This appears to be the marker's tip diameter. But I have my doubts.
These markers have a fine writing tip and produce bold, permanent color. It tends to bleed through standard pages in this case. For everyday writing, we suggest Sharpie Pens.
Selected User Reviews For Sharpie Permanent Markers, Fine Point, Black, 12 Count
I use them for construction work, and they have a lot of flaws that make them look fake.
1. When you shake the pen, the ink cartridge does not fit snugly and rattles around.
2. The cap is held on to the pen by a small ridge on the pen, rather than by compression. br>3. In this batch, there were five sharpies with no ink in the cartridges. (The tips were white, and the cartridge was white as well. )br>4. There is no way in hell a genuine Sharpie would pass such a low quality test.
5. They have a hard time writing on metal. Sharpies that are intended for use on paper will work fine on metal. br>6. If you press too hard on the felt tip of the pen while writing, it will actually press into the pen.
7. While in use, the cap does not sit well on the backside of the pen and is easily removed. If you need a real sharpie, these pens are a waste of money. If all you're doing is writing on paper, I'm sure these will suffice; however, at $22, I'd rather buy real sharpies for a potentially lower price; I wouldn't support this nonsense if I were you, and I should have returned the box, but I had them in storage until the ones I had ran out, by which time it was too late for a return.
Paintbrush tips that are strangely floppy! These are not the sharpies you expected to receive. I purchased a 36-pack of regular "fine Point" sharpies (not the pen-type sharpies). I've used about ten at work, and they're strange and floppy, making it difficult to write precisely even with these "FINE TIP" markers. They just splatter across the page like paintbrushes rather than precision markers, which is complete nonsense. br>They dry out if the lid is left off for more than 60 seconds. br>Normal Sharpie caps will not fit. Isn't that supposed to be a sign? br>Also, the tips stick out about 1/8" more than regular Sharpie markers (which is what I thought I was getting). Simply pay fifteen or twenty-five dollars to receive twelve or twenty-four dollars. This 36-pack is full of nonsense, and to be honest, I NEVER LEAVE REVIEWS. That's how enthusiastic I am about my Amazon purchase.
The cap does not fit the same way on both ends, the fonts on the marker and packaging differ slightly, and some of the marker tips protrude too far from the marker body, requiring you to push them in. BUYING IS A MISTAKE.
I think I'll stick with the Dollar Store markers because they're more reliable. In my opinion, SHARPIE is no longer a top product. 😡.
These are all dry pens, all 36 of them. There's no way I'm going to be able to use even one of them. I've used a lot of sharpie pens over the years, and I've never had a new sharpie pen that wouldn't write; they all work like an old sharpie with barely any ink left. Is it possible that they're quite old? Do not make a purchase.
There's a reason these markers are so cheap to begin with. They're either completely dry or have very little ink on them. It's possible they're a fake. I included a photo showing the difference in writing style between these markers and the one I purchased from a reputable retailer. The store-bought one is thicker, darker, and bolder. (Yes, they're both fine point) I've had the one from the store for months and it's still writing well. I couldn't finish my project because the one I bought on Amazon ran out of ink in minutes, so I restarted it and used my old one from the store with no problems. It didn't feel like it wrote like a Sharpie, and it made me seriously doubt the pens' authenticity. Purchase is not recommended.
I purchased a set for use by my art students. When I received the package, it was slightly open and all of the sharpies had spilled out. It didn't bother me at all, I reasoned. When I gave them to my students to use, about half of them didn't work properly. There were quite a few that were only half-finished. dry. They had to go over the lines several times. I was taken aback when I discovered that so many of the sharpies were defective from the start. What's going on here?.
These markers were no longer usable due to the fact that they had dried up. I work in a school library as a librarian. They were being used by my students, and when they tried a few of them, none of them worked properly. It was a complete waste of MY funds. I'm extremely disappointed!.
