Review on 6-Pack Erasable Double Head Highlighters With Chisel Tip Assorted Colors For Smooth Writing. by Scott Snyder

Revainrating 5 out of 5

erasable: YES! - like frixion: NO

these highlights are great and definitely erasable! but NOTE: these highlighters do not erase by friction like the pens and highlighters sold by Frixion. these highlighters each come with a colored highlighter tip and a white tip that contains some clear chemical - when you run the white tip over a highlighted color, the color will disappear completely.In my photo I tried to show these highlights over both a regular pen and two types of erasable pens. I also tried to show how the friction-erasing mechanism does not affect this brand of highlighter, and that this highlighter's "eraser" (the white tip) does not affect friction-erasable pens. (Also, if you've "erased" a highlighted section, it isn't really possible to highlight over that area again, as the erasing chemical is already there. It is also a little tougher to completely "erase" a color if you've highlighted over that area more than once - I tried to show this in the photo as well. These are the only downsides to these highlighters that I have found but imo these aren't big enough issues to knock off a star.)Overall, I much prefer these to frixion's highlighters, as I find frixion's highlighters are far too light/sheer and can barely be seen on white paper. These highlighters are very well pigmented! Also, I like that they use a different mechanism to erase than friction, as this allows me to correct just a misplaced highlight or just a mistakenly placed word.

Pros
  • Great for highlighting important points during meetings
Cons
  • The erasers on the markers may not work as well on large or bold strokes of ink, requiring additional effort
