I've been really digging your 'bleedthrumanades'! Are you using just the permanent Letraset Promarkers or are any of them done with Letraset Aqua Markers? Cheers, MoonAttic
I've only been using the Promarkers. The Letraset stuff is pretty hard to find in the U.S., so I've never had the chance to see the Aqua Markers. They're water-soluable though, so I think they'd be like the Tombows and not bleed-thru. I really want to try them out.
I bought some Letraset Aqua Promarkers online at Dick Blick to try out. The colors appear more saturated, yet unlike their permanent markers, they don't tend to bleed through. They do go on wetter and my paper curled, however I haven't tried them out on different types of paper. Dick Blick has about 20 colors and a set of 5 for 20 to 28% off list here: http://www.dickblick.com/products/letraset-aqua-promarkers/ and right now they're giving 15% off orders of $99 or more and 48% off Prismacolor Illustration Markers, if you're interested (I've never tried them, myself) - they're evidently archival, acid-free, pigmented, lightfast, smear-proof when dry and - - - "Will not bleed through". I hope I'm not being a bad influence on your pocketbook!!! Kind regards, MoonAttic
