Staedtler Textsurfer Classic Highlighter Pen - Blue

They are good highlighters but...you can find better, where I live, you can buy all of em for around $2.00 or even just 1$ they are also mini ones , they are too pricey here even thought its not.

This is my fav highlighter and color to highlight super important topics. I also use orange and yellow for the general stuff. I highly rec b/c it doesn't smear with printer ink, the flat shape of the highlighter is actually a good thing, and its high quality, it should last a while for you versus other brands!

Note: color isn't red...its more of a mix btwn red and orange which is actually easier to read with black font

The color is the classic highlighter-yellow, and as advertised doesn't smear over ink-jet printing. The cap is secure when closing the pen, but a little loose when placed on the end of the pen (in active use).

I also bought the little pot of refill ink, but I haven't needed it yet, after several months. It seems to last a long time, probably due to the chubby barrel.

I like the flat shape -- easier to control when marking text.

So these are the reasons I have abandoned the other highlighters in my desk. Too bad -- I have some nice Mildliners and Staedtler highlighting pencils, but I this one is the one I use all the time.

As a highlighter, this product did what it needed to do. None of the ink or print smudged as I used it. Being advertised as copy-proof, however, I was disappointed when all the documents I scanned at work using this highlighter were blacked out in the places where I'd used it. The turquoise is amazing, but stay away from purple if being copy-proof is a big deal for you.

So far, it's lasting and it doesn't smudge the paper!
