how do these compare? i have a ton of tombows from back in the day as a cardmaker :) ha they are double ended, do watercolouring etc... are these the same type of thing? and can i use these instead for the summer stamp class? thanks :)

Yup, same concept totally, right down to the watercoloring. :) AC markers aren't double-ended, though, so the Tombows may actually have them beat in that area.

What about Stampin' Up! Markers??

The American Crafts marders are double ended from what i see in the shop. Still debating on trying these

thanks girls... you may have just saved me a ton of money :) hehe well now i can spend it on something else! lol

Does anyone know what type of ink is in the AC stamp markers? Is it any different from the typical pigment ink pens? Can those regular pigment pens be used for stamping?

They are a water-based dye ink, @scrapboo.

Also, I apologize for saying that they aren't double-ended earlier- my mistake! They totally are!
