Sharpie® Accent® Pocket Style Highlighter, Micro Chisel Tip, Fluorescent Green Ink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sanford is one of my most often used office supply brands and I have a collection of markers from this company for many uses. This particular style of marker is nice mainly because of its thin design. Even when compared to other "thin" highlighting markers, this one is thinner than most, with a thickness that makes it similar to gripping a pen or pencil.

This marker uses fluorescent ink and this makes for a bright, shiny mark that is easy to see and is pleasing to the eyes. There is virtually no smearing with this highlighter. The ink dries within seconds and about the only way it will ever smear is if you intentionally try to smear it. I experimented with it myself and it was basically dry and incapable of smearing in about two seconds. The only way it will smear is if you immediately rub it after it has touched the paper. This is why, like I stated, this marker is basically smear proof.

The mark left by this marker is anywhere from one to three mm, making it a good choice when you need to highlight smaller text (no more than, say, sixteen point font). But it isn't very useful when you have a large amount of text to highlight. This is why it is so important (if you highlight very frequently) to have several different highlighting markers available. Some are good for specific tasks but not good for other tasks.

These markers leave a nice, easy to see, colorful mark on white paper and certain other colors of paper, provided there is sufficient contrast. But you need to make sure that you stroke the marker slowly across your paper when you use it. If you move too quickly, the ink will not flow out at a sufficient rate and the color will not be even. You need to move the marker at just the right speed to get the best results. A few practice strokes and you will understand where I am coming from.

This marker uses non- toxic ink and while it is possible to get it on your clothing, it is only a problem if your clothing is light in color (you won't even notice it on dark colored clothing). If you stain your shirt, don't worry- this ink washes off easily in regular soap and water. There is no need to pre- treat the stain. It should be gone by running your clothing through a normal wash and rinse cycle.

Overall, this is a decent highlighting maker from Sanford that gets the job done but doesn't really offer anything special. These markers do not have a fancy, easy- grip surface and they are very utilitarian in appearance. But they do offer a nice, shiny light green color and they are inexpensive, too. They make a good choice to add to your highlighting marker collection.
