Zebra Pen Mildliner Double-Ended Highlighter Set, Chisel and Bullet Point Tips, Ideal for Bible Highlighting, No Bleed Assorted Gentle Ink Colors, 5-Pack (78705)

I bought the assorted 15-pack of Zebra Mildliners back in August 2020, nearly five years ago now, and they're still going strong. I don't use them every day, but when I do, they perform just as well as they did fresh out of the package.The colors are definitely what make these special—mostly muted and pastel tones, with a few brighter, more fluorescent shades like the orange, yellow, and pink, that feel more like traditional highlighter colors. I would have loved to see these in pastel shades, but it's not a big deal and may even be a plus for some. That said, the color of the orange and yellow is quite washed out and difficult to see in dim lighting. Some of Zebra's other packs have more muted versions of these colors if you don't like the fluorescent ones. The full lineup of colors includes red, vermillion, orange, gold, yellow, green, smoke blue, blue, blue green, dark blue, violet, magenta, pink, gray, and brown. Strangely, two of the fifteen (blue and pink) came in the Japanese version for me. The English version is manufactured in Mexico, while the Japanese version is seemingly manufactured in Japan, but thus far I haven't noticed any difference in quality. The ink seems identical, though I can't say for sure if there are any slight variations in color depending on the version you receive.Both the chisel ("bold") and bullet ("fine") tip nibs work well. The chisel tip is great for highlighting, of course, while the bullet tip is more useful for underlining and note-taking. They blend decently well, especially on regular paper. The multimedia paper in my photos absorbs ink too quickly for me to get a smooth transition between colors, but it can be done. The less opaque ink these highlighters have can be layered to deepen the colors; I've used them to color in doodles, and while the colors are streaky (which makes sense, they’re not designed for coloring), they still handle it pretty well. They're quick-drying, water resistant, and smudge-proof, though if you're using them with gel ink pens like I am, make sure the ink is fully dry first—otherwise, they will smear. Some of the lighter colors, like yellow, tend to smear gel ink even if the ink is completely dry.Durability-wise, these are some of the sturdiest highlighters I’ve used. The tips haven’t frayed, the ink hasn’t dried out, the caps still snap on securely, and none of the clips have broken off. I’ve even accidentally stepped on them, and they didn’t crack—not something I can say for a Tombow Dual Brush pen my mom once stepped on (haha). Each cap also snaps onto the other end while in use, so you don’t lose it.One thing to note: while these don't feather or pool, the ink does ghost through thinner paper and can sometimes bleed through very thin papers or if applied too liberally. It's not a deal-breaker, just something to be mindful of if you're using delicate pages or plan on using these in a book or Bible (definitely test them first on an unimportant page).I still carry these with me and reach for them whenever I need a reliable highlighter. They're actually the only highlighters I own now. They hold up beautifully and are so versatile that they're an easy recommendation. Basically, just buy them! The 15-pack is great to get you started, and if you're like me, you'll probably end up picking up some of the other packs to expand your color range.

I absolutely love these highlighters! The dual tips are incredibly convenient—the broad chisel tip is great for highlighting, while the fine point is perfect for underlining or writing notes. The colors are vibrant yet soft, making my notes visually appealing without being overwhelming. Best of all, they don't bleed through the pages, even in my thin-paged Bible. Whether you're studying, journaling, or organizing your planner, these highlighters are a fantastic choice.

Zebra mildliners have always been great, but these knocked my expectations out of the park. The colors are so pretty together and the unique design of the barrel feels great in my hand. I hope Zebra does more combinations because my wallet is ready and willing. They work great, just like the regular mildliners but with the added oomph of two colors. A little bleeding through but, not a travesty. Super easy to use.

Los amo, son faciles de usar, el color es sutil y perfecto mas que todo si los vas a usar en las paginas de las biblias que son finas ya que no traspasa. Bleed resistance APROVED!

These are so cute and work so well! They don’t stink like some highlighters and are very affordable and aesthetic!

I got these to annotate my books (hold your pitchfork lol) and im plesently suprised. I got the florescent pack and the "gentle and neutral" to try and get a good span of color options and while some are a bit similar they are all diffrent somd are definitely more vibrant and some have a stronger pigment. Of the 2 the florescent is my favorite. As for marking books they do a pretty good job at not showing through too much (I've never found any that don't show at all and these are definitely better than normal highlighters I've tested). There are a couple colors that are very faint like the cream but overall I'm quite satisfied

These high liters are amazing quality and have lasted my daughter all year and she loves them so much!

Amazing! They don't bleed and last for a long time. I haven't had to purchase a new set in 3 years.
