Distinguish Oil Based Markers From Water Based Markers

Many people like to draw and doodle with markers. Children, cartoonists, artists and designers all need to use the marker in their daily lives. So, do you know that there are two different types of markers: oil-based markers and water-based markers? Do you know the difference between them?

The difference between oily marker and water-based marker is mainly reflected in the three aspects of different media, different color effect and different disadvantage. The following is a detailed introduction:

• DIFFERENT MEDIA:

  Oil marker can not dissolve in water, but soluble in alcohol, when the ink of oil marker is about to dry, you can use a syringe to absorb a small amount of alcohol into the marker can be directly used. If the ink on a water-based marker dries, add water, and the ink is tasteless and non-pungent. Compared with the two, water-based markers are more cost-effective.

• DIFFERENT COLOR EFFECT:

  Oily marker color is soft, volatile fast, dry color will become light; Water-based markers have bright colors and clear brush strokes, and the color becomes muddy after multiple coverage.

• DIFFERENT DISADVANTAGES:

  Oily marker paper permeability is relatively strong, color saturation is poor, and the color will become light after dry, and the taste is very pungent. The disadvantage of water-based markers is that they can't be overlaid with color. If multiple colors are used, the picture will be dirty.
