Unique color and consistent performance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love finding a dark permanent marker color that is not black--this navy color is dark enough to label items clearly but the blue looks more stylish. The smell is strong but not atypical for permanent markers. The color lasts and the tip allows for clean expressive writing. I would definitely buy again.

Comparison to Name Brand
on March 16, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use fine point permanent markers on a daily basis in my workplace. This brand was a budget option to replace my more popular name brand markers. These markers are fine point enough for my liking they do not smear. My favorite part is that they do not leak and make a mess inside the cap like others. If I could change one thing about this product I would make the grip of the marker a different texture as it is a bit slippery.

Great for labeling

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These markers write clearly due to the fine tip though the line is still thick enough that I’d use it for labeling or small signs rather than everyday writing. The ink flows smoothly and dries quickly a plus for us lefties who are constantly smudging marker lines. However the ink does bleed through standard printer paper so could potentially leave ink stains on your writing surface.

Great versatile markers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these markers! Being ultra-fine tip but also permanent is SO handy for me because it means I can write more in a smaller spot. I use them for labeling homemade baby food containers which often include multiple ingredients in a small container so it’s really helpful to be able to write smaller than with a standard tip permanent marker. The ink quality is great and there are never any skips or light spots. Having 12 of them in a pack is helpful because I am always losing pens and markers and this allows me to keep multiple markers in several places in the house and keep at least one in my purse and car. In addition to making baby food they are also really helpful for creating a bolder font on our weekly family schedule making it easier for all to read. They’re truly the perfect blend of a pen and a marker. Highly recommend!

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.

Ink doesnt smudge even for a leftie
on March 15, 2025
Posted by: S.B.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are amazing. I’ve been using them primarily to write on a glossy calendar (see photo) and others pens and markers either smear right away or don’t show up well. These pens write beautifully and even for this leftie they don’t smudge. The ink dries a little bit more grey-looking than a thick black marker but I don’t mind that. It doesn’t bleed through to the other side of the paper either. I love the fine precise tip and the fact that I don’t have to press hard at all while writing. These pens are completely dreamy.

Smooth marker

from Danbury
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These markers worked much better than expected. They wrote smoothly and had a nice point to them. The only downside I felt was they were a bit more orange than a red color like I expected.

Great markers

from Lancaster
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These markers are great! My family really loved the fine tip which made them perfect to use for labeling items. We enjoy writing little notes to each other and the red ink was high quality and really popped on paper. Of course a few got misplaced around the house so I am glad that the box contained 10.
