Pretty happy with these
on March 13, 2025

from Chicago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 36 fine tip permanent markers? Count me in! I love a good black fine tip marker and can never have enough. One of the top ways I use such fine tips currently is to label bags of frozen breastmilk. Permanence is important because the bags go in the freezer for up to a year. The date is important for baby’s safety. I used these markers for a few days and liked the feel of the pen in my hand and the feel of the tip on the plastic. I do feel like the ink could be more pigmented but I was still pretty happy with the product. Dried quickly and feels like it will last.

Rich dark ink
on March 16, 2025
Posted by: JenM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use a lot of fine liner tape pens because I think they make my handwriting look really best and pretty but the Staples DuraMark ultra fine tip stands out. The ink lays down a rich dark line giving my handwriting a bold crisp look that I absolutely love. It dries quickly and doesn’t smudge which is a huge plus. The tip glides smoothly feels great in my hand and makes everything I write look neat and intentional whether I’m jotting down notes making lists or doodling in the margins. A tiny downside—there’s a bit of bleed-through so I have to remember not to use these pens on double-sided paper likes my planner or annotations in a book. That said the quality of the ink and how great it makes my handwriting look more than make up for it. I’m not the only one who loves these pens—my daughters each “borrowed” a handful for school and their room. They love using them just as much as I do so now I’ll have to restock sooner than expected! Safe to say I’ll be ordering more soon. I had a 36 pack which maybe seems like a lot of pens but not when people love them this much! The ultra-fine version of this pen only comes in black. We’d love to see more colors in this amazing pen because if they’re anything like the black they’d be an instant favorite in our house! I usually buy whatever fine liner brand is on sale but this is a brand I would definitely pay more for. That being said they are super reasonably priced.

Smudge proof but fades
on March 16, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Duramark Permanent Marker is ultra fine and works well enough but I wouldn’t say it’s the best. I really like the ultra fine tip as it allowed me enough room to write in my small calendar boxes. As a student I use a lot of markers for notes and keeping my calendar up to date. I feel the ink quality could have been better. When writing mid way the ink starts to fade and then becomes dark again. It does seem smudge proof and didn’t smear easily which is a plus. I used these for writing some notes as well but again didn’t think the ink quality was the best. Another plus is the large annoy of pens that the box came with. I don’t think I’ll ever run out of markers at this point. Overall I would recommend this product for those looking for an ultra thin marker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am an office supply junkie especially stationary and these markers have become my favorites! The ink is perfectly consistent and dark and I absolutely love that they are super fined tip! I have already recommended them to several people. Try them and you will not regret it is promise.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are incredibly smooth to write with. The one thing to note is that they can bleed through cheap thin paper but do incredible work in my journals. I appreciate how much ink comes out with each press you don't have to press hard and or test it out before using it. I'm excited to use this whole pack of pens though it may take me a while cause they are so quality and a lot of ink.. I am sharing a photo to show the style of ink and the bleed-through but keep in mind I don't have good handwriting... and that is not the pen's fault.

from Monrovia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the pack of Ultra Fine Permanent Markers and I am thoroughly impressed with their performance. These markers write incredibly smoothly making them a pleasure to use for all kinds of projects. The ink flows consistently without any skips ensuring clean sharp lines every time. The ultra-fine tip allows for precise details perfect for tasks like writing drawing and labeling especially on smaller surfaces. The ink is permanent and resistant to fading so everything stays intact over time. Overall this pack of Ultra Fine Permanent Markers is a fantastic value. If you're looking for high-quality smooth-writing markers with a fine tip I highly recommend giving these a try. They're perfect for both everyday tasks and detailed work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using the Staples Duramark Permanent Marker ultra fine tip with black ink. They write very smoothly and the ink dries well. I use these permanent markers to easily label things like water bottles boxes or address envelopes. I can use these markers on many surface for multiple purposes. The markers are clearly labeled making it easy to find them in my kitchen or desk drawers. My kids enjoy using these markers as well as the ultra fine tip makes it easy to write with. Great product!

A durable daily marker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These markers are very durable have vividly black ink and offer superior coverage over a large area. I like these for marking items like folders labeling clothes and toys or coloring. These do show through thinner paper although I only experienced bleed through to the next page when I colored in a square. They can also bleed a little while you are writing spreading beyond your intended boundary. The point seems to be equivalent to a 08 tip marker although the staples brand bleeds a bit more. The photo shows a 05 marker then the staples marker then the staples marker in faster handwriting then a 08 marker in faster handwriting. The left square is the staples marker and the right is a 08. I found the staples marker to have faster darker coverage with almost no stroke lines visible. However as you can see it bled through to the page underneath. Overall I wouldn't recommend these for delicate work or thin paper but for heavy duty use these are fantastic.
