I used to do that all the time on posterboard using our Roland. I made my nephew 25 poster board sized coloring pages for Christmas one year.

Takes forever and cost a fortune in Sharpies.

It's not surprise that's being done on a kitchen table.

In a past life I used to do 3'x4' marker ads for Big Lots. The markers were basically chunks of felt in a plastic holder and the biggest marker was 3" wide.

About a 1 1/2 yrs ago, the Roland rep/service man here told me that some guys in I think Auburn, Al modified a Roland 540 to print on substrates. I would like to see what they did.

Markers have their place, but I wouldn't want to make a sign from them. Here are some of my doodles done forty years ago whilst smoking the evil weed.

Hey weasel, I used to do those too, for a local grocery store. Cant remember the name of those markers, but there were three of them to each color. One wide, one half size, and one regular. That was fun!
But a sharpie on a cutter on coro. Now thats unreal.... and crazy!

Yes, OP , I think those are it. The brand might be different, but they looked the same... And WOW, the fumes. I worked with those for a while and then they switched everything over to a waterbased ink system. I used to use a foam brush and mix my own colors too.
