PilotFrixion Light Soft Erasable Highlighter - Assorted, Pack of 5

ADENDUM TO THIS FIRST REVIEW WRITTEN BELOW:- I BOUGHT A 2ND PACK OF THESE PENS, JUST IN CASE THE FIRST PENS WERE JUST A DUD PAIR. THE 2ND PAIR WERE BOUGHT 08.10.19. THEY RAN OUT BY 12.11.19. QUICK HUH? I WAS ONLY USING THEM TO HIGHLIGHT A BIBLE AND THEREFORE DIDN'T USE THEM MORE THAN TWICE A WEEK...AND THEY ARE ALREADY OUT OF INK. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR, DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS BRAND OF HIGHLIGHTERS. THEY ARE FANTASTIC...APART FROM RUNNING OUT REALLY QUICKLY. THEY DON'T BLEED THROUGH THE PAGE, THEY ARE LOVELY COLOURS AND THEY DO RUB OUT IF YOU HIGHLIGHT THE WRONG THING...BUT THEY DIE OUT SO FAST. IT'S SUCH A SHAME FOR AN OTHERWISE PERFECT SET OF HIGHLIGHTERS. I GOT IN TOUCH WITH AMAZON USING THEIR PHONE APP HELP DESK AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE. THEY REFUNDED THE MONEY FOR THEM SO THAT WAS EXCELLENT SERVICE.NOW READ THE REST OF THE REVIEW (BELOW) I FIRST WROTE AFTER I BOUGHT THE FIRST SET. ENJOY! 🙂These highlighters work very well, but two of them are dead. The ink in them seems to have dried up. Or there is no more ink left in them. I only received these on August 17th 2019. I use them once or twice a week and I use all the colours. When they DO WORK, they are fabulous...however, they run out so FAST! Talk about being disappointed. I am really angry about it...and because they came from Amazon direct, there is no way to complain about the pens. There is no way to talk to customer service...the page with the Amazon help desk and phone number, wont even load! Complaining here is all that is left to me.

When I saw these pens I was so amazed, finally I can use highlighters without my eyes hurting! These make revising so much easier on my eyes and can keep me focused without wanting to look away from the most important parts that are covered in neon yellow. And in addition they are erasable!!They are also very aesthetically pleasing as the pens are lovely pastel colours, and the ink is very pretty and they all go together well, perfect for artists and anyone who loves pens.They work best on white paper, and on grey paper some colours are better than others. The blue, mint, orange and pink look really nice, the violet colour is more muddy and has more grey tones than purple, which makes it duller. Its still very pretty!When I first got these, they felt really dry when using them, but that past after a few uses, and the ink flows really well. It takes a few seconds for the ink to dry and are easily erasable.I added some photos to show the different swatches of colours on white, cream and grey paper.

Decent quality. Nib is not quite wide enough to highlight an 0.5mm row. The purple is a fairly mild colour - like a mildliner (which I originally thought these were. I have not actually tried other mildliner but this seems to be similar to what I've seen online). The yellow is neon, like stabilo boss highlighters. The others (blue green and pink) are somewhere in between. Nice colours.They do not 'bleed' on paper, neither do they ghost at all (show through on the other side of the page). They seem decent quality.As for the erasable aspect, I wouldn't really recommend them for this use (I have to admit, this is something that persuaded me to buy it). It does rub out but it takes some work and can rub out some other ink or other printed black.I use them for bullet journalling - for use in habit trackers and just to make the page more colourful. As I said, not quite qide enough for a row/column but seem decent quality and work OK with biro. Not sure If it causes other ink to smear.

I received the highlighters yesterday. All seem dried out - much fainter than advertised, without the strength to cover a full line evenly, as though they are old and running out. For reference, I have included an image comparing their strength at opening the package to my STABILO pastel-coloured highlighters after a year of use.I suspect they are either far too old or have been kept at an inappropriate temperature. Very disappointing as they would be a great product if they were in good condition. I would not recommend buying this.

first of all, the colours of these highlighters are fantastic. they are really lovely soft pastel colours, which are perfect for many different things. in general, as highlighters, they are really great, however, the "erasable" part is not so great. it depends on what type of paper you're using, but the erasable part varies. i used this on my normal everyday lined paper, and it erased perfectly, however when i went to highlight in a book (from school), when i tried to erase, it wouldn't erase and it actually ended up smudging the words, and now the words that i highlighted are unreadable. it was a real shame when i discovered this. not to mention, the whole marketing for the pens were that you could highlight in course books from school and then erase them when you have to return it, so that irritated me slightly. i haven't tried it in a different book yet in fear that it will happened again, but just be aware. i would still recommend these highlighters, but just as highlighters. if you want to buy them for the sole purpose of being erasable, all i will say is: be aware that it doesn't work the same for ALL different types of paper. despite the disappointment with the erasable part, overall, i'm very fond of these highlighters and will continue to use them, but only as highlighters, not erasable highlighters.
