Copic Ciao markers are the entry point into the Copic system: they deliver the same alcohol-based inks and the same quality of result as the higher ranges, in a more accessible format. Like all Copics, they are refillable and their nibs are interchangeable, which means they can be used long-term without replacing the entire marker when the ink runs out or a nib wears down. The brush nib allows for expressive strokes and fluid flat areas, while the fine nib suits detail work and outlines. The colours are fully compatible with the entire Copic range, which means starting with Ciao and adding Sketch or Classic markers over time without any break in the palette. They are the preferred choice for students in design and illustration, and for anyone who wants to explore the Copic technique without committing to the full range from the start.
