Excellent precision and quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Duramark Permanent Markers have an ultra- fine tip and are perfect for detailed writing and drawing. The black ink is bold and clear. I love that they’re non-toxic so they’re safe for all kinds of projects. The only downside is that they tend to bleed through thin paper. Otherwise I highly recommend them!

Ultra fine and ultra sleek

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mom of 3 PTO President Cheer Coach...I always need to label something. First of all the ink quality is amazing...consistent smooth and dark but while it's labeled "ultra-fine tip" I didn't feel it was as skinny as it could have been. I however do think it's a good tip for labeling items since it's dark and thick enough to be read. For example the tip is fine enough to fit a long name on the bottom of a water bottle but not too fine that I can't read it. I have 30 of them and keep them in various places- notebooks folders the kitchen- and even hand them out to friends. I'm very happy with this product!

Nice permanent marker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this permanent marker. I always look for an ultra fine tip and this Staples Duramark is nice and thin. It makes it easy to write clearly on things that need permanent ink with no smudging. The ink flows well and looks good on paper and plastic zipper bags. The ink feathers a bit on thin printer paper but that doesn't matter as much since I don't use permanent markers on printer paper. This marker works great to label bags of food to put in the freezer and is also perfect for labeling boxes for storage. Having a dozen in a box makes it easy to stash one in every area you might need a permanent marker like a kitchen drawer or in the garage. Definitely recommend!

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a bunch of permanent markers around the house and I use them for labeling everything. From freezer meals to kids clothes tags I mark up everything and use the different point thicknesses. I like the thicker ones for the freezer bags and donation bags and then I use ultra fine pens for the kids’ clothes and water bottles. I really really really like this one for the water bottles. I use the waterproof labels and for some of the markers the writing will smudge when you put on the clear top layer. Some of the other markers I have are too fine point. This one seems to be in between the ones that have and I think it’s perfect for the water bottle labels and the clothes! This will definitely be my go-to!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The marker tip is thin and works a lot like felt tip pens. I used it on papers and it didn’t bleed through to the next paper but you could see it through the paper. Overall a good quality permanent marker with a thin tip.

Staples Ultra Fine Permanent Marker

from Burns
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Staples Duramark Permanent Marker Ultra-Fine Tip markers do the job well! I used this marker more to write in larger lettering on craft paper rather than in smaller detailed writing. It provides a decently-fine font and glides easily. It has slight ink-bleeding but nothing that makes the writing detail messy at least for the use I need it for. I have been able to use one marker for a couple weeks without it running out of ink yet but it is not used on a daily basis. I often feel like fine-tip permanent markers tend to dry out easily but the quantity of this 36 pack will cover that problem if it comes up yet. This pack would be great for classroom or group use. I have been pleased with this marker greatly so far. I did a side-by-side with another ultra-fine tip marker. The other may be ever-so-slightly more fine than the Staples one but if able to get a comparable marker for less than name-brands I always consider that a bonus. Overall if you want a nice ultra-fine tip permanent marker in bulk of 36 these would be a good option to consider.

Permanent Duramark Ultra Fine Tip Red

from Gilbert
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these permanent markers! They write so smoothly and have a great ink consistency. The color is a pretty standard red and dries very quickly without mess. I think the box will last me a very long time but I’m excited to use them in the months to come! I would recommend these to friends and will use them in the classroom to grade papers as well.
