Question 1

Is the ink waterproof?  If I use them on glossy paper will they smear?

Accepted Answer

Although I haven't tried them specifically on glossy paper, I have tried them on several non-paper surfaces (such as a semi-gloss canvas). If you give the ink ample time to dry (will be tacky after just a few minutes and then totally dry after several hours) then it will likely not smear. However, if I went back to the canvases that I've done with them and wiped a damp cloth across, I'm rather certain the ink would smudge, so I do not believe that the ink is waterproof.

Question 2

What is the difference between this set & the set of 60 which is about the same price?

Accepted Answer

i would guess that there are several more colors.  if it's the same price as the 48 pen set, i'd go with the 60.  i love the pens.  they color like the copics - nice and even - AND you can color your stamps with them to make the impression.  i can't do that with copics.  the copics dry too fast.  i really enjoy my Faber Castell Pitt Brush Pens.

Question 4

Can you blend these colors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, to an extent. Here is an example of a work in progress where I have used blending with these pens on prepped canvas: http://www.redoleandergallery.com/Red_Oleander_Gallery/Works_in_Progress.html#7 However when trying to blend on paper I found the results to be more like what you might expect from a regular marker.
