• Name... The way the brand name is written on the marker also plays an important role. The only correct spelling is Touch. The manufacturer's brand must also be indicated on the package. There should also be the “AR” marking, which confirms the fact that the products are non-toxic and safe. There are usually no such inscriptions on fakes. In addition, their names are often longer.
• Package... As already mentioned, the original markers come in a convenient case that you can easily move from place to place or take with you on the road. Chinese knockoffs are usually sold in soft black cases.
• Quality... Cheap Chinese copies are of poor quality assembly. Colored caps are poorly attached to them. This leads to the fact that they are constantly lost. Therefore, it can be difficult to determine the color of a closed marker. The body of the Chinese models itself is made of cheap plastic. Because of this, it can often deform and scratch. The original markers are resistant to mechanical damage.

Chinese fakes are much cheaper. But original markers have a long service life. In addition, they draw in a completely different way. Therefore, you should not skimp on quality. Aspiring artists are better off buying a few quality markers than spending money on a cheaper set. Then they can understand the benefits of these sketching materials.
