FAQs

Are these highlighters safe for children to use?

Yes, they are manufactured with a non-toxic ink formula, making them safe for school and home use.

Can I use these on glossy paper?

Highlighters generally perform best on standard porous paper; they may smudge or fail to dry properly on glossy or coated surfaces.

What should I do if I lose the cap?

If the cap is lost, the ink will dry out quickly. You can temporarily store it in a sealed plastic bag, but it is recommended to replace the pen.

Are the casings actually made from recycled materials?

Yes, the plastic components are constructed using recycled materials as part of the brand's commitment to sustainability.

Can these be used for artistic underlining?

Absolutely. The chisel tip allows you to create thin lines, making them suitable for marking sections in planners or journals.

Troubleshooting

Highlighter seems dry or faint

Store the highlighter with the tip pointing downward for 30 minutes to allow gravity to pull ink into the tip.

Ink bleeding through pages

Use a lighter touch and avoid going over the same area multiple times, as saturated paper is more prone to bleeding.

Tip feels frayed

Ensure you are using the flat side of the chisel tip for highlighting rather than applying excessive pressure on the point.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile chisel tip for dual-purpose usage
  • Environmentally conscious design using recycled plastic
  • Non-toxic ink is safe for all age groups
  • Generous 10-pack provides excellent value and color variety

Cons

  • Ink can bleed through low-quality or very thin paper
  • Caps must be replaced firmly to prevent ink evaporation
  • Limited color range compared to specialist professional sets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These highlighters are ready for immediate use straight out of the box. No assembly or preparation is required.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cap Securely: Always snap the cap on firmly after use to prevent the ink from drying out. You should hear a distinct 'click' when the cap is properly seated.
  2. Storage: Store the highlighters horizontally or with the tip facing downward to maintain consistent ink distribution.
  3. Surface Compatibility: Best performance is achieved on standard copy paper or textbook paper. Test on a small, inconspicuous area if using on thermal paper (receipts) or onion-skin paper to check for excessive bleeding.
