Sleek Great Fine Tip Writes Well
on March 17, 2025
Posted by: M.T.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My initial thought was that the permanent markers have a very sleek look and come in a nice clean package. I like that it is a cardboard box and there is no unnecessary packaging. All the markers fit well inside the box. The permanent markers themselves have a very smooth feel and have a nice weight to them not too light and not too heavy. I also like that they have a clip to attach to paper a pocket etc. The cap clicks on securely and I never felt like the cap would come off at the wrong time. I like that the whole marker is blue because you know what color it is no matter if the top or bottom is pointing up. While using the markers I never felt like the marker was running low on ink. One box would last someone quite awhile if they are the only one using them. As a mother of three children I feel like I'm always needing to write names on folders water bottles backpacks etc. and these permanent markers definitely got the job done well. When writing the ink was very smooth and the fine tip gave a thin line. Once the ink dried the ink never speared or transfered to other surfaces. The marker tip stayed fine and did not break down like some brands I've tried in the past. My only complaint with the permanent markers is that when using on paper they tend to splatter ink a little causing almost a dusty look at some edges. The slight splatter is not enough to really notice if you're not looking close however I could see it causing problems it you were trying to be very exact with your lines. When writing on other surfaces I didn't notice any extra ink splatter. A very minor complaint and the only complaint I have with the permanent markers overall.

Solid Writing Tool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use permanent ink pens all the time for labeling products and making notes. This was a fun pen to try and had great results. No issues with smudging after use and a nice deep black color. My favorite was how fine the tip was for labeling products on our manufacturing floor with ease.

Good for school projects

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This marker is a great addition to my collection of markers. I homeschool my child and use a lot of markers. Using the fine point marker is just like using a fine tip is like using a regular pen. Your writing can still be small or whatever size you wish. The ink is okay and doesn’t come out messy. I used those markers to make study cards.. I like those markers. They’re good for the job and easy to handle even by smaller hands.

Gets the job done

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been currently using these to go over my kiddos work from school. I'm enjoying the ease of use and how well they glide on the paper unlike other fine tips that I'm always weary of ripping the paper with it's tips. These ones however work smoothly. The 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the fact that no matter how quickly you move while writing it seems as though it will create a large dot at the beginning and ending from where you originally put the pen down and then right as you finish to pull the pen up. Nothing that can't be overlooked I just know I'm the type of person that will sometimes set the pen on the paper and then think for a second before writing anything which in turn causes large dots on the paper. The attached photo shows quickly writing something and you can still see the dots. Otherwise overall I will continue to use them and enjoy the ease of not ripping anymore paper work fine print thanks to these.

Fantastic Permanent Marker
on March 16, 2025

from Newark
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The blue ink from the permanent marker is bold and bright. The fine tip allows for precision however the base is wider. The quantity of the box seemed like more than enough for my needs. This permanent marker does stay on fingers but comes off with vigorous handwashing. I used these markers for making flash cards to study for a college class. The ink is fantastic because it is permanent and it did not smudge at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These markers from Staples write beautifully! They can definitely hold their own compared to any other name brand marker. I like journaling and these markers make the process extra enjoyable. The ink does not bleed and the felt tip writes so smoothly. I highly recommend these markers to anyone who appreciates good quality writing utensils.

Vibrant and Wash Resistant

from Laguna Beach
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this permanent fine-tip red marker! The vibrant color is bold and long-lasting making it perfect for both art projects and everyday use. I’ve used it to label my kids’ clothing tags and it holds up amazingly well—even after multiple washes. The fine tip allows for precise writing and detailed designs and I appreciate that it’s non-toxic and low odor making it safe to use around my family. Plus its fade-resistant ink ensures that my work stays bright and clear over time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable high-quality marker!
