What is a highlighter?
A highlighter is a type of felt-tip pen used to mark text. The water-based ink has a translucent, bright color. When applied over text, it makes the words stand out without obscuring them, so they are still readable. In addition to traditional highlighters, there are also refillable highlighter pens, where the ink can be replenished, and erasable highlighter pens, which can be erased.
Why do I need a highlighter?
Highlighters are popular with high school and college students, who often use them to mark important sections of text in their study materials. However, highlighters can also be used in business settings or for personal use, such as marking important points in a book.
What colors of highlighters are available?
Highlighters come in a variety of colors. The traditional highlighter color is yellow, which remains a popular option. People may use highlighters in different colors to color-code text when marking it. For example, a pink highlighter may indicate the main idea, while a yellow highlighter may indicate a supporting example.
What brands of highlighters are available?
Highlighters are made by many different office supply companies. There are many popular brands to choose from.
How do I use a highlighter marker?
To use a highlighter pen, simply remove the cap and run the pen over the text to be emphasized. It’s important to firmly replace the cap of the highlighter. This will prevent the ink in the felt-tip pen from running dry, so it lasts longer.
How long does a highlighter marker last?
The life span of a highlighter depends on how frequently it’s used. Proper care — like always replacing the cap of the pen after use — will help the highlighter last longer. There are also refillable highlighters, where the pen can be kept, and the ink simply replenished.
