Besides being one of my favorite products out there, the Stainless Steel Sharpie Permanent Marker was one of my favorite reviews ever, but unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued while I wasn't paying attention. This is more of just a PSA that if you own one of these great items, you might want to stock up on a few refills (via Amazon) so you can extend the life of yours if you were lucky enough to grab one before they discontinued them. … [Read more...]
Sakura Microperm Ultra Fine Point 01 Pen .25mm
Not too long ago I wrote about the Uniball Signo Bit .18mm pen which brought up the point of super micro tipped pens in general. This quickly reminded me that I had this Sakura Microperm Ultra Fine 01 .25mm pen (via JetPens) and had yet to review it. … [Read more...]
Preparing to test Metallic Markers – Any Suggestions
I'm preparing a review of metallic markers and wanted to get some reader feedback in terms of possible tests and brands besides the ones pictured here and below. My purpose for testing these metallic markers is to see how they hold up on photograph paper for autographs, but I'm open to other testing suggestions so feel free to let me know your thoughts on anything regarding a potential test in the comments here. … [Read more...]
Staedtler Metallic Gold and Silver Markers
Today I want to take a quick look at the Staedtler Metallic Gold and Silver Markers (via Amazon). I guess this is more of a preliminary look rather than a full review because I realized a few days ago that I need to do a full review and comparison of gold and silver metallic markers. Its kind of a niche market, but in doing some research online I realized that there doesn't seem to be an agreed upon best in class solution in this area. … [Read more...]
Black Post-it Notes to Get Attention
I'm sure you have all seem some of the ridiculously artistic and amazing murals that people have made with Post-it notes, but I never really gave much thought to the Black Post-it Notes (via Amazon) and what they might be able to be used for. It had me thinking though, these might make a great and unique calling card to get the attention of people at work since the standard yellow, blue, green, and pink ones can pretty much go unnoticed at times. The … [Read more...]
Dry Erase Notebook The NUboard
I picked up this great looking NUboard Dry Erase Notebook from Jetpens early last year and just never got around to reviewing it because I thought I was going to have more need for it than I really did. In the foreground you also see a set of Staedtler Fine Point Dry Erase Markers that we reviewed previously and picked up over at Amazon. … [Read more...]
Staedtler Lumocolor Correctable Fine Point Dry Erase Markers
Just about every dry erase marker I've ever used was pretty thick, even the supposed fine point dry erase markers I've used would probably be the equivalent of about a 5 mm gel ink pen, and thats not "point five" mm, thats FIVE mm. They are just flat out thick, but then I found the Staedtler Lumocolor Correctable Pens (via Amazon) that are legitimate fine point dry erase markers that measure in at .6mm, yup, POINT 6 mm. … [Read more...]
Marvy Uchida Bistro Chalk Marker
A few weeks ago we reviewed the Black Glass Weekly Planner from Three by Three Seattle, that came with a white dry erase marker, and although the item itself was really cool, the dry erase marker that came with it wasn't that great. Today I've found a great alternative for it that comes in many colors, the Marvy Uchida Bistro Chalk Marker. Side note, for complete transparency, this item came from JetPens free of charge for this review. … [Read more...]
Follow Up – Write Dudes Metallic Permanent Markers
A few weeks ago we reviewed the Write Dudes Metallic Permanent Markers, and based on a comment /question from reader Joelle, I decided a quick follow up was in order. I'm glad Joelle asked the question which prompted this follow up post because it exposed something new about these markers to me that we never would have caught otherwise. … [Read more...]
Write Dudes Metallic Markers
During my usual surfing of Amazon.com for cool office supplies, I stumbled across the Write Dudes Infinity Permanent Metallic Markers, which is a brand I've seen at Target before, but never actually purchased. Because these sounded pretty cool, I figured I'd go out on a limb and order a set. … [Read more...]
Sharpie Neon Permanent Fine Point Markers
The brilliant folks over at Sharpie always find a way to innovate and spruce up the lineup when it comes to their always popular Sharpie Permanent Markers. This time around, they decided to take the standard pink, yellow, blue, green, and orange markers and turn them into Neon Sharpie Permanent Markers that fluoresce under blacklight. … [Read more...]
Bic Mark it Chisel Tip Permanent Markers
A few weeks back, the lovely folks over at Bic sent a bunch of products over for us to take a look at and review. Included in that package were these Bic Mark it Chisel Tip Permanent Markers, that are part of the Bic Mark it line that we have already reviewed. … [Read more...]
Sharpie vs Bic Mark it Permanent Marker Comparison
Not too long ago, a reader of the site asked if I could do a Sharpie vs Bic Mark it comparison. This sounded like a good idea since the Sharpie Permanent Marker and Bic Mark it Permanent Marker are the most popular markers available. I like the idea of comparing competing brands so I figured I'd give it a shot and hopefully give everyone some helpful information if they are looking to buy some permanent markers. … [Read more...]
Bic Mark it Permanent Markers
A few months ago I asked for feedback on some items that people would like to see reviewed. One of the items that I was asked about were these Bic Mark it Permanent Markers. In addition to a regular review I was also asked to compare them to Sharpie permanent markers. For now, this will be a stand alone review of the Bic Mark it markers. I've also got a few experiments in the works as I write this which will take some time to complete, so the … [Read more...]
