Love these pens
on March 18, 2025

from Lutz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are just as good as the name brand ultr fine point pens. The tip is truly very fine. The ink is dark and comes out smoothly. As to the permanence I splashed water all over a page of scribbles and the ink stayed put. If you let your pen’s tip rest for more than a second or two it will start to bleed through the page but all these types of pens do the same. Not good for little kids. The quantity and quality are great when compared with name brands. I use these pens to jot down notes during meetings make marks in margins of books and make grocery lists. Multi-functional! Easy to read your notes when you write with this pen.

Crisp line

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the ink quality it is bold and dries quickly! After writing with it I immediately ran my finger over it and no smudging at all. I mostly used these for marking freezer bags and on cardboard. And occasionally on paper. For an office setting the quantity would be great 12 is probably a bit too much for regular at home use.

Great fine tip permanent markers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens were great - the ink dispensed smoothly there was never any “bleeding” outside the lines of letters and the ink dried quickly when applied to non-paper surfaces. I’ve used other brands of fine point permanent markers before and these are a great alternative option. We recently went on vacation and I brought along a pen to use for the disembarkation tags provided for luggage when leaving a cruise and it worked great! The ultra fine tip made it easy to write clearly in the small spaces provided on the tag.

Nice markers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice quality markers! These are great for marking documents and also great for drawing. The fine tip was helpful for detail. They do bleed through papers which was expected. The ink color was nice and bright!

Look Ma My Hand is Clean

from Lexington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m left handed so one of my biggest concerns is smudging as I’m writing. As you’ll see below the side of my hand is clean once I finished writing on a variety of surfaces using the Staples Duramark Permanent Marker. The only smudge I had was a little transfer on my fingertip after running my finger over a plastic sign IMMEDIATELY after quickly writing. But on that same type of sign counting to 5 resulted in no smudges! Another thing I really appreciated is that writing on a freezer bag resulted in no transfer of the white label box onto the marker tip. While I don’t think it’s ever a great idea to write on regular paper with a permanent marker (other types are better for that purpose) I tried it with the Duramark anyway. It doesn’t bleed excessively through budget printer paper. Overall I’m very pleased with the Duramark Permanent Marker. The body isn’t bulky or awkward. The marker tip maintained its shape well. Any lefty can tell you those are big deals because we often have an unconventional pen grasp and can put a lot of pressure on a tip. If you’re looking for quality vibrant low smudge and low odor permanent markers I can confidently recommend the Staples Duramark Permanent Markers.

The best marker

from Brunswick
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these markers. The color is vibrant and they are smooth to write. I use them to mark student papers without smearing or bleeding as well as for labeling things. This is the first marker that I have used on a plastic bag with zero smears or buildup on the tip.

Writes like silk

from Lebanon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t expecting much while writing with these fine tip markers but I was pleasantly surprised. A beautiful flow from the tip left a great message without bleeding to the paper underneath (other than where the tip was held on the paper)

from Santa Monica
[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.
