Great Hyper Yellow Highlighter
on April 24, 2025
Posted by: A.B.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty nice super hyper yellow highlighters. The first thing I noticed was definitely how nice and bright that yellow is. It stands out very bright. Definitely lives up to the "hype"! I liked that they are thin and lightweight making it easy to use and maneuver. It also has grooves near the tip of the handle where you grasp the highlighter to give you better control. The chisel tip is about the size you'd expect for a thinner -- not bulky -- highlighter making it practical and versatile. It might surprise you if you’re used to bigger thicker highlighters as it took me a second to adjust my idea of the tips I am used to. It was a welcomed difference though! I was able to highlight typical sized sentences with ease and not looking like a huge blot of ink surrounded it which is typically what I don’t like about highlighting. I don't have the best pulse but even then it was easy to maintain straight lines that hugged words nicely. What's great is a was also able to use the tip of the chisel end to underline very thinly (the #3 on the photo). This was the best feature of the highlighter the ability to use the wider chisel side to highlight full words but still have the ability to underline very finely! Usually not something you can do with normal sized highlighter tips which never look neat. That combined with the hyper yellow it's a nicely versatile highlighter. It came in a set of 12 which are plenty to keep around the office or home. I’ll be using them on books which is why that fine chisel tip is just perfect! Definitely recommend.

Perfect Study Tool

from Montebello
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was initially nervous about trying the Staples Hype Tank Highlighter in pink because it looked a bit large and I was worried it wouldn’t be precise enough for studying. Thankfully I was completely wrong! I used it while preparing for school and the chisel tip was perfect—it let me highlight both wide sections of notes and smaller more detailed text with ease. The color is vibrant without being too bright and the ink glides on smoothly without bleeding through. It’s now one of my go-to study tools—I’m so glad I gave it a try!

Lovely highlighters

from San Jose
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These highlighters are great! They have a bright pink vibrance and easy flow. They give just enough liquid that it covers any highlighting portion well without over saturating it so that it leaks through the page. The color is beautiful and these are easy to use. Even my 3 year old can use them and loves them!

Vibrant but bleed
on April 24, 2025
Posted by: A.P.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are very vibrant which I love and color smoothly. They feel nice in. Your hand and definitely make what you are highlighting stand out. Only complaint I have is that these bleed through paper pretty badly. They bled through not only the backside of my page but down to the page underneath it as well. I assume the more you use these the less that will happen but I haven’t been using them long enough yet for that to be the case. The first page looks great but it makes the next page messy. Other than that though they are great.

Great Highlighter
on April 23, 2025
Posted by: A.K.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First impression of these highlighters are they are very bright and don’t fade to a dull yellow like other brands. The ink flow was perfect and the chisel tip is very firm. I’ve used these in my classroom with my students highlighting their work and also used them for my college classes doing my own homework. The tip is still firm and held its chisel shape even after multiple uses. I would love to see this same highlighter in different colors. The brightness of the highlighter was what I liked best and hope to see other colors just as bright.

Solid Highlighter but Smears
on April 23, 2025

from Carrollton
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This highlighter is a great addition to my stationery collection. The bright yellow color stands out clearly on the page and I really appreciate the comfortable grip—it makes long highlighting sessions easier on the hand. I also love that it's shorter in length than most conventional highlighters which makes it perfect for tossing in a travel bag or pencil case without taking up too much space. The only downside is that it does tend to smear my pen ink a bit even if I wait a few minutes for it to dry. It’s not a deal-breaker but something to keep in mind depending on what kind of pen you're using. Overall a solid and handy highlighter!

Versatile and bright highlighters
on April 23, 2025
Posted by: Carrie
from Marble Canyon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Staples Hype Stick Highlighters are a must-have for anyone like myself who loves to organize notes and emphasize important information! This 12-count pack has been great for distributing around the house into various laptop bags work stations and purses to always have one on hand. The chisel tip is versatile allowing for both broad strokes and fine lines which is perfect for different highlighting needs whether I'm reading a book or working on a printed document for a presentation. I really appreciate how smoothly these highlighters glide across the page without any skipping. The ink is incredibly bright and dries quickly so I don’t have to worry about smudging my writing which is a huge plus. The only thing I have to keep them from being five stars is bleed resistance on different paper. I found no issues of bleeding on typical printer paper but had significant bleed through on several different books. Overall Staples Hype Stick Highlighters provide excellent quality and very vibrant color. They’ve become an essential tool in my organization for work and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to brighten up their notes or make studying more effective!

Bright but smudges ink
on April 23, 2025

from Junction City
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These highlighters are very bright and pigmented but smudged every single line of text on papers I printed. I love a great chisel tip marker but the smudging was a no for me.
