About this deal

As a highlighter personally I don’t think these are the best around. I much prefer the Bic grip highlighters or the Stabilo Boss. Because the chisel of the Mildliners are particularly small compared to other highlighter pens it is likely that you will experience some saturation when trying to highlight or decorate something. I highlighted each word after 10 seconds. The mildliners smudged ALL of these pens to some degree (even though it is hard to see on the image) except for the cheapest ballpoint Staedtler pen– here there was no smudge!

The Midliners are also dual tip pens; they have a broad chisel tip on one end and a bullet fine tip on the other end of the pen. This allows you to not only highlight text but also underline and write notes with the fine tip. In the second test I compared mildliners with other highlighters using the same writing pen (the Staedtler Pigment Liner) to see how much smudge they produced. However, none of these have as large a range of mild colors as Zebra. So as far as color variety goes, the mildliner zebra pens are on top of the list.

I am not particularly impressed at how the mildliners perform here. Even totally inexpensive pens such as crayolas look so much better. The best ones here seem to be for me the Sharpie highlighter and the Staples Hype highlighter followed by Stabilo boss. Normal copy paper rarely has a high paper and fiber density to avoid ghosting and bleeding completely. The good news, however, is that by being water based these pens hold a chance with most common papers.

However, the mildliners are not the only pastel highlighters around: Stabilo has a very popular set, so does Bic, Faber-Castell, Pilot Frixion, Staedtler many less famous brands too. The saturation of the mildliners leaves a trace where you can clearly see that two (or more) strokes have overlapped. While many people don’t like the aesthetics of it, what worries me is the fact that mildliners could bleed on the other side of the paper.I also tested the pens on normal printing paper, in case you are highlighting text for school, and the results were the same; some ink colors, especially the darker mildliner shades, showed bleeding at the end and start of the stroke. To test for ghosting and bleeding is super important because most of us use these pens to highlight text or decorate while bullet journaling. Unlike bright, fluorescent highlighters on the market, MILDLINER Double-Ended Creative Highlighters are carefully curated to include an array of soft, mild colored hues. With this mild color range, you’ll be able to add splashes of color to your bullet journal, study notes, and drawings without the loudness that comes with oversaturated, fluorescent colors. To see how mildliner performs regarding bleeding and ghosting I compared them with variety of highlighters and pens. Here is the list:
