compatible with the Copic Air Brush System.

  • Q.How do I read the codes on the caps?

    A.

    Copic has its own color system based on which we assign the names of the markers. The letters represent a rough hue (dominant color family, e.g. R stands for 'red', B for 'blue' and 'E' for earth colors). The first digit expresses the saturation of the color - the closer the digit is to 0, the more transparent it is. On the other hand, digits closer to 9 mean that the color is rather dull or muddy. The final digits represent brightness with 000 being the brightest and 9 being the darkest.

  • Q.Which colors should I start with?

    A.

    We recommend starting with some lighter shades since Copic colors are versatile, by applying the color in layers, the ink will intensify and become darker. We suggest that you choose around 10 colors based on what you plan to draw. If you can’t purchase individual Copic markers in your market then please refer to the page on this website where we introduce our readily curated sets in many formats.
