Markers and Highlighters for Notes and Presentation

Markers and highlighters are essential for emphasising text, creating signs and producing colourful presentations. Available in various tip styles and ink types, they suit note-taking, art projects, whiteboard work and signage.

Selecting markers and highlighters

Decide on permanent or non-permanent ink based on the surface and intended permanence. Chisel tips create broad strokes for highlighting or signage, while fine tips provide precision for annotations and detailed work. Highlighter colours improve information scanning and retention by visually grouping key points.

Features to weigh

• Tip style: chisel, bullet or fine tip for different line widths and uses.
• Ink properties: water-based for low-odor, alcohol-based for quick-drying and permanent coverage for outdoor signs.
• Colour range: pastel highlighters for gentle emphasis, bright neons for strong visibility.
• Longevity: capped storage, refillable options and quick-dry formulas extend usability.

Choose markers that match your tasks: archival-safe pens for records, smear-resistant highlighters for students or refillable markers for regular signage. Look out for multi-packs and occasional clearance offers to stock a range of colours and tip types while keeping costs manageable.
