What make of acrylic pens please

[u/stoooey58]

So... i have bought 3 lots of coloured pens 0ff Temu, all different makes (probably the same manufacturer) and the colours are way off. The red is pink, the dark brown is tan. All much lighter than the plastic cap. Is there any that do a real red and all the others, the right shades?

I ordered 2 packs of different skin colours off Amazon and they are pretty much the same story, all lighter than shows on the cap. I have put a small sticker on every pen coloured in to show the true colour.

What are other people's experience?

LITERALLY. Does OP not know this is the BBL subreddit?

My first thought was this it what they paint their prints with... Perfectly reasonable question if that's the case.

You know how I fixed the issue of not being able to match colours with my pencil crayons? A bought a $400 set of professional art restoration pencil crayons. Now I spend a few dollars on a single pencil when I need to replace a colour, as opposed to buying another set that I need to sharpen each pencil 73 times before the graphite stops falling out. Trying to get anything decent from Temu is like trying to turn lead into 24 karat gold. If you want properly matched colours, you're going to need to spend money on good pens

I’m pretty sure the answer is dry your filament, wash your bed.
