What Different Tip Types Are Available in Pink Highlighters?
The tip type of your pink highlighter impacts what kind of line you’re able to make on the page. The most common tip types include:
- Window - Window highlighters are designed with a clear tip base so you can see what you’re highlighting.
- Bullet - Bullet tip types are a wider, more rounded style that often comes in fine or broad sizes so you can control the size of your mark.
- Chisel - Chisel tips are the most common style. These tips are flat and slanted. Use them to create precise, wide marks, as well as very fine lines using the tip’s peak.
- Dual - Dual pink highlighters are especially helpful and economical. With a dual marker, you can get two different tip types or two different colors, depending on your preference. This makes switching between styles easier and means you don’t have to hunt down another highlighter. Opt for a dual marker if you like to color-code your notes or if what you’re highlighting is different sizes. Dual markers are also the most environmentally friendly choice, since you essentially get two markers in one barrel.
What Features Should You Look for in Pink Highlighters?
There are several additional features to look for when purchasing a pink highlighter. Some of the most common considerations include:
- Retractable Pink Highlighters - A pink highlighter marker that is retractable is great if you carry your highlighters in a backpack or small bag since the ability to retract the tip into the barrel can reduce accidental messes.
- Smudge-proof - No one likes a smudged page. Smudge-proof highlighters are especially helpful for those who are left-handed.
- Bleed-proof - If you take a lot of notes, a bleed-proof highlighter is key. The bleed-proof features means ink won’t bleed through to the backside of your page.
- Jumbo-sized - Jumbo-sized markers are easier to grip, reducing the potential for hand cramps.
- Gel - As opposed to traditional ink, a gel highlighter glides smoothly across the page with no skipping or high-pitched sound.
- Pocket clip - For those who reach for highlighters often, a pocket clip helps you conveniently carry it with you so you always have one on hand.
- Non-toxic - Non-toxic highlighters are ideal for environments with kids, such as classrooms.
- Clear barrel - With a clear highlighter barrel, your ink supply is visible, so you’ll never run out unexpectedly.
- Quick-drying - Quick-drying highlighters are great for those who highlight a lot of material at a time. The quick-dry feature means no more accidental ink transfer.
Can You Buy Pink Highlighter Markers in Bulk?
Yes, absolutely. Staples offers pink highlighters individually or in bulk packs of up to 20. Depending on how often you plan to use your pink highlighter pen, as well as the space you are buying them for (be it an office, classroom or home), you could save considerable time and money stocking up on pink highlighters in bulk.
