Product Information

Full details

The Copic Ciao Portrait Colours set is an ideal choice for students, illustrators, and beginners looking to transition into professional-grade alcohol markers without the higher cost of the Copic Sketch or Classic lines. These dual-ended markers offer the same high-quality, ultra-blendable ink as the premium range, though they feature a smaller barrel capacity and a refined 180-colour palette. While they are highly durable and refillable, users should note that they are slightly smaller than their professional counterparts.

FAQs

Are Copic Ciao markers compatible with other Copic markers?

Yes, Ciao markers use the same high-quality alcohol-based ink as Copic Sketch and Classic, making them fully compatible for blending and layering.

How many times can I refill a Ciao marker?

With a standard 12ml Copic Ink refill bottle, you can refill a Ciao marker approximately 9 times.

Can I use Copic Ciao on any type of paper?

For best results, use dedicated marker paper or smooth, bleed-proof cardstock to prevent excessive ink absorption and feathering.

Why are Ciao markers cheaper than Sketch markers?

Ciao markers have a smaller ink capacity and a slightly simpler, round barrel design compared to the oval-shaped Sketch markers.

Are these markers safe for children?

The markers feature child-safe, ventilated end caps, though they contain alcohol-based solvents and should be used under adult supervision for younger children.

Do the markers come with a storage solution?

The Portrait Colours set includes an acrylic case designed to keep your markers organized and easy to access.

Troubleshooting

The marker tip feels dry or isn't flowing ink properly

The marker likely needs a refill. Use Copic Ink to replenish the internal padding, then let the marker sit for a few minutes until the ink saturates the nib.

The brush nib has become frayed or damaged

Copic Ciao nibs are replaceable. Simply pull the old nib out using tweezers and insert a fresh, compatible Ciao replacement nib.

Ink is leaking from the marker barrel

You may have overfilled the marker. Use a paper towel to absorb excess ink around the nib area and ensure the cap is replaced securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fantastic value for professional-grade ink quality
  • Excellent blending capabilities for portrait artists
  • Environmentally conscious design with refillable ink and replaceable nibs
  • Compact and durable round barrel design

Cons

  • Lower ink capacity compared to Sketch or Classic series
  • Smaller total colour range of 180 compared to the full Copic lineup
  • Requires additional investment in ink refills for long-term use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your Ciao markers, simply uncap the desired tip. For storage, keep the markers lying horizontally to ensure even ink distribution to both nibs. If you notice the ink fading, you can refill the marker by removing the chisel nib with tweezers and using the Copic Ink nozzle to add ink into the barrel until it reaches the inner padding.

Always replace caps firmly to prevent the alcohol-based ink from drying out. To maintain the life of your nibs, avoid using overly textured or heavy-grain papers that can cause the soft brush tips to fray prematurely.
