Review on 12 Colors Self-Outline Metallic Markers: Whaline Double Line Outline Pens For Christmas Card Writing, Birthday Greeting, DIY Art Crafts & Scrap Booking by Mike Pearson

Two of mine (red and gold) were messed up. They already had ink in the tip when I opened them but only the color (no silver). When I did try to let a little more ink out, it flooded out in a puddle, but did contain both color and silver. Once I had done some scribbling to get out a lot of the the excess ink from the tip, they worked basically like they're supposed to, but always just a little runnier than the rest, and any pressure will set them flooding again.So, you can still use the floody ones if you just have a test page and get it writing like you want there before going to your actual page, and be careful not to press hard at all.The other 10 markers worked well if I give just enough pressure initially to wet the tips with ink (after shaking) and then let it bleed from the base of the tip to the end of the tip. A little more ink will cause thicker lines (with more color on the sides).Sometimes the color outline is uneven and can look blotchy, but I think that is from pressing too hard/long in one place while I write, so can probably practice and get rid of that effect.As many othera have noted, it does bleed through the page. I'm using some printer paper and for me the main color would be fully visible on the pack of the page (see second picture) with a couple small splotches on the page underneath, but none on the 3rd page down.Orange is almost coral. Green is like a forest green/dark teal. Gold is a yellowish-orange (not metallic gold).Everything else looks pretty much the same as its cap. The yellow and light pink are pretty neon, like highlighters.
