Hubby did a wonderful job in organizing and ordering almost all my pressies this year, just to be sure I got, just what I wanted. YAY!! More refills.
Thank you Hubby.xx
I have well over two hundred Copic Markers, which I use for all my colouring projects.
Copics are not cheap but they are
Lovely to work with and they are refillable. So Hubby got most people to buy inks refills for my birthday. I hate throwing away markers with perfectly good tips just because they have run out of ink and in turn adding to the plastic waste problem we have caused this planet.I realized that the refills also come in plastic bottles, but to my mind the buying the refills reduces the amount of plastic I personally throw away.
One refill will refill my pen approximately 10 -15 times.
So that's a lot of plastic pens I am not adding to the plastic waste problem.
I tend to do all my colouring at night and there is very little that is more frustrating than colouring a project and having the pen run out of ink.
Especially if you don't have a refill to hand and have to wait days for the postman to deliver a new pens or refill so I can complete my project. (We don't have a Copic stockist anywhere near us.)
Oh dear, I am starting to sound like an Eco warrior. I can assure you I am not as good as I could and should be at recycling, but I do try.
If saving the planet is not your concern (which it should be)
here is another reason for buying the refills.... it saves you money and we all like to save money.
Ciao pens retail price is about £3 per pen, a refill is about £6.50 but you will get at least 10 refills from one bottle. It makes sense to to buy the refills.
Personally I think all markers companies should offer refills, but then, they wouldn't make so much money out of us.
