I can not read my writing through the "highlights".I like the retractable design in a of a range of colors, but it was not executed with proper highlighting ink.

First of all, the new retractable design seems to be a complete success.

Love the retractable design, but they ran out more quickly than I expected

The retractable design is nice too since you don't have to keep up with the caps!

Very clever design... wonder why no one did this before.

I love the variety of colors that they come in and use them for everything!!!

Very vibrant colors and the variety of colors is great!!

All of this bums me out because I love having such a variety of colors

unfortunately, they bleeds through thin papers such as the bible page or recycled newspapers.

I love having a variety of bright colors to highlight with

THESE ARE AMAZING AND WORK BEAUTIFULLY FOR A GREAT PRICE!!

Very good variety, good price, shipped fast, good quality

The colors are great, the price wasn't that bad, they come in a case for easy traveling.

I use these all the time and I like the fact that they are retractable and they were a very good price.

Bright colors, great price and the ease of the retractable head was a pleasure to use.

Sharpie always makes a great product, and these are no different!

It was over my expectations and the product is excellent and on time !

They are not terrible products but they are not my cup of tea

And, as you'd expect of Sharpie, it's a good, reliable product

I highly recommend this product to anyone who uses highlighters

I like these sharpie because they are like ink pins, so easy to use and I like the varities of colors that they

Sharpie promises the no smear promise, which I am very happy about

We love these Sharpie highlighters and love that they are retractable so they are easy to use.

Sharpie promises the no smear promise, which I am very happy about

I love my colors and sharpie is never a let down purchase

Good quality, love that they retract

These markers are a great quality, they are small highlighters so good for tight spaces and very pigmented

Very poor quality

unfortunately, they bleeds through thin papers such as the bible page or recycled newspapers.

They have nice colors and have a good quality in writing

unfortunately, they bleeds through thin papers such as the bible page or recycled newspapers.

It would have been nice if the retractable feature was less noisy, especially if you're studying in a public place, but nevertheless, i would purchase this again.

Good variety of colors, the retractable feature is a MUST

Great variety of colors and the retractable feature is great as well!

But if I was the manufacturer, I would be embarrassed that the phrase "smear guard" rubs off on the user's hands.(-)The retractable feature is a little loud

They come in a convenient plastic case for easy storage.

They come in a nice clear, reusable plastic case that is convenient for storage purposes

They even come with a handy plastic carrying case so you can stay organized.

cheap plastic casing and inks will dry easily because of the opening at the tip but a hassle free all in one go purchase if you need a large number of colors

They come in a handy soft plastic case so I can keep track of them.

No more dried out markers, and no more looking for missing caps.- Nice wide variety of colors, though I wouldn't recommend the dark blue or the purple as a highlighter (too dark to see text

The pinks,blues, and green are too dark to us as a highlighter, but the lighter colors work great.

However, I was kind of sad that my orange highlighter was DULL in color

Additionally, the darker highlighter colors, as other reviewers have pointed out, make it difficult to read text.

I love the different colors and the idea of a retractable highlighter.

I love "clicky top" pens because I never have to worry about losing the cap.

Love these retractable pens - only Highlighters I use!!

I hate pens and markers with caps and this does away with that annoyance.

I love retractable pens because I don't have to worry about losing the lids

I love retractable pens because I don't have to worry about losing the lids

Also, the tips seem to become frayed and lose their firm tip; I believe it is because it hits up against the spinning disc that closes and opens when clicking.

This multi-pack serves its purpose well, and I love the convenience of having a retractable tip instead of having to mess with removing caps.

Highlight marker with convenient retractable tip helps to keep from drying out early.

I love the retractable feature of this marker, colors are good and all but the tips are kind of hard, the sharpie accent that is short and has a cap are much smoother

The retractable tip works well - after several months the pens are all still "juicy" and work great.

Highlighting is supposed to illuminate the text for easy reference but the darker colors make it almost impossible to see.

