tombo versus prismacolor

I use tombo pen markers to do watercoloring on my cards. I read somewhere
that prismacolor markers were better. But they seem to be permanent markers
which I assume means you could not use water to blend them ? Has anyone ever
watercolored with prismacolor markers ?

I am pretty sure that they have a blender pen to go with those as I bought it
by mistake for something else.

thanks Sharon, thats what I thought but wanted to be sure.

The prismacolor markers, I think, are alcohol based and they dry
almost instantly. The prismacolor marker blender pen is used for
blending traditional colored pencils. I don't believe they can be used
for any type of watercoloring. I love them though for shrink plastic
and coloring on the reverse side of a stamped piece of vellum. HTH

I use the Marvy LaPlume markers personally.
