Impeccable Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These fine tip permanent markers work so well. The quality is impeccable. They are easy to hold and have a nice feeling between my fingers. The marker glides across the paper and writes very nicely. The bold black ink shows up well. The fine tip is just the right size so that the print is not too faint but not too thick either. They are perfect for all sorts of uses. I enjoy labeling everything with these. I love how many pens are in the box! They will last me a long time and I can put one or two in every room or location that I will use them.

Great fine tip marker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Duramark Ultra Fine Tip Permanent Marker in red ink is a very nice writing utensil. I use it mainly for list-making and everyday writing but I have used it for some fine marking on intricate artworks as well. It works best for me while writing more slowly and when I try marking fast the ink is not as smooth of a stream. There are more breaks in the line like the ink can’t come out as fast. It’s a good red color and the ultra fine tip is an excellent size for careful precise writing. The pen overall has a nice feel and the clip attached to the cap is sturdy and helpful for keeping it attached to my spiral notebook. I would recommend this 12 pack of markers to anyone who needs a dependable writing instrument. I will definitely be purchasing these in black as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Duramark Permanent Markers are excellent rich vibrant blue ink that writes smoothly and lasts without fading. The fine tip provides precise clean lines making them perfect for labeling note-taking and detailed work. With a dozen in the pack they’re a great value and a must-have for any office or home workspace.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These work very well. They have a great fine tip for writing as well as for use in art or coloring. It writes smoothly and brightly. No smearing or running of the color which is great. It has a smooth grip and is easy to hold for writing or drawing.

Quality marker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed these markers more than I expected! They did a great job staying on very smooth metal services… I used them to label bottles of saline spray which are very smooth and have no texture and weeks later there is no smudging or fading. They also write well on porous surfaces like paper without too much drag which means their tips are all still in good shape. The all red bodies of these pens make it easy to know what I’m grabbing from the marker bucket which is also a plus! This was a fairly larger pack than I’d typically buy so I can’t say how these markers will work in a few months once I’m at the end of the pack but I’ve been very pleased with their performance so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great permanent markers true blue color and these have a finer tip than some of the other markers out there. You can make it thicker when writing by changing the angle of how you write. I use these for assorted labeling and highly recommend.

I can actually read my own writing
on March 14, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a child with a medical condition that requires A LOT of food labeling. I am constantly reaching for tape and a permanent marker to identify what I've made and other nutritional info for safe feeding. I was struggling between using the usual wider tip markers to avoid bleeding ink and regular pens for labeling small jars. This ultra fine tip is the best middle ground. With wider tips my letters and numbers would sometimes smoosh into each other becoming illegible. Regular ballpoint pens had the correct width needed for small labels or labels needing a lot of information BUT I would have to go over each letter and number several times in order for the whole thing to show up. It was annoying and time consuming. These ultra fine tips dispense ink smoothly and allow me to write small enough to fit all the info I need onto one label. Everything is clear and dark enough where I don't have to bring it directly under a light to actually see what I've written (or move out of a shadow or reflection). So food label making is A+! I used the marker to write a note on printer paper and there was a bit of bleeding but not terrible. I made sure to put a protector (I used a magazine) between the paper and my counter just in case and I'm glad I did because though I didn't see any ink left on the magazine the paper was definitely marked through to the back. I would use it again for this purpose but would likely choose a pen if both were sitting in front of me. I haven't used it for this purpose yet but I could also see this as a perfect marker for labeling kids jackets snow pants etc. The ultra fine tip would be really helpful here especially when including a phone number on something like a backpack label. At first 36 seemed like an excessive amount of markers to buy all at once. After using them they quickly found their way into our office junk drawer kitchen kids backpacks and even my purse! I'm not sure how long they will last as I've only been using about a week but I like having many so that I can easily access for the myriad reasons I can think of to put them to use! I'd say 24 would have been just fine but 36 feels luxurious and I appreciate having backups to a product that quickly became a staple in our house.
