Mr. Pen- Aesthetic Highlighters, 12pcs, Chisel Tip, Vibrant Colors, Bible Highlighters and Pens No Bleed

★★★★★ I have been very impressed with this set of Mr. Pen pastel highlighters. Rather than the extremely bright fluorescent colours of conventional highlighters, these have a much softer, more muted appearance which I find considerably nicer for notes, reading and general study. The set of eight also gives a good selection of distinct colours without becoming excessive. Build quality For relatively inexpensive stationery, these feel well made. The plastic bodies are lightweight but don't feel particularly flimsy, and the caps fit securely. I also like the compact, rectangular design: they are easy to keep together in a pencil case and, unlike completely cylindrical pens, are much less inclined to roll off the desk. The chisel tips have been another strong point. They feel sufficiently firm to maintain their shape rather than immediately becoming soft or frayed. Having both the broad face and narrower edge of the tip makes them considerably more versatile than a simple broad highlighter. Ease of use and performance These are extremely straightforward to use. The broad edge gives a good, controlled highlight across ordinary lines of text, while turning the pen slightly allows the finer edge to be used for underlining, smaller writing or more precise highlighting. The colours are probably their greatest strength. They are noticeably softer than standard neon highlighters, but still provide enough contrast for highlighted text to stand out clearly. This makes a real difference when highlighting quite heavily: a page can contain several colours without ending up looking overwhelmingly bright or making the original text difficult to read. They are particularly well suited to colour-coding notes because the eight shades are sufficiently different to assign different meanings or subjects to them. They also make handwritten notes, planners and journals look considerably neater than conventional fluorescent markers. The ink lays down smoothly and I have found the overall result clean rather than excessively wet. As with any highlighter, performance will vary according to the paper being used, and I would always test an inconspicuous area first on exceptionally thin or absorbent paper. Value for money Considering that there are eight different colours in the pack, I think the value is very good. This is one of those products where the presentation could easily make it feel more expensive than it really is. You get a useful range of colours, versatile chisel tips and a design that is both attractive and functional. For students in particular, a single pack provides enough colours for quite an elaborate system of colour coding without needing to buy several separate sets. They are equally useful for books, revision notes, planners, journals and general office work, so I think most people will get plenty of use from them. Minor drawbacks There are a couple of small points worth mentioning. Firstly, anyone who specifically wants extremely bold fluorescent highlighting may find these too subdued. The pastel effect is intentional and is actually why I like them, but it does mean that some of the paler shades are less conspicuous than a traditional yellow or orange highlighter. Secondly, the exact appearance of each colour naturally changes depending on the paper underneath it. On cream or very thin paper, for example, some shades can look slightly different from how they appear on bright white notebook paper. That isn't really a fault with the pens, but it is worth bearing in mind. Finally, although the chisel tip is excellent for ordinary highlighting, anyone wanting very fine annotation will still need a separate fine-liner or pen. Overall A very successful set of highlighters. They combine attractive pastel colours with genuinely useful chisel tips, a practical design and good everyday performance. I particularly like that they emphasise text without dominating the entire page, which makes them much more pleasant for extensive note-taking and study than very bright fluorescent alternatives. The minor limitations are really consequences of choosing a pastel highlighter rather than faults with the product itself. For the quality, variety and usefulness of the eight-colour set, I think these offer excellent value. 5/5 – an easy recommendation if you prefer clean, understated highlighting rather than harsh neon colours.

These highlighters do exactly what I wanted them to do. The colours are lovely, the pigmentation is good, and they don't bleed through the page, which is important when you're annotating books or study materials. The truth is, I didn't actually need any more highlighters. I simply wanted them. After buying Mr. Pen's tabs, I found myself looking at the matching highlighters and somehow convinced myself they belonged in my basket too. I'm starting to think Mr. Pen has mastered the art of making stationery lovers spend money they never intended to spend! My only criticism is the colour selection. This is purely personal preference, but I would love the option to buy separate colour palettes. I'd happily buy a set containing only blues or only purples. The current sets include pinks, which I know many people will love, but they're colours I rarely use. Overall, these are excellent highlighters that perform well and look great. Just be careful, one Mr. Pen purchase has a habit of leading to another.

Very good quality highliters. I work as a classroom assistant and the kid I work with loves using them for her schoolwork. I use them to hilight important notes in my notebook as well. They smudge some pen inks and pencils but they were made for hilightinf bones so I can't fault them for that. Good quality and very pretty colours

I purchased these for my bible.. test the colours before you try them as some come a lot darker. They are lovely colours, I get no bleed through and they’re easy to use. The thickness is perfect for highlighting small words in books. Overall they function really well.

Love them I have brought 4 packs now, so good for annoting books as do not bleed and are nice soft colours. Great value for money, easy to hold and the tip is the perfect width to highlight the words.

I originally bought these because I specifically wanted a grey highlighter, and this set was one of the few that included one. I'm so glad I did! The colours are beautiful, soft, with a nice range of pastel shades. They work really well, don't bleed through the pages in my bullet journal. They also feel nice to hold and look very cute. A small thing that made a big difference was the lovely message included in the package from the company. It was an unexpected touch and genuinely brightened my day. I'm going to buy some of the other colours and would definitely recommend them.

Beautiful colours. No smudge. The best. Dry instantly. Mr Pen are always great value.

Shouldn't say bleed proof for bibles as they do bleed through so im disappointed , not bleed resistant , nice pastel colours but false advertising, will have to use very lightest of shade to use for now, but will look else where for better ones. Have shown lightest shades on back of page that I tested :(

Rubbish pens. They ALL bleed through! If you need markers for thin bible paper that actually do not bleed though, get the Zebra Mildliners. Way better.

Very nice highlighters to use, colours are beautiful but they bleed through Bible pages.

Excelente, amo as cores vibrantes. Uso na minha Bíblia e não passa para o outro lado. Super indico

Nice, kids are happy. Increase writing interest.

These are great, i can’t wait to use them!
