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.

UltraFine Tip Black Markers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These markers are smooth and easy to write with. The ultrafine tips allow you to write in small clear letters without smudging. They come in good quantity and quality for the price. I use them on tape to label items and the writing came out clear and precise. I would recommend them highly.

Reliable marker
on March 15, 2025
Posted by: Maegenh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This box of 36 ultra fine tip markers is exactly what it claims to be. I have not had them very long so I can't say how long they write. But the tip is sturdy enough and doesn't dry out quickly. I can't speak to value but 36 is a lot of black markers. One complaint my child had is that if you write at an acute angle the tip doesn't make adequate contact and doesn't flow. So you have to hold it close to 90 degrees to the paper. The ink could be a little less strong. If you like using this type of marker in lieu of a typical pen you may be frustrated with the bleed. Otherwise they do the job.

Just alright

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can’t really say anything too bad about these pens. They write fine they definitely do the job. The ink really saturates the page then I’m writing so it’s not a blotchy mess or light and dark. They do bleed a little on thinner paper though. The felt tip is ok but not amazing. I tried them on various paper types and found they don’t really glide across paper they kind of catch at odd points while writing but that’s not so big of a deal. The box came with 12 pens so I will continue to use them when the need arises and they should last me quite a while.

Excellent ultra fine tip markers
on March 15, 2025
Posted by: T.R.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer ultra fine tip markers for card writing labels and outlines on drawings and these markers worked wonderfully. I noticed they are a richer black compared to the brand I normally use and stand out nicely on the page. I tried these on several surfaces (paper cardboard stickers) and all seemed to mark well without smudging. I’ll be using these to label boxes and painters tape for an upcoming move. Overall these are great markers and the 12 should hold me over for a while!

Red Markers for the Win

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've recently had the chance to try out the Staples Duramark Permanent Marker in red with the ultra-fine tip and I have to say I’m impressed. These markers are ideal for anyone who needs precise long-lasting marks without any hassle. The ink in these markers is excellent. It flows smoothly and doesn’t skip leaving behind consistent vibrant red marks every time. Whether you're writing on paper plastic metal or glass the ink is bold and holds up well even when exposed to light and moderate wear. It’s a permanent marker so you can trust that the markings won’t easily fade or smudge. The ultra-fine tip is a standout feature. It’s perfect for fine details making it easy to write small notes labels or create precise drawings. It’s ideal for situations where you need accuracy like labeling files writing on calendars or adding details to craft projects. The point is sharp enough for precision but still durable with minimal fraying even after extended use. The pack of a dozen is just right especially for frequent users. Having multiple markers on hand means I don’t have to worry about running out of ink quickly and I can keep one in various places (desk bag or car). Plus buying in bulk makes it more cost-effective than buying single markers. I’ve used these markers for a variety of tasks including labeling storage bins marking documents and making notes on folders. The ultra-fine tip is perfect for small spaces where a thicker marker would be too bulky. I’ve also used them for marking tools and cables and the ink has held up well even through some rough handling. Overall the Duramark Permanent Marker has proven to be reliable effective and a great value. The ink quality is excellent the ultra-fine tip provides precise control and the quantity is perfect for keeping a stock of these markers ready for all sorts of tasks. Whether you’re organizing your office or crafting these markers won’t let you down. Highly recommend!

Good option for permanent marker
on March 15, 2025

from Covington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall these markers get the job done. Based on appearance one would have expected the tip to be more fine. Ink also gives the impression that it could easily smudge or get wiped if touched soon after writing. I did not test the water resistance so I can't speak to that.
