FAQs

What is the stroke width of these highlighters?

The chisel tip allows for a variable stroke width between 1mm and 4mm.

Is the ink permanent?

No, these use a water-based ink, which is designed for standard highlighting and is not intended to be permanent.

How many highlighters are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 12 highlighters.

Can these be used on glossy paper?

Water-based highlighters may smear on glossy or non-porous surfaces; they work best on standard office or textbook paper.

Does the ink contain harmful chemicals?

The markers use a standard water-based ink formulation safe for typical office and school environments.

Why is the clip on the cap useful?

The clip allows you to secure the highlighter to a shirt pocket or a binder, ensuring you always have it within reach.

Troubleshooting

Highlighter feels dry or produces faint lines

Cap the pen tightly and store it tip-down for 15-20 minutes to allow ink to flow back into the nib.

Ink is bleeding through the paper

Use the highlighter with a lighter touch or apply it to higher-grammage paper stocks to minimize soak-through.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile 1-4mm line width for different highlighting needs
  • Reliable ink flow thanks to water-based formula
  • Practical pocket clip for portability
  • Generous 12-piece pack size for long-term use

Cons

  • Available only in orange, limiting color-coding options
  • Water-based ink may bleed through very thin paper
  • Cap must be stored securely to prevent ink drying

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These highlighters require no assembly. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, always replace the cap immediately after use until it clicks. This creates an airtight seal that prevents the water-based ink from evaporating. Store the pens horizontally in a desk organizer; storing them vertically for long periods can cause the ink to settle at one end, potentially causing an uneven flow when you go to use them.
