I L-O-V-E these markers!
I have always been a creative person. I like to color, acrylic paint, design & decorate, write, and design scrap books etc.
I feel I need to mention my extra curricular activities to explain I’ve had my share of marker/pen supply purchasing, most of the time on a budget.
I’ve had a challenging time with trial & error when it comes to buying fine point markers that have the right colors, don’t dry out quickly, don’t bleed through my paper, don’t leak, don’t smudge, have the flow of a felt tip marker pen, easy to grip, easy to uncap, and have usage longevity (last a long long).
Not only do the caps remove effortlessly, regardless of what end of the marker you’re using, the caps clamp onto each other with without popping off or suctioning together and making it a struggle to separate them.
One peeve I have is not having a secure place to put my cap(s), worse, if a pen has an origami design at the end because they are trying to distinguish themselves from different brands. Those other markers feel like I’m trying to shove a square into a circle. But with the Tanmit, it’s perfect for my liking.
I also appreciate the smoothness texture of the outside core. My fingers don’t become sore and calloused and need a gripper. Other people may have a different perspective, and perhaps it’s the size of my hands and the amount of use I put in, but with these dual tip markers, I can color code my journals, flash cards, notes, doodle and decorate my binders, and NOT become frustrated! It’s easy to toggle between different colors for hours, depending on the project I’m working on.
I can’t emphasize enough, it is because the caps are easy to remove, securely store on the marker’s opposite end and fully recap! Some markers don’t fully recap, so they leak or dry out faster.
As far as the variation of the colors, there is an adequate combination. Some are more vivid than others, but the richer & darker colors don’t bleed to the backside of the paper or smudge on the top where you’re writing or drawing. Most importantly, regardless of the color, the marker does NOT leak from the actual tip. I hate having my fingertips with marker leakage that ends up being stamped and accidentally smeared onto my expensive college books.
Of note, I’ve bought expensive National brands with different tip sizes. At the moment, I have about 7 different sets of marker pens I’m using. The only reason why I’m still using them, is to get my monies worth. I’ve resorted to using them for to-do or grocery lists. They dry out quickly anyway.
But with TANMIT, they are my 100% go-to while I study for intense exams and need to journal in my daily / yearly planners!
