STABILO Highlighter BOSS ORIGINAL - Pack of 8 - Assorted Colors

After buying these, I think I'm going to switch over to them from Mildliners. I normally have seen one book cause my Mildliners to dry out. These, on the other hand, are not messing around. I was able to highlight five dense books with these highlighters, and have only noticed mild wear. I expect that these will last me through another five books. When comparing this to Mildliners, I think that it's only fair to mention that this makes sense, since there's a lot more room for them to hold ink because of their large barrel. They have only bleed through one book, which has really thin, poor quality pages - I have no idea how this would hold up to, say, Bible paper. However, the bleed is not as bad as the Sharpie highlighters, and I have adapted to that one book by just simply highlighting much faster and with a lighter hand, which has worked. Literally the only thing that I wished for when using this was a fine tip, which is the only thing that scores a point for Mildliners. Seriously was impressed - colors are great, the manufacturing is of high-quality, the tips are not likely to dry out, and they're really comfortable and easy to use. I will be buying these again, potentially in a wider array of colors.

cute colors, thick

I came across these highlighters on a round up of best office supplies from around the world. When I saw these, I realized I could make good use of them in school. I like their compact size, which will make them easy to tote with me as I mostly use these to mark up PowerPoints while my professor is lecturing. The colors are different from the usual neon colors which are pleasant to me. The quality of the mark is well and they feel good in the hand.One odd thing to point out, at least for the package I received, pulling the cap straight off is nearly impossible. If you twist a bit and pull off at the same time the cap removes easily. This is probably good so the cap doesn’t fall off easily.I did have one complaint but it isn’t enough to warrant removing a star as it isn’t the product but the shipping. The markers come in a handy little plastic case, which I intended to use to keep them organized in my backpack. However, during transit, the corner of the package was roughed up and is now cracked. Still usable but will likely break at some point. I may try to tape it together but maybe I just need to get a pencil pouch.All in all, I’m glad I purchased these highlighters and I know they will get lots of use in the coming years while I complete nursing school. The compact size is great and the colors are lovely.

The colors are great, especially the muted yellow shade, as opposed to the generic "neon yellow" which gets really tiring to look at. I had no idea how nice this shade of yellow would look until I put it down on my Midori MD notebook (A6).Note re: Midori notebooks and grid-style journals: the height of these tips are just the right length to fill a grid row in these type of notebooks as well.

The colors are so pretty and they last long and I love using them for school. They do bleed a little bit, but it’s not that bad. Definitely gonna buy some more in different colors!

Paper used: Five Star Loose Leaf.Pen used: Zebra Sarasa Mark ON 0.5, Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Hard Tip, Zebra Mildliner.+ Pros:- The color is easy to see as they don't have the "neon" affect compare to Zebra Mildliner- Easy to hold, tight cap,..- Can use to highlight books without smear.- You can use brush on it but have to wait about 10 sec for it to dry completely.+ Cons:- As you can see in the photos attachment, it does ghosting and bleed through paper if you use thin paper or paper lower than 100 gsm.- It does smear if you write down first and then highlight them, I recommend to use them for books only or highlight first then write down.+ Overall:- 8/10- Very nice to use but compare to Zebra Mildliner, it has fewer shades as how the price works.- When I opened the packet, it was quite dusty on the caps.

These are beautiful highlighters in soft, tranquil colors. The highlighter fits well in the hand and is easy to use. This style of highlighter has been around for a long time. I am happy that they haven't changed it. The highlighters last longer than other "mild" highlighters. This is a reliable brand and I love the colors.

Works like they should and bonus points for being cute
