STAEDTLER 364 A BK4D Textsurfer Classic Highlighter Bonus Pack - Assorted Colours (Pack of 3+1)

I've pretty much had it with cheapo highlighter pens; leaky, bleed through, smudging of printed text and no longevity being the main reasons. I have been buying the 'usual suspect' Stabilo Boss brand of late, which still suffers from the smudging problem and that's why I opted to give the Staedtler ones a chance. These cost exactly the same on Amazon on a box of 10, so there was little real risk involved in the purchase. And what a purchase it has turned out to be. These 'textsurfer' highlighters live up to the no smudging promise, both for my inkjet printouts (that I mark-up the most) and for a rollerball using quink ink on paper as well. A real result in fact, I was quite surprised at how good these actually are.Nice bright yellow. Zero bleed through on standard 80gsm printer paper. No smudging on either inkjet printed or handwritten with ink documents. No leaks. Nice tight fitting cap which stands no chance of dislodging in a drawer.Is there a downside? A small one, in that they seem to run out of juice a little quicker than the Stabilo ones. Maybe as a consequence of the chemical used, who knows? It's no biggie though, they still last far longer than the cheap ones and the benefits of a smudge-free document outweigh the slight longevity doubts.

These Staedtler highlighters are good pens and their ink has been developed for using over the ink of computer print-outs without incurring the dreaded smudging. They are good for generic use also and are more worth acquiring than those one's having a short life in the 'Never-mind-the-quality-pay-the-quid' shops. I wanted the blue based highlighting colours, as these are harder to come by separately, and the others will be useful when my present selection of those colours runs dry. I'm a pensioner who ( rather than suffering from memory loss can't be bothered to think about the more mundane stuff ) has this regime of signifying repeat events on my wall calendar ( company pension, state pension, green dustbin, grey dustbin, repeat prescription dates and collection days), marking out specific cycles of events with specific colours in one fell swoop at the commencement of each year. It works for me but I need to expand into the blue colours now as there are further repetitive events to signify of late. Yeah, life gets that exciting when you retire, whoopee !Eamonn

These highlighters are excellent, pleasure to use, tips work great both wide and narrow lines, and amount of ink is perfect - highlights the text but doesn't reduce readability overly.Brand is worth paying for if the quality goes with it - that's the case here.And for £3.28 - would be rude to say no :)

Staedtler are not the cheapest but you do get what you pay for.Decent price for a 6+2 (I use yellow more than any other colour).Worth it if you want decent lighlighters than last longer than a few weeks.

Purchased this as an emergency buy to replace my highlighters for Uni. I was really impressed with the price for such a large value pack, with a great variety of colours including the extra colours of the more popular choice. These are really easy to use and ergonomic, work great on paper or in books and fit nicely even in a small pencil case, with a good product life too. I would definitely recommend these for students or work.

For me this is a great brand as i like the fact that the nib stays in good condition for a long time - I have never had on this brand the nib fail before the ink runs dry. This pack was no exception to that. I have no issue in highly recommending this product. Andrew

For the moment I'll give them 5* and come back, to update, if they don't live up to expectations...as the Law of Sod kicked in.By which I mean i had need of a highlighter pen, couldn't find one, ordered this pack and then, one hour before delivery, found 2 perfectly workable highlighters down the back of my stationary drawer. Bum!

These highlighters are excellent, pleasure to use, tips work amazing both wide and narrow lines are good, and amount of ink is perfect - highlights the text but doesn't reduce readability at all really, I highly recommend these as an option of highlighter you should buy if this is something you need, i cannot fault them at all and even the price is good.
