Love these Writes smoothly with Many uses

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these Staples Duramark Permanent Marker Fine Tip Red Dozen for free but the opinions here are based on my own experiences. This set of permanent markers will come in handy for work and school as well as home use and for fun. These have low odor. I couldn't smell them which is super nice. The ink flows smoothly but not gloppy. They write well. The color is bold. The ink dries fast which is nice to prevent smudges. Though some surfaces take a little bit longer. The ink lasts and stays on. These are very handy and a great set of markers. I will definitely keep these in mind when I need more. Definitely recommend.

Great pen for left handed people

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing pen! I received a box of pens (dozen) and I was excited to share with my family. As a left handed writer I am always looking for quality pens that dry fast and don’t smear - the ink quality was amazing! Nice bold crisp black and the tip was perfect for writing as it flowed smoothly. I am so happy there was no smearing of ink as I have been using these pens to take notes as I work sign permission slips outline a couple craft projects etc. it could bleed through paper if the paper is thin but love it otherwise!

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are great! They work very well and are very smooth to write with. I love that the box had a large amount of pens. The only con is the ink bleeds through paper.

Pretty good quality
on March 16, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The marker itself was perfectly fine. My issue stupid as it may be was the packaging. It was the first thing I noticed before I even used the markers. It opens "backwards" from what I am used to. It was just odd. Didn't impact the product itself but it was honestly the first thing I noticed.

Great permanent marker
on March 16, 2025
Posted by: L.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the color and boldness of this permanent marker. It has great ink quality and shows up well. It is fine tip but if writing small or too close together it does bleed and become a little hard to read. The 12 pack is great amount and will last for a while. I used it to make lists but can see using it to label items and boxes.

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.

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.
