Product Information

Full details

The Staedtler Triplus Textsurfer Highlighter set is designed for students, professionals, and anyone who needs to mark important text. Its key benefit is a soft, variable-width tip that adapts for both fine print and wider passages, ensuring clear emphasis without obscuring content. A potential caveat is that the water-based ink, while quick-drying, might smudge if handled immediately after highlighting on certain paper types.

FAQs

What is the line width range of the Staedtler Triplus Textsurfer highlighter?

The variable line width ranges from approximately 1 mm to 4 mm, allowing for both fine and broad highlighting.

Is the ink permanent?

No, the ink is water-based and designed to be non-permanent, though it is fast-drying to minimize smudging.

Can I use these highlighters on delicate paper?

Yes, the water-based ink is generally safe for most paper types. However, on very thin or delicate paper, applying too much pressure or ink might cause bleed-through. Test on an inconspicuous area first if concerned.

What colors are included in the set of 6?

The set of 6 typically includes yellow, orange, pink, lilac, mint, and lime.

How long will the highlighters last?

The 'PP barrel guarantees long service life' and the ink capacity is designed for standard usage. Longevity depends on frequency of use and proper storage (always capped).

Are these highlighters safe for air travel?

Yes, they feature airplane-safe technology with automatic pressure equalization to prevent leaking on aircraft.

Can I refill these highlighters?

These highlighters are not designed for refilling. Once the ink is depleted, they should be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Highlighter not working or ink flow is weak.

Ensure the cap was properly replaced after the last use. If the cap was off for an extended period, the tip may have dried out. Try gently scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to reactivate the ink. If the issue persists, the highlighter may be at the end of its ink supply.

Ink smudging excessively.

Allow the ink to dry for a few extra seconds before touching or turning the page, especially on lower-quality or glossy paper. Ensure you are using the correct highlighting technique with moderate pressure.

Tip feels damaged or worn.

The soft tip is designed to be flexible. Avoid applying excessive downward pressure. If the tip is visibly damaged, it may affect the line quality. Ensure the highlighter is stored correctly and the cap is always replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile line width suitable for various text sizes.
  • Comfortable ergonomic design for long sessions.
  • Quick-drying ink reduces smudging.
  • Durable construction for longevity.
  • Travel-safe due to pressure equalization feature.

Cons

  • Water-based ink might smudge on glossy paper if not allowed to dry fully.
  • The soft tip may wear down faster with very aggressive highlighting.
  • Set contains specific colors; individual color refills are not typically sold separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Staedtler Triplus Textsurfer highlighters require no setup; simply remove the cap and begin using them. Ensure the cap is replaced after each use to prevent the tip from drying out.

Compatibility: These highlighters are compatible with most standard paper types, including those found in notebooks, textbooks, and standard office paper. They work well on both printed and handwritten notes. Avoid use on very glossy or coated papers where water-based inks may not adhere properly.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your highlighters:

  1. Always replace the cap after use.
  2. Store horizontally or with the tip pointing down to ensure even ink flow.
  3. Clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth if it becomes dirty. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  4. Avoid excessive pressure on the tip, which can damage it.
