🎨 Acrylic Pen Review: Jusart 60 Pack Dual Nib Markers

🖊️ Overview

The Jusart 60 Pack Acrylic Dual Nib Markers are designed to give you flexibility, vibrant colour, and ease of use across a wide range of creative projects. Article created by John A. MacInnes

🔄 Dual-Tip Design for Precision & Coverage

Each marker features a dual-tip design, combining a 1–5mm round nib for precision with a flexible brush tip for broader strokes. The fine tip is ideal for outlining, detailed illustrations, and line work, while the brush tip allows for smooth colouring, blending, and expressive fills. Whether you’re working on delicate details or bold designs, these pens adapt easily to your style.

⚡ Instant Use – No Priming Needed

Unlike traditional push-type acrylic pens, these markers use cotton nibs, meaning they’re ready to use straight away with no priming required. I’ve been using these for around four months now with no issues at all, and one of the standout features is that as soon as you uncap them, they’re ready to go—no shaking or pumping needed. This makes them especially user-friendly for beginners and younger artists.

🌈 Ink Quality & Finish

The water-based acrylic ink dries quickly to reduce smudging and delivers an opaque finish, so most colours won’t require layering. The fade-resistant formula also helps maintain vibrancy over time.

🎨 Colour Range & Swatch System

Fantastic range of colours

The set includes 60 colours in total, with 48 standard shades and 10 metallic options, offering a wide spectrum for mixing, shading, and experimenting. The range of colours is honestly all you’re ever likely to need for crafting—particularly for book nooks and similar detailed projects. I also really like the included colour swatch template—once filled in, it makes it incredibly easy to match the exact shade you need to the part you’re working on without any guesswork.

🧱 Surfaces & Compatibility

These markers work smoothly on a variety of materials including paper, cardstock, wood, canvas, fabric, metal, plastic, ceramics, and even rocks. On darker or pre-printed surfaces like wood, additional layers may be needed to achieve full opacity.

💡 Final Thoughts & Buying Advice

Would I recommend them? Certainly. The quality, ease of use, and colour range make them a great all-round set. One word of advice, though—there are many different suppliers offering similar pens, and even with this exact set, prices can vary quite a bit across platforms like Temu, Amazon, and eBay. It’s definitely worth shopping around to find the best deal available.

🛠️ Care & Storage Tips

For best results, always replace the cap tightly after use and store the pens horizontally to keep the ink flowing evenly.
