Arrtx Acrylic Markers: Which Set to Buy (36, 60, 90, 120 and 150 Colors, Dual Tip, 3mm and Jumbo)

Quick Answer

For a first set of Arrtx acrylic markers, start with the Direct Liquid Ink line: 36 Colors ($36.99 on arrtx.com, regular $46.99) or 60 Colors ($51.99, regular $62.99). Both use a 1–6 mm brush tip with “Automatic ink control”; you shake before use but never press the nib. If you would rather uncap and draw with no shaking at all, choose a no-shake brush set: 60B Anime Colors ($49.99), 90A or 90B ($65.99 each), 120A Anime Colors ($84.99) or the new 150 Colors ($104.99)—Arrtx's line for these is “No Shake. No Press. Just Start Creating.” Choose the 64 Dual Tip set if you want a 3.2 mm brush and a 1.9 mm fine tip on every pen; the 48-colour 3mm Medium Tip set for hard, even outlines on rock, wood and glass; and the 10-colour 15mm Jumbo set only for large fills. Arrtx describes the ink in all of these sets as water-based; the practical difference between sets is the ink system and the tip.

The Four Arrtx Ink Systems, Explained

Arrtx sorts its acrylic paint markers by structure on arrtx.com: Cotton-Core, Free Ink System, Valve System and Top Valve System. This matters more than colour count, because it decides whether you shake and pump before drawing.

• Cotton core (Arrtx lists 120A, 150, 90A, 90B, 60C, 30A–30D, 30 Grey Tone and Metallic 30): Arrtx calls 90A a “cotton core series with even ink output” and says of 120A: “No Shake. No Press. Just Start Creating.” The 60A and 60B brush sets are also uncap-and-use (“Open and use”), though Arrtx does not tag them as cotton core. Store caps tight and pens horizontal; Arrtx's FAQ suggests resting a dry cotton-core marker nib-down for 24 hours.
• Free Ink System / Direct Liquid Ink (36 Colors, 60 Colors, 30 Dopamine): liquid ink with “Automatic ink control”; Arrtx says to shake first but the design “eliminates messy pressing.” Arrtx's FAQ says to store direct liquid markers flat, not cap-up.
• Top Valve, Simptap (48 and 36 Colors): you press a button on the back instead of the nib—“no need press pen nib to avoid wear and tear”—and watch the ink through a window. First use: press the top valve 4–5 times.
• Front Valve (3mm Medium Tip and 15mm Jumbo sets): the classic paint-pen action. Shake, then press the tip down until it fills. Arrtx: “basically one press of ink will meet your needs” after the first use.

Which Arrtx Acrylic Marker Set Fits Your Project?

First set or a gift on a budget: the 36 Colors Direct Liquid Ink set is the lowest-priced full set here, and the 60 Colors version is described as “60 highly saturated anime colors.” Arrtx says the design “gets rid of the wear and tear on the pen tip caused by pressing.”

Anime, manga and illustration: 60B Anime Colors is the value pick in the no-shake brush family; 120A Anime Colors doubles the palette and ships in an anime-themed gift box with a free coloring guide, per Arrtx. The 2026 150 Colors set is the largest, with a 1–6 mm nylon brush tip and a storage case with a slot for each marker. The 90-colour sets sit in between: Arrtx sells 90A and 90B (Landscape Colors) at the same $65.99 on arrtx.com; the Amazon 90-colour listing linked here does not name the series letter, so check the colour chart on the listing.

Two tips on every pen: the 66 Colors Dual Tip set (new for 2026) pairs a 4.0 mm tip with a 2.9 mm tip—Arrtx describes “a soft brush tip and a fine tip”—and holds 1.8–2 g of ink per nib. Its arrtx.com page conflicts on priming: one line says “Pre-use shaking required,” another says it “requires no pressing or shaking,” so shake it if in doubt. It was sold out on arrtx.com when checked.

Lettering, journals and cards: the 64 Colors Dual Tip set puts a 3.2 mm brush on one end and a 1.9 mm fine tip on the other, so outlines and fills come from one pen. Arrtx calls it “a new version of our 24 colors set and 32 colors set.”

Rock painting, wood, glass and outlines: the 48 Colors 3mm Medium Tip set uses a hard round tip, 6 g of ink per pen and includes five replacement nibs. A 72-colour version ($61.99, regular $75.99 on arrtx.com) comes with 34 replacement tips.

Murals, signs and big backgrounds: the 10 Colors Jumbo set has 15 mm felt tips in white, black, yellow, orange, pink, red, blue, purple, green and brown. Arrtx also lists a 12-colour 10 mm Jumbo set.

Skin tones and portraits: the 30C Skin Tone set ($29.99) is a cotton-core brush set with a 1–6 mm line range; Arrtx says it passed “both ASTM D 4236 and EN71 tests.” Arrtx also sells single acrylic markers for $1.50 each to replace a colour you use up—minimum five pens per order.

Acrylic Paint Markers vs Other Markers: What to Expect

• Acrylic markers are opaque, so light colours cover dark surfaces; Arrtx describes its ink as high coverage and water-resistant or permanent when dry.
• They layer and mix while wet. Arrtx's FAQ: “You can mix colors with acrylic markers before the paint dries.”
• For outdoor or washable items, Arrtx recommends sealing: “spray sealant after drying.”
• Colours look different on each surface; Arrtx asks you to make your own swatches.
• Several Arrtx set pages (for example 30C and the 3mm Medium Tip set) say the product is not suitable for children under 3.

Checks Before You Buy Arrtx Acrylic Markers

1. Match the series letter, not just the count: 60A (regular colours), 60B (anime colours) and 60C (landscape colours) are different palettes, as are 90A and 90B.
2. Decide whether you mind shaking and priming: cotton-core, 60A/60B and 64 Dual Tip sets do not need it; Direct Ink, Simptap, 3mm and Jumbo sets do (so does the newer 66-colour Dual Tip set: “Pre-use shaking required”).
3. Sale items may not be returnable on arrtx.com: its policy says “we cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards.”
4. Compare the arrtx.com total (shipping depends on order value; see the coupon page) with the live Amazon total at checkout.
