Dual Tip Markers
As a professional stationery supplier, I have learned about many different markers over the past few years. Seeing many brands come and go; some have maintained their quality while others have lasted as long as the guest bird.
The double nib marker is one of the most recognized and popular marks for artists. The pen has two different nibs on it, making it easy to use on complex projects. But over the years, I have seen people choose the wrong style.
Later, they regret not having done the work they wanted. That's why I review my personal selection of the best double-tip markers, taking into account current trends and choices for artists.
Types of Dual Tip Markers (Depending on Tip)
Before I take you deep inside the top dual-tip markers of the present time, let me give you a brief idea about what dual-tip markers are. It is essential to know about them.
Otherwise, you’ll be the gypsy man on the lost island. I have categorized the dual-tip markers into five sections. You get them about:
1. Chisel and Fine
Chisel tips are widely used in calligraphic works. From ancient times, people have been using this shaped tip. They are usually slanted at the end, allowing you to make thick and thin lines. Just change the direction of the point, and you get your work done.
And a fine tip is made for extra precisions. They are pen-like in structure, mainly used for writings. A chisel and fine tip combo assure you to do extensive writings and border them precisely. You also get to blot large spaces with the chisel tip and later border it with the fine tip.
2. Chisel and Brush
Brush tips are widely used for sketching. Even for coloring, the tip is quite favorable to the artists.
A dual-tip marker with chisel and brush tip gets to satisfy your desire for big projects. The double-ended marker with the tips will increase your productivity, lessen your time and make your work perfect.
But be careful while working with this combo. Because you have to be careful with the precisive works as you don’t have a fine tip in this regard.
3. Brush and Bullet
You already know about brush tips. The new thing in this combo is the bullet tip.
When you see the bullet tip, the first thing that’ll come to your mind is the ball pen. They look the same. But being a marker, the ink flow and durability of the bullet tip is better and more versatile.
Having a brush and bullet tip on your marker gives you all the freedom to decorate, sketch, color, and many things. Mostly, you get to write with it on boards, paper, etc. Academics and office works are mostly done with this marker.
4. Chisel and Bullet
Nothing new in this regard. You already know that chisel tip is used to make thick bold lines and sharp thin ones. And bullet tip markers are widely common for writing and coloring. Both the tip at once can be a good combo for writing purposes.
So, if you are up for any kind of graffiti or poster making, you know which dual-tip marker you need to have.
5. Brush and Fine
The brush and fine tip combination is an amazing one. You’ll get to see the combination in most dual-tip markers. Reason?
It’s simple. The brush tip has all the qualities to cover large areas on the surface. And the fine tip allows you to give extra precision and linings to your work.
When you have both the precisive medium and large blotting medium in your hand, they work deadly for you. You are coloring your art at one end, and then you get to apply borders and writings on and around it. The brush and fine tip combo are widely used, and in my opinion, they will serve you the most in your casual works.
