[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These permanent markers are a great choice for anyone looking for a wide tip colorful marker. There is a great variety of color and they are bright and vibrant. The color doesn`t run or bleed. Again the tip is wide so please keep that in mind.

Interesting colors & very think tip

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let`s start with the tip (thickness) - I tested the regular markers first then tested the permanent markers. My expectation was the permanent markers would be the same thickness and smooth writing. To my surprise it was more link a note pad markers and not whiteboard quality. It is super thin and had to go over a few times to make it think on the board. If the intention is to use it on the notepad then I don`t need a permanent marker for that the regular one will do. If this is for the whiteboard I might need a bit thicker tip for regular use. This thin tip might be for the artists or special uses not for me.Then the colors - quite surprised by grey color to see it first. On a whiteboard this is not the most desirable color. But I do have a mini blackboard at home (for fun quotes and reminders) and it looked decent on that. Still I think this color is a waste on a permanent marker line.Light Green and Dark Green are so close and I barely found any diff between these 2 colors. Same with light Blue and Dark Blue. Slightly better than greens but the colors were so close together. From the Eggplant purple color I was excited to see a similar cue inside as well. but I was a bit disappointed that it`s a brown color instead. Overall holding in my fingers smoothness and flow was great but not for a white board.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The marker was considerably better than some other larger name brands in my opinion. I liked the diverse color options and it did not noticeably smudge after use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these markers because the colors are really vibrant and pretty. I like that the point of the markers write almost like an ink pen. The point helps you create the fine detail that you need.The squareness of the markers will make them stand out from others.

Missed the `Mark`

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The feel of these permanent markers can best be described as cheap. Compared to a Sharpie the barrel is slender and lightweight more like a pen and less like a marker. The tip felt stiff when writing with it and felt like I was carving into the paper as opposed to drawing on it. The colors were consistent as you used it without white gaps where no ink was applied and coloring in an entire area did not produce the `markered in` look of some other brands. The barrels are a rounded square which keeps them from rolling off the table but is unnecessary with a cap that has a clip on it. The barrel lacked the comfort grip of the highlighters which produced a noticeable difference in comfort during use. Depending on your usage these may work better for some but for me they are not even close to Sharpie in both quality and comfort.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these permanent markers. I love all the colors available and I like that they write bold and smooth! They feel good to hold and are easy to hold in your hand.
