Product Information

Full details

The BIC Brite Liner Grip Highlighter is designed for students, office professionals, and anyone who needs to mark important information clearly and comfortably. Its key benefit is the versatile chisel tip and comfortable grip that allow for both broad highlighting and fine underlining with ease. A potential caveat is that the super-bright colors might bleed through very thin paper, so testing on a sample page is recommended. This highlighter features a textured rubber grip, a dual-purpose chisel tip, and comes in a variety of fluorescent colors, all designed for comfortable and effective use.

FAQs

What type of paper works best with these highlighters?

These highlighters work well on most standard paper types like notebook paper and printer paper. For very thin or glossy paper, test first to avoid bleed-through or smudging.

Can I refill the ink in these highlighters?

No, the BIC Brite Liner Grip Highlighters are designed for single use and are not refillable.

How long does the ink typically last?

Ink longevity depends on usage frequency and storage. When properly capped and stored, the ink should last for a significant number of highlighting applications.

Are the colors fade-resistant?

The ink is super-bright fluorescent, designed for visibility. While designed to last, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight over extended periods may cause colors to fade eventually.

What is the purpose of the rubber grip?

The textured rubber grip is designed to provide extra comfort and control, making it easier to hold the highlighter for longer periods without discomfort or slippage.

How do I clean a highlighter if I get ink on my hands or desk?

The ink is generally washable from skin with soap and water. For surfaces, test a cleaning method on an inconspicuous area first. A damp cloth may be sufficient for minor marks.

Troubleshooting

Highlighter is not marking or is faint

Ensure the cap has been removed. If the marker has been unused for a while, try gently shaking it or storing it tip-down for a few minutes to encourage ink flow. Check that the tip is not clogged with debris.

Ink smudging after highlighting

Allow a few extra seconds for the ink to dry completely, especially on glossy paper. Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure when highlighting.

Marker seems dry shortly after opening

Verify the cap was securely replaced after each use. Prolonged exposure to air can dry out the ink. If it remains dry after secure capping, it may be defective.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable to hold and use for long periods due to the rubber grip.
  • Versatile tip allows for both wide highlighting and precise underlining.
  • Bright fluorescent colors make information highly visible.
  • Ink dries quickly, minimizing the risk of smudging.
  • Assorted colors are useful for organizing and categorizing information.

Cons

  • Ink may bleed through very thin or porous paper.
  • Chisel tip might be too broad for extremely small text.
  • Not refillable, requiring replacement once ink is depleted.
  • Bright colors, while useful, can be intense for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. Simply remove the cap and the highlighter is ready for immediate use.

Compatibility: Compatible with most paper types. However, test on a small, inconspicuous area of delicate or thin paper to check for ink bleed-through before highlighting large sections.

Care:

  1. Storage: Store with the cap on and the tip pointing downwards to ensure optimal ink flow and prevent drying out.
  2. Cleaning: If the exterior of the highlighter becomes soiled, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  3. Ink: The ink is permanent and quick-drying. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight when not in use.
