Are Copic inks waterproof and acid free? |
|
Copic Markers and
Copic Sketch use a dye
suspended in alcohol. When the alcohol evaporates, the
remaining colour is acid free, and will not wash away.
The alcohol base also means the markers will not damage
the paper surface.

What do the colour codes mean? |
The
letters on the colour code refer to the colour group:
B=Blue,
BG=Blue Green,
BV=Blue Violet,
G=Green,
YG=Yellow Green,
Y=Yellow,
YR=Yellow Red,
R=Red,
RV=Red Violet,
V=Violet,
E=Earth,
C=Cool Gray,
N=Neutral Gray,
T=Toner Gray,
W=Warm Gray
The numbers show how light or dark, and how much gray
there is, in a given colour.
The first number is the saturation or vibrancy of the
colour (0 very vibrant, 9 dull), and the last number is
how light the marker is within that group.
For
example RV01 will be a vibrant, light red violet, RV05
would be vibrant but darker red violet, whilst RV09
would be a much darker version of the same colour group,
suitable as a shadow.
See
the colour chart for a
full range of colours available.

How much freight do you charge for a
Copic order? |
If you
are ordering individual Copic Markers, Sketch markers,
refill inks, or any combination of these, we will charge
a flat $5.00 freight fee Australia wide, regardless of
quantity. This will be added to your order at the time
we process it. Unfortunately we are unable to fulfil
Copic orders for delivery outside Australia and it's
territories.
Should you require courier delivery (charged at our
normal rates), you can select this from our
normal freight tables to
add to your order. Courier delivery is available in 3kg
or 5kg satchels. As a guide, markers weigh approximately
100g, and refill inks 200g.
If you
are ordering a book item at the same time as markers or
refill inks, just select the
type of freight you require for the book item - we
won't charge any extra for the Copic items.
Copic
sets, wallets, airbrush components, paper pads and other
bulky items will be charged at
book rates per item. If you order one marker set and
one wallet, the freight will be charged at the same rate
as two book items. Any individual markers/inks included
in the order will not be charged extra.

What if you
don't have the colour I need in-stock? |
|
Whilst we
aim to have the majority of colours available at all
times, we may sell out from time to time. We usually
have out- of-stock items back in-store within several
days of selling out.
If we
are unable to supply any portion of your order, we will
contact you before shipping your order. You will have
the option of waiting for your order to be completed
then shipped, shipping in-stock items immediately and
cancelling any back-ordered items, or cancelling the
entire order.
