Troubleshooting

Highlighter not marking paper

Ensure the cap has been removed. If the highlighter has been left uncapped for an extended period, the tip may have dried. Try re-capping it for several hours or gently moistening the tip with a tiny amount of water. Check if the paper surface is too rough or absorbent.

Ink bleeding or showing through paper

While designed to minimize this, very thin or porous paper may still show ink through. Try highlighting more sparingly or use on thicker paper stock. Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure.

Cap is difficult to remove or replace

Ensure you are pulling the cap straight off without twisting. If it feels stuck, try gently wiggling it. Make sure you are replacing the correct cap for that highlighter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely portable due to their small size.
Appealing and fun designs that encourage use.
Versatile stroke width for different highlighting needs.
Ink quality ensures visibility without obscuring text.
Durable construction with a long cap-off time.

Cons

May be too small for users with larger hands for prolonged periods.
Pastel colors may be less vibrant than traditional highlighters for some applications.
The unique shapes might make them roll easily on flat surfaces if not designed to stand securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These highlighters require no setup; simply remove them from the packaging and uncap to begin use.

Compatibility: Compatible with most paper types. The water-based ink is designed not to mask text or tear paper, making them suitable for a wide range of documents, notebooks, and art papers.

Care:

After Use: Always replace the cap firmly after each use to prevent drying.
Storage: Store horizontally or upright with the cap on in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Cleaning: If the exterior of the highlighter becomes soiled, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh solvents or abrasives. Ensure the highlighter is dry before storing.
