This set of highlighters...

Verified Purchase
This set of highlighters is great, but a bit smeary.
When opening it up, I loved the cute little case it came in. It's very
convenient to carry around since I don't have to fish around for all my
highlighters in my case. The colors themselves were not what I were expecting.
The green and blue were fantastic -- my favorites out of the bunch -- but the
pink, orange, and yellow.... They did their job, but the colors were brighter
and not as muted as I quite wanted. Pretty ordinary, which was disappointing.
But my main issue for these is that they smear fountain pens. Don't get me
wrong, if you use gel or ballpoint you will have no trouble. But even after the
fountain pen ink (I used a Platinum Preppy fine nib on a Maruman Mnemosyne)
completely dried, after being exposed to these markers they smeared dreadfully.
So be careful! I'm not disappointed in my purchase -- it does its job, after all
-- but as I love using my fountain pens, in the future these will probably be
relegated to secondary status. If I had known, I'd also have chosen a different
color set -- perhaps the cool-toned -- as the colors for that set seem more
unique.
