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.

The only one that didn’t smudge at all was the Staples hype highlighter. So I would say that here the mildliner was average compared to the other highlighters but most of them failed this test! 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.

If you think the bright highlighter colors are overrated then these pens will bring nicer fresher tones to your collection. The Mildliner Japan brand innovated stationery with a range of highlighters that come in a variety of color tones to give you much more choice than the average bright and fluorescent highlighter colors that were available in the market. 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. The MILDLINER Double-Ended Creative Highlighter is the original tool for artists, students, and everyday use. The two unique ends—including a chisel tip and a bullet fine tip—and its mild, translucent ink make it a truly unique product. MILDLINER is also available in a Dual-Tip Brush Pen, helping you hand letter and more at ease. With so many color varieties and uses, you may not know where or how to start. This guide will show you how to get the most out of MILDLINER .

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. As you can see their price is very reasonable compared to the competitors, therefore I think the pricing is a pro advantage. While MILDLINER Double-Ended Creative Highlighters and Dual-Tip Brush Pens are a great creative tool all on their own, there are plenty of other Zebra Pen products that will help you maximize your creativity. Try pairing some of these other creative tools with the MILDLINER brand and let your imagination run free.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! Add a bit of sparkle to any project with KIRARICH Glitter Markers. Made with a traditional chisel tip and glitter-infused translucent ink, it will add some sparkle to all your designs. KIRARICH Glitter Markers come in 5 shimmering shades that perfectly complement any of the MILDLINER Double-Ended Creative Highlighter and Dual-Tip Brush Pen shades.

I tried to darken the image so that you could see the smudging but since we used the best performing pen not a lot of smudging was created. However ALL of these highlighters ended up smudging the Staedtler ink, ever so slightly. It is shown in red. In my opinion, the mildliners come in a great color variety that can be an asset for bullet journalists and creatives who like to play with colors on the paper. I love the pastel color set especially and think that this one is pretty irreplaceable if I try to compare it with other inks I have here. I have performed 2 tests. The first one is related to how mildliners behave when highlighting a variety of writing pens that bullet journalists use often! As a highlighter personally I don’t think these are the best around. I much prefer the Bic grip highlighters or the Stabilo Boss.

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. Saturation occurs when you add one (or more) stroke(s) on top of another stroke or when 2 strokes of ink overlap on the paper. 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. For the ultimate creative duo, pair SARASA Clip Retractable Gel Pens with MILDLINER. With 38 vibrant, shiny, neon, and milky pastel color options, the combinations are infinite. SARASA Clip Gel Pens are great for creating thin, colorful lines for doodles, handwriting, or layering on top or beneath MILDLINER Double-Ended Creative Highlighters and Dual-Tip Brush Pens.

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. As you can see from the image there is slight ink ghosting on the other side of the paper, and a tiny little bit of bleeding from the beginning and end of the stroke where they saturate the paper a little more.The worst smudged fineliners were the Pentel and the Faber castell ones. The gel pen was terrible but that was expected as a gel pen takes a lot longer to dry compared to fineliners. To see how mildliner performs regarding bleeding and ghosting I compared them with variety of highlighters and pens. Here is the list: 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. While some brands suggest that for best results you should use the pens on tracing paper or premium printing paper, like the Tombow Dual Brush pens, it really doesn’t make sense to test these pens on fancy paper as mostly we will use them in normal copy paper. 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.
