Sleek Great Fine Tip Writes Well
on March 17, 2025
Posted by: M.T.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My initial thought was that the permanent markers have a very sleek look and come in a nice clean package. I like that it is a cardboard box and there is no unnecessary packaging. All the markers fit well inside the box. The permanent markers themselves have a very smooth feel and have a nice weight to them not too light and not too heavy. I also like that they have a clip to attach to paper a pocket etc. The cap clicks on securely and I never felt like the cap would come off at the wrong time. I like that the whole marker is blue because you know what color it is no matter if the top or bottom is pointing up. While using the markers I never felt like the marker was running low on ink. One box would last someone quite awhile if they are the only one using them. As a mother of three children I feel like I'm always needing to write names on folders water bottles backpacks etc. and these permanent markers definitely got the job done well. When writing the ink was very smooth and the fine tip gave a thin line. Once the ink dried the ink never speared or transfered to other surfaces. The marker tip stayed fine and did not break down like some brands I've tried in the past. My only complaint with the permanent markers is that when using on paper they tend to splatter ink a little causing almost a dusty look at some edges. The slight splatter is not enough to really notice if you're not looking close however I could see it causing problems it you were trying to be very exact with your lines. When writing on other surfaces I didn't notice any extra ink splatter. A very minor complaint and the only complaint I have with the permanent markers overall.

Permanent Marker that doubles as a pen
on March 17, 2025

from Brooklyn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think of permanent markers and I think of the bulky thick point markers that you can only use for signs. This Staples permanent marker has an ultra fine tip that I even use this as a pen for work or if I need to write something down. Unlike other permanent markers this has no odor … none at all! I would 100% order this again once my 12 pack is gone. It’s going strong for now - the ink quality is great I don’t need to press down hard at all. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an alternative permanent marker that is not bulky and can double as a pen!

Good for school projects

from Staten Island
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This marker is a great addition to my collection of markers. I homeschool my child and use a lot of markers. Using the fine point marker is just like using a fine tip is like using a regular pen. Your writing can still be small or whatever size you wish. The ink is okay and doesn’t come out messy. I used those markers to make study cards.. I like those markers. They’re good for the job and easy to handle even by smaller hands.

Great for Precision but Dries Out Quickly
on March 17, 2025
Posted by: Stephanie
from Vancouver
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These markers are super precise and perfect for detailed writing labeling and small projects. The ultra-fine tip glides smoothly on paper plastic and even glossy surfaces without smudging. The red ink is bold and vibrant making it easy to read. My only issue is that they seem to dry out a little faster than expected especially if left uncapped for even a short time. Otherwise they’re a solid choice for anyone needing sharp clean lines with permanent ink.

Great Fine Tip
on March 17, 2025

from Harbor City
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Staples Duramark Permanent Markers are solid. The ink quality is perfect! It's dark smooth and doesn’t smear easily which is exactly what I needed. The ultra-fine tip is actually ultra-fine not one of those that claim to be but end up too thick. It writes really clean and precise. The pack of 36 is a great deal so I don’t have to worry about running out anytime soon. I’ve been using them for labeling writing notes and they hold up well. Definitely worth it if you need a lot of reliable fine-tip markers.

Vibrant and Wash Resistant
on March 16, 2025
Posted by: J.K.
from Laguna Beach
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this permanent fine-tip red marker! The vibrant color is bold and long-lasting making it perfect for both art projects and everyday use. I’ve used it to label my kids’ clothing tags and it holds up amazingly well—even after multiple washes. The fine tip allows for precise writing and detailed designs and I appreciate that it’s non-toxic and low odor making it safe to use around my family. Plus its fade-resistant ink ensures that my work stays bright and clear over time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable high-quality marker!

Writes well but may leak
on March 16, 2025

from Argyle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Duramark Ultra Fine tip permanent marker writes smooth and has no noticeable odor (unless you intentially smell it upclose). Claimed to be non-toxic which is a plus when using to mark kids items. In my exprerince the tip did dry out after going unused for a fee days. Nothing a few flicks did not fix BUT when flicking did have an intance of the ink splateering on my desk so something to consider.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am an office supply junkie especially stationary and these markers have become my favorites! The ink is perfectly consistent and dark and I absolutely love that they are super fined tip! I have already recommended them to several people. Try them and you will not regret it is promise.
