What Is a Sharpie Highlighter?
A Sharpie highlighter is a marker that contains a bright, fluorescent ink that allows you to add a line of color over printed text, as well as handwritten notes from a pen or pencil, while still being able to see the words. Most Sharpie highlighters have a chiseled tip with a flat end, which is best for highlighting lines of text, but there are also varieties with bullet-style tips that are broader and rounder.
What to Consider When Buying a Sharpie Highlighter
Sharpie markers are a ubiquitous product for homes, offices and classrooms, but their highlighters also include a variety of helpful features for everyday use and special projects. Keep these factors in mind when you purchase a Sharpie highlighter pack:
- Ink Type - While traditional ink is the most common choice, there’s also gel ink, which glides more smoothly across the page and is less likely to bleed through.
- Color - Sharpie highlighters come in a variety of colors. Lighter colors work best for reading text. A Sharpie highlighter 4-pack typically includes yellow, pink, blue and green options. Other colors like purple and orange are also available.
- Quantity - If you use a highlighter frequently, it’s a good idea to buy a Sharpie highlighter pack. Bulk packs come in quantities of up to 36 highlighters. This is especially helpful and economical for offices and classrooms.
- Thickness - Thinner barrel types are easier to control, but thicker barrels are more comfortable to hold, reducing the potential for hand cramps.
- Size - If you like to carry highlighters on the go, mini sizes are available so you can easily tuck a few in your pocket, purse or backpack.
How Long Do Sharpie Highlighters Last?
The lifetime of your highlighter largely depends on how much you use it, so there’s no official guideline on how long your Sharpie highlighter will last. Thicker, full-size highlighters last the longest, however. Keeping the cap securely on your highlighter will help to keep the ink from drying and extend its usage.
