[Review] Zebra Mildliner WKT7 - 5C
Something that never made sense to me were highlighters with ink so dark it causes more strain to try and read the text beneath. I'm calling you out, Sharpie high"light"ers... Upon searching through the reviews for pastel / mild colored highlighters, I stumbled upon these babies! I tried to find the best deal for these markers and they retail for $6 - $9. I ended up purchasing mine from Amazon for only $6.80! Since I have an Amazon prime account, 2-day shipping was free. Amazingly though, I placed the order on July 31st and it was delivered via Amazon Logistics from their California warehouse to my house in ONE DAY, August 1st. That's insane!
Product description: "The Mildliner highlighter features a unique color that shows up softly on paper. It has just the right shade to attract your attention, but won't overwhelm you with bright fluorescence. The highlighter is double-sided with a broad and fine tip." ☆
The packaging it comes in is made of a really sturdy plastic that looks super sleek and compact enough to even throw in your pencil pouch to keep them safe!
The particular pack I have comes with these specific five colors:
The photos don't do the Mild Pink, Orange and Yellow much justice... but they are a very watered down fluorescent color that does appear very nicely on paper! A downside that is also not photographed well is that this highlighter formula does slightly smear dried gel ink. It's not an extremely noticeable smear, but I really love using my Pentel gel pens to take notes or write, so it is a bummer that the Mildliners aren't smear-proof. :-(
However, I did another test using regular black Bic ballpoint pens and there was no smearing!
Another useful aspect about these Mildliners are that they are dual-tipped with a bold side for highlighting and a fine tip that is useful for underlining or even using as a pen/marker.
Overall, I would recommend these liners to those who like organizing their notes / readings / writings via color-coding! These subtlety but effectively highlight what you need and are so cute to carry around in your pencil pouch. :-)
