Copic markers drying out???

[Tracee619]

Has anyone had any problems with using the markers and they seem to be drying out....
I am going crazy! At $5- $6 bucks a pop they seem to be pretty pricey to dry out so quick.
If anyone has any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong or where I can find refill ink I would love to hear it.
I love coloring with these..but am getting frustrated!:confused:

I've only had mine for about 3 months now, but they seem to be okay. I would make sure that the caps are all on tightly, because the alcohol ink evaporates very quickly due to the alcohol base. I'm probably not much help! Sorry!
