Not an A plus

Posted by: Shod
from Mount Kisco
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the red permanent marker with ultra fine tip box of 12. They have a bit of a retro look and feel to them like one my dad would use 30 years ago. The metal clip has not fallen off (yet) although I could see it snapping if you fidget with it. The cap stays sturdy in place and when you put it back on there is that satisfying click. The ultra fine tip is a perfect size. However the ink does not apply to paper well unless you write very slow and keep the pen meticulously perpendicular to the paper. Checking a box probably wouldn’t be impacted but even a short phrase doesn’t look right if writing casually. I received these permanent markers as part of the Stellar Review product testing program.

LOVE this pen
on March 13, 2025
Posted by: H Drizzle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive always loved a permanent marker but most are too thick. This pen was marker quality but in pen form and I absolutely loved it! I found myself continuously reaching for this pen. It has a good tip- ultra fine but bold enough to stand out. The ink quality was also very good- I used it multiple times a day and the ink never ran out. The quantity in the box was plentiful! One doesnt need some many red pens so I put some away for future use. The amount sold would be good for an office setting. I would have liked a multi color pack of these; this marker did not bleed into the paper and I could see myself using it on a regular basis as my everyday pen! I used these markers in various ways: to write important dates on my family calendar on food labels for the the freezer to edit some papers and I even liked the pen so much I used it to take notes! These type of markers usually have a lingering smell that gives me a headache and Im happy to say there was no smell after use! A big win for my sensitive nose. Overall I was highly impressed and likely to buy repeatedly.

Red permanent markers

from Braselton
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall these red permanent markers do their job. They have a nice fine tip and are easy to write with. I like that. It was a 12 pack as it gives me the option to store one in different places for when I need them as far as the red color in my opinion it comes out as more of a orange which isn’t necessarily a problem for me but something that’s good to know before purchasing. So far I have not had any issues with the reliability of these markers and would recommend them to someone who’s looking for a moderately priced permanent marker.

Good ink ability good coverage

from Camarillo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are nice- they write easily and have good blend ability. They ink in almost a slightly orange red and dry a nice dark red. Doesn’t smear but does bleed through my mixed media sketchbook paper. These don’t smell and I do love that the whole marker is red- so in case it goes upside down or is in a drawer- it’s easy to see what color.

Nice Marker depending on what you need

from New York
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The marker with the fine tip is nice to write with. It's nice to mark paper with. It writes smoothly. The ink comes out very nicely on the page if you space out your words otherwise it will blotch together. If you're marking up regular printer paper it will leak through the page to the next page. If the tip was thinner the ink will likely not stain the page as much but it really depends on your use case and what you're using the marker for. If it is to write this marker is not for you. If you're grading papers this might be the one.

Eh just ok

from Vista
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found these pens to be middle of the row just ok. The fine tip is super fine but it seems to run out of ink quickly. These pens might be good for light writing like check marks but not for writing notes or other more lengthy comments.

from Greenback
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't seen red sharpie used much in the last 20 years and I don't know whether to call it nostalgia or something different. I take a lot of notes and it's nice to be able to highlight an area on the page with red sharpie to refer back to later. The ink quality and feel of the marker is great. I don't know how long the ink will last but it's still going strong. It will take me a while to work through this pack.
