Quickly Bleeds but Otherwise Solid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a teacher and love that you can get a 36 pack of these Staples Duramark Permanent Markers! The pen produces a smooth and consistent line as long as you don’t pause while writing it. It has a very fine tip but seems to bleed and create circles rather quickly. While I can handle this issue my high schoolers were less than pleased by how quickly their straight line turned into a line with spots where the excess ink quickly came out for a minor pause. While I am not as precise as some of my students I had no problems using them. We were making photos for younger math students and my attached photo is what I was able to draw.

Nice Fine Tipped Marker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve never used a marker with such a fine tip. It looks nice but it does bleed a little because it is still a marker. It’s a nice dark shade of black. I would definitely share these with my family and friends. Also it has a strong permanent marker smell.

Great Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These permanent markers work great! I used them for a variety of tasks including gift tags labeling children’s items for school arts and crafts labels for file folders and other daily writing. I use some of them in my home some at work in a school and I keep one in my purse. My husband is also planning on using them for his drawings. The ink dries quickly and stays in place. So far they have all worked great and lasted well. I think the box of 36 will last us for quite some time! I will definitely buy this brand again when we need more.

Smooth writing ink didn't smear and pens didn't leak on my flight. A WIN.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would use these for the right price but I don’t love them. They are odorless to me which I LOVE. But for a fine tip I feel like they are not as controllable for writing. They don’t smear or bleed into the paper so that’s good! They are the right size for me to label packages but too big for writing cards and too small for labeling storage boxes. Honestly what makes me not love them is the way my fingers slip on the spot where I would normal hold a similar marker. (See photo.). But I will still definitely continue to use these as I received them as a member of Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our family has been loving these markers. They have such a great blue color and the fine tip is high quality. The fine tip was great for writing and also for kids art projects! Great value and quality.

Great Value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having used these for a short time I think that they’re pretty good! The ink comes out enough to visibly see what you’re writing and not enough that would cause excessive bleeding through papers or smudging. The markers don’t have a strong odor like some other brands. The fine tip of the pen allows for good precision with writing while not being too thin. The marker itself is a no frills marker which fits comfortable in hand and doesn’t have any grips or fancy additions. The cap has a satisfying click when you detach and reattach the marker so you can audibly know when the cap is on/ off. The marker cap clip seems a little flimsy but may be sturdier than it appears… longer term testing would probably needed to test and review durability of these markers. Lastly the box comes with 12 of these so I anticipate they’ll last quite a while but only time will tell!

Pretty Good Marker
on March 12, 2025
Posted by: M.W.
from Dulles
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found these to be pretty good all-around markers for tons of everyday uses around the house. I used them to label foods write quick notes to family members and make various lists. They were comfortable to hold in my hand and for the most part wrote very clearly. Sometimes the ink came out a bit to fast and on some paper it did bleed through a bit. I'd like them to be a bit more fine but that may be more of a personal preference and less of an issue with the marker itself. Overall I'm happy to have these in my drawer at home.
