Are Copic Markers Worse Than Cheaper Brand Markers? — The Art Gear Guide

If any of you have experienced the same issue I would love to hear from you and if you did experience the same problems, what did you do about it? Did you simply have to buy a new marker like me wasting a considerable amount of money? or were you given a replacement by COPIC? Do any of you know if COPIC have made a statement on this matter and perhaps offered solutions? I would really love to know what is going on and if COPIC are going to be addressing the problem.

I refuse to believe that this is just happening to me, there must be other artists this is happening to. Check out my YouTube video on the matter and you will be able to see first had the state my COPIC markers have developed into.