(The yellow is a SUPER bright neon.)The other colors are good, although the red, fuchsia, and darker blue are pretty dark - you need to make sure you only use them on very dark text or type or they will partially obscure the words

In my experience with these highlighters, they will not smear pre-printed text (i.e.- a textbook) but handwritten notes (in a notebook or in the margins of the textbook) will smear noticeably

A few shades are so dark (blue, red) that the hilighted text becomes unreadable.

Next comes Sharpie's claim that these highlighters will not smear the text

and I don't have to worry about losing the caps anymore

Great for the classroom as you do not have to worry about losing the caps.

I enjoy having pens and highlighters that click because I don't have to worry about losing the cap and the pen or highlighter drying out.

The retractable function is good, but I prefer a traditional cap one.

I love the retractable feature of this marker, colors are good and all but the tips are kind of hard, the sharpie accent that is short and has a cap are much smoother

The three darker colors, especially the indigo and purple, are a bit too dark to highlight in, so I just use them like markers and draw arrows or underline things

but it makes me work a bit more than necessary when studying.

However, be careful with the darker colors, they will bleed a little bit but not enough to blot out the opposite page.

The tip is a tiny bit more narrow than a standard highlighter but it actually works in its favor

but I do find the darker shades are a bit too dark to read through.

but I do find the darker shades are a bit too dark to read through.

The darker shades can be a little hard to see, but once they dry on the paper they become lighter

and when i got back to use it, it was as smooth as when it was closed

unfortunately, they bleeds through thin papers such as the bible page or recycled newspapers.

They do not lighten over time becoming an odd shade of what you thought it was.

However, a couple of the colors are pretty dark when used, so it made certain words hard to read whenever I highlighted over them.

Amazing colors last couple of minutes dont buy.

They do work well though on regular paper but a couple are very dark.

The highlighter is a bit finer in thickness than I was expecting and a couple of the colors are pretty dark to be considered a

While a couple of the colors are darker, none are too dark to read through

Orange is OK, but the red, dark blue, and purple are just too dark,

Cons:-Thinner tip than standard highlighter-Blue and Purple are two dark

I think the dark blue and red are fine, but the purple is far, far too dark.

I only really like the red, dark blue, and dark purple but these a generally good highlighters

The darker colors (purple, red, dark blue) are lasting way better but the lighter ones don't

Ironically I smudged the very bit that says "smear guard

Sharpie's chisel-tip, Smear Guard highlighters were much better.

The most significant difference is the smear guard, which dries much faster than the old ink

Apparently the smear guard wasn't used on the product branding

I love the variety of colors and these are truly smear guard!!!

Orange is OK, but the red, dark blue, and purple are just too dark,

The dark blue, red, and magenta are too dark for highlighting

The red, dark blue, and purple (?) are more like markers....

The dark blue and purple are like the red, too dark for a highlighter

The darker colors (blue, purple, red) aren't dark at all

great product, bleeds a little but thankful for ease of click to utilize ink

Also, the pencil mark did bleed a little with the use of the yellow highlighter over it

One benefit of the drier application for lefties is that it bleeds less onto your hand than other similar pens.

Great assortment of colors, nice narrow tips, and seriously smudge proof- even on slick coated paper.

I find the highlighters to not smear any ink once once the pen ink is fully dried, unlike some other highlighters that seem to have a solvent quality about them that will smear many inks even after drying, so kudos to Sharpie for the virtually smear-proof properties of these highlighters.

For the most part these are smear proof, but if you have a tendency to really press down hard on the paper then that will cause the marker to smear, but even then it's not that bad

Also like all the other Sharpie products these highlighters are smear proof

The tips retract into the barrel of the highlighter to keep the ink from drying out, while no more worries about lost caps or loose caps falling off

No worries about loosing the cap, because there is no cap

No worries about losing a cap.

I love retractable pens because I don't have to worry about losing the lids

Saves the chance of losing the lid and are great for quick use without drying out.

Feel a little nerdy being so excited about these highlighters, but I felt like they saved me sooo much time when I was reading, in addition to saving me the headache of losing my lids

There are no lost lids and because there is not a removable cap, they can’t detach from the clips, therefore, you can clip them all over the place.2
