Sharpie Gel Highlighters, Assorted Colors, Smear-Resistant, Bullet Tip, 5 Count - No Bleed, Won't Dry Out

Best highlighters ever. No smudge. Smooth, no leakage or bleed-thru

This are my favorite type of highlighters. These gel highlighters don’t bleed through and glide nicely on paper. I love the colors.

These Highlighters are a must have for fellow pastors and church goers. These in my opinion are the best Bible highlighters. The regular highlighers bleed too much and if you're like me you use different colors to highlight passages of scripture.and the colors are bright and bold! The issue with a lot of the highlighters specifically marketed for Bibles is that they are all pastel colors. These are great because there is no bleed and bold colors. I will admit that it takes time to get used to the feel of a hell highlighter but they are truly amazing.

I’ve used most of (8 brands altogether) the different gel highlighter brands because I am a college student and avid Bible reader so I highlight a LOT and on different types of paper. I LOVE that gel does not smear the words being highlighted, go through the paper, dry out when left uncapped, and have a steady flow that stays a consistent color; yet the downside to some gel highlighters are that they can be flaky and smear across the page. But not the sharpie brand! As long as you use normal pressure this brand will use a consistent flow and color without flakiness! The colors are bright considering it’s wax gel and perfect for my needs. It won’t fade or turn a funky color overtime either! Sharpie has also made the gel highlighters more of an oval shape so they won’t roll off the desk, which is more of a plus than I even realized! The rounded tip took a bit of getting use to but I just use one side of the tip at first and then it wears it down to a “sharper” tip that suits me best. I noticed some comments about these not being gel but they definitely are made gel instead of ink like traditional highlighters are made of. It’s a combination of colored gel and a wax like substance that contains the gel and allows the color to be distributed evenly. For me I think the only downside to the Sharpie Gel Highlighters is just that I use them so often that I go through them so fast! But all good things eventually come to an end and then you just go out and buy a new pack ;-) A refill pack would be cool to have but that’s the only thing I could think of as an improvement to these ;-)

I just love these gel highlighters. After I retired, I forgot most things existed that I had in my workspace (I purged my brain of all work related items, LOL). Luckily, I saw these in my feed and snapped them up. The colors are so perfect for my needs and the pen itself holds up for a long time, even with the cap off. They have never smudged any pen I use them with and they are visible on pretty much everything. These are a great addition to my binder and cash stuffing routine.

I usually do not write reviews....so busy, but hope this will be helpful to fountain pen users. I surely would have loved to find a review on these guys. I use fountain pens. I just love them. They even make writing a check an enjoyable experience and, no matter the obstacles the modern world is creating to fountain users, I will never renounce to writing with a fountain pen. So said, one of the problems to resolve is the factual impossibility to use any of the highlighters on the market because they dissolve the water-based ink of the fountain pen producing unacceptable smears. I have learned how to get around this problem in several ways, but never stopped keeping an eye open for highlighters for fountain pens. Recently, I found out from fountain-pen-chat-room that Sharpie (which I like a lot) was making a gel dry highlighter. Had to tour three Staples before finding the one carrying the Sharpie gel highlighter and only in fluorescent yellow. I fell in love with the first use: no bleeding, no smearing! The next step was coming to Amazon and see what other colors were available and buy all of them in doubles (we never know should they disappear!). My taking about the Sharpie's gel highlighters is the following. At all effects, they are wax-based pencils that have been make transparent, thus they work as highlighters. You have to get used to the waxy feeling that will be especially evident if you highlight big pieces. I do not mind it and I actually appreciate that there is no leeking on the back of the page. Colors: the vibrancy is provided only by the fluorescent yellow gel highlighter. No other color is "fluorescent." However, I like the orange a lot: it gives a definitive accent and it distributes well. Pink is a strong color/accent, but do not distribute very homogeneously, while green and blue are pretty weak colors and also not distribute not very homogeneously. Use and results: if you keep in mind that you are using wax-pencil equivalent - which is what these gel highlighters are - you will not be disappointed by the waxy feeling, the not overly homogeneous tract, or that they will produce fragments if you push them hard enough: all of the above are properties of wax pencils, i.e. they are not defects: the Sharpie gel highlighters works as they are supposed to do. Very easy to use, will not dry if left uncapped, will not bleed on the other side of the paper no matter how thin or cheap that is. They are not very precise since the tip is round and large. Because of the transparency, making a smaller and sharper tip may not be feasible. In any case, if you take your time you will keep within the lines otherwise you will not. Overall I love them and I am so very happy that Sharpie is making them: they are not perfect, but neither is any other highlighter. At the end, you'll have to decide what to use for doing what you want or need doing. I want to highlights agendas, journals, personal and work notes written with fountain pens and using water-soluble ink. For me the Sharpie gel highlighters are great and resolved a major problem. I have been using them extensively for more than two weeks now and I am more than pleased: I am thankful!

Like theses markers alot. Great for Bible highlighting.

I really like Sharpie products. What I needed for my office. Work great.

Están padrísimos, en mi caso los útilice para papel tipo cebolla (hojas muy delgadas) y fue muy bien ya que no humedece de más como corría el riesgo de que se rompieran las hojas. Si eso es en algo delgado el resto de los papeles son bah.

Using these is like driving a vintage car, any other highlighter feels too modern and fake.

When I first opened them I was a little disappointed. I thought they were too thin and I wouldn’t be able to highlight just a single line of text. Then I tried one and wow. My fears were unwarranted. Best highlighters ever.

I love how these don't bleed what is written or bleed to the other side of the paper.

I am a student with books with thin pages and traditional highlighters (the ink ones) kept going through the pages. I had some crayon style highlighters that came with a bible study pack so I started looking for gel highlighters for my school work. These are great and work very nicely on glossy pages as well, though they aren't as bright. They are more expensive, but I feel they are worth it as my textbooks aren't getting stained on the other side.The yellow, orange and green are florescent and are my favourites, while the pink and blue are more muted. If I were to get these again I would get the 3 pack ones, but I don't regret this at all. They also twist up but there isn't that much in them. They arrived quickly. If I had to critique this, they aren't the most precise as the gel part is quite big and cumbersome, but I use the edges so it isn't too bad. Also on first use, the caps were a bit hard to remove, so I'd open them at home where people won't see you trying desperately to open a highlighter cap.
