Probably one of the dumbest reasons I've ever bought a product, but I liked the package and I thought one of the highlighters looked like they might be red, so I grabbed these Zebra Optex Care Highlighters like a dummy. Not to say they aren't good highlighters, but its just a plastic box and the one highlighter definitely isn't red, more like peach. Anyway, before we dig into the review, here is where you can grab a set for yourself on Amazon. … [Read more...]
Sharpie Clear View Stick Highlighter
Initially I had almost passed over these Sharpie Clear View Stick Highlighters (via Amazon) because I already reviews the more stubby body version, but upon a closer look there is a little bit of a design change in this stick version that is worth pointing out. … [Read more...]
Sharpie Blade Highlighter Three Tip Sizes in One
The Sharpie Blade Highlighter (via Amazon) is yet another entry into the crowded highlighter market. In the case of the Sharpie Blade Highlighter though, it has a somewhat unique tip that sets it apart from most of its other competitors. I say "most" because I don't think anything really rivals the innovative Sharpie Clear View Highlighters that we recently reviewed. … [Read more...]
Sharpie Clear View Highlighter
The new Sharpie Clear View Highlighters (via Amazon.com) are designed with a clear window built into the tip so that you can actually see what you are highlighting as you highlight it.

Fader Vanishing Ink Highlighter
So here is a product from Quirky that I've been following and influencing for a little while now. It is a pretty cool highlighter that is being designed in a way that is beneficial to college students that want to sell their books back and earn more money. Its called The Fader and is a highlighter that will have special ink that disappears after a fixed amount of time, like 6 or 12 months, pretty cool, right? Now is your chance to influence exactly how … [Read more...]
Uni Promark View Highlighter with See Through Tip
The Uni Promark View Highlighter was a new item listed over at Jetpens that almost escaped my attention, but I'm glad I ended up taking a closer look at it when browsing their site. This highlighter is the first one I've ever seen that has a little window (7mm x 7mm) built into the tip that lets you see right through it to the text that you are highlighting. … [Read more...]
Moleskine Highlighter Pencil Set
Today we have some Moleskine Highlighter Pencils to take a look at, which I am pretty sure are recent additions to the Moleskine line. I don't remember seeing them until recently, but I could be wrong. The set consists of two pencils with one cap and a sharpener, as well as some small stickers that can be put on the top of the cap or the long flat side of the body. You wont see the stickers pictured in this review because to be honest, I lost them...I … [Read more...]

Smudge Proof Highlighters by Avery
These Avery Smearsafe Hi-Liters are smear resistant highlighters that come in four standard colors, yellow, pink, orange, and purple. At first glance when I saw these highlighters I was not immediately impressed because quite honestly, the packaging and the design of the highlighters themselves look a little bit older, but when I saw that they were supposed to work well with ink jet print, I was sold. … [Read more...]
Pen and Highlighter in One: Bic Duo
I've been meaning to review this Bic Duo Highlighter for a while now, but Amazon only had them in bulk quantities so I kept holding off on buying som. I finally gave in and picked up a pack of them because I was so curious to see how they worked. Lets take a look at Bic's pen and highlighter in one and see if there are truly any efficiencies gained by combining these two writing implements. … [Read more...]

Sharpie Accent Liquid Highlighter Review

Inkjet Safe Highlighters – Staedtler Textsurfer Classic
Inkjet Safe Highlighters are hard to come by, but these Staedtler Textsurfer highlighters make that claim, and on top of that they also claim that the violet and turquoise highlighters that come in this set remain visible when photocopied. Pretty impressive claims, and if these Staedtler Textsurfers stand up to them I'd say thats a great qualification to be considered for the cool office supplies category that I try to focus on reviewing here. … [Read more...]
