Excellent Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color is very difficult to find unless you buy a full set of colors, which I did not need. My wife used it as a stain in order to touch-up scratches on her brown purse. She was very satisfied with the results.

I wish I could give it less stars
This marker didn't even work the length of one poster. I had 5 posters to do so it was really disappointing that it practically ruined one poster due to its poor quality.

Great Marker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I keep a big calendar in my kitchen to keep track of everything going on and menu planning. This marker was perfect to use so I could not only write with ease, but it is able to be seen from across the kitchen. It writes very nicely as well, because my calendar is hanging on the wall, and I can write what I need to wit...

works great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this Avery marks-a-lot permanent marker, large desk style size with a chisel tip in the color of purple and it works great, the color is really pretty. I use it to color in my coloring book and it doesn't bleed through the paper.

Great markers!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These markers are long lasting and great for dark markings. It doesn’t work like a basic highlighter, it’s more of a dark mark tool which is very helpful. It’s been very long lasting and great for my child to use

Great maker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This purple permanent marker works great! I love the chisel on the end of it to write anything you want perfectly. Just the right thickness or thinnest, however you want. The color is very pretty also.

Excellent marker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent marker. I am notorious for living the caps of of my markers when I put them down and this marker is very forgiving of that. I seem to always do this and can always pick it right back up and it’s just as fresh and moist as if I just took the cap off. The tip is precise and stays nice. The quality of this marke...

I like it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s permanent and mostly easy to write with the marker is a little thick for my small hands though. I love the beautiful purple color and it looks great on my scrap book paper. I’ve been using it for a while now with no signs of it drying up.

Marks-A-Lot is right!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent marker that remains dark on every use! I used this particular one for moving boxes! I really love Avery brand products and now I'm impressed with one more! I suspect I'll be purchasing the other colors of this permanent marker soon! 10/10 recommend!

Great marker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Marks-A-Lot has always been my favorite brand of permanent marker to use since I was younger. So when I received this marker I already knew that it would get the job done, and I love the marker in purple!

Bright
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This marker is super cool. The color is beautiful. It writes really nicely. The ink sets super fast so theres no need to worry about the color smudging or steaking from an accidental whip. Writes pretty much on any surface as well which makes this marker super convenient.

PRETTY & PERMANENT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] INSTEAD OF USING THE ORDINARY BLACK PERMANENT MARKER THE PURPLE MARKS ALOT REALLY STANDS OUT, IVE USED IT FOR MARKING FREEZER BAGS WITH DATES OF FOOD INSIDE & TO UNDERSCORE IMPORTANT ITEMS IN MY TEST BOOK.

Great marker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this marker a few days ago, and it works great. It works great on writing on boxes, Manila envelopes, and paper. It has a slightly strong odor but other than that the marker works great. The purple isn’t too crazy, it is just perfect. It works if you don’t want plain black.

I love having a purple marker, so used to using black on everything and this helps me mix things up in my home office. So important for me to stay organized, and this helps.
