Do these leave a pool of fluid at the end of your Highlighting streak? Specifically, on regular Notebook paper and Textbook (glossy) pages?

hello, I just tested these on two of my txtbks. I have pics if you want to see.... I have a "heavy hand" when highlighting, I tend to pause at the end of the hightlight~ with the green this will leave a tiny, darker dot. Yellow, does not do this. No bleed thru, have not had any probs since purchasing. VERY bright, too.

I've gone through dozens of these, and every now and then, I'll get a brand new one that pools at the end of streaks (probably because the highlighter is brand new and super juicy). However, the pooling stops after a few uses, and then it's perfect! The vast majority of the markers will be perfect from the start.

No they aren't very "wet" if that makes sense. However I have used them constantly and they have never run out.

Also, I am literally using them right now as this message popped up on my phone. Love them

No, I just wrote something down to test it. I wiped my finger across it and it didn't smear at all. They don't glob up either. They are my absolute favorite pens.

I think so. My cards are semi gloss. I end up pulling a couple out at a time.

I did not see any bleed through. I always used them to fill out one sided documents and log sheets. However, I don't think they would be good for two sided writing because the ink is such a heavy line and dark. (Unless the paper was thicker than the standard notebook sheet or copy paper.)

I have never had this happen and I've used it on many paperback covers. Try letting the liquid soak into the sticker for a little while. Then use gentle pressure. Don't dig. Good luck.

Yes! The lighter colors show up really well on any dark papers. They work nicely on matte and glossy finishes.

Not at all, but they do smear if you don't give them time to dry! I love these pens, but you have to keep in mind they are a wet gel!

No not at all...they don't seem to dry very fast on gloss and they smudge very easily. Great on paper because they don't bleed though.

YES!!! I have had a few "print drags" but they faded immediately. I just keep my lint cloth nearby and wipe the screen at the end of my session. I haven't had a smearing problem and I wipe the screen at the end of my session out of force of habit.

I know this is over a year later but I do have issues with prismacolor soft cores. There is left over residue and if you're not careful, it will smear. However, I use the kneaded erases I have to pick up residue that does not blow off the paper. (Then again, maybe it just depends on the paper and quality?)

I bought these for my daughter-in-law! She has never mentioned any problems with the highlighter! So, no, not that I know of. Next time I see her I will ask her about it!

Joel, I use the Paper Mate Flair pens to grade math papers. In that limited application, it does not smear or leak through the paper. However, I do not use it for taking notes, writing long letters or anything that could/might get wet and possibly run/smear. Most of my fellow instructors prefer ink for written assignments or tests. I do find that the lighter colors are practically useless and tend to use only dark/bright colors

They do dry out a little bit if left for a day or so, but not as bad as a big Sharpie or other markers. Just wet a little, dab a little, and they're ready to go. I like these pens so much that I actually keep track of them and try to remember to put caps back on because I don't want to have throw any of them away before using it all up. Never ever had a pen like that before! And the price is right! Hope that helps.

I've found it's kind of like disappearing ink in warmer temps (like leaving papers in the car during the summer) but once the paper cools off - everything comes back. AND in cold temps - things that were erased - lightly appear again. Neither appearing or disappearing has ever affected an entire document - just random spots here and there. Even with that being said they are still my absolute favorite pens and I use them daily. The new colored set is fantastic too!

I've found that they dry pretty fast, almost instantly. It also depends on the type of paper you use. I haven't try mixing colours yet :-)

They don't bleed completely thru, but you can see the writing on the other side more than you could with a ball point pen. (I write a lot in composition notebooks. Similar paper)

They do not smear on paper or porous surfaces , but do on non-porous surfaces such as plastic, metal, painted wood, etc. If you leave the pen in one place, it will bleed through to the other side, but in normal writing, it won't (on regular paper). If you are using very thin paper (tissue paper, onion skin paper, etc.) it will bleed through, just like any other marker.
