BIC Intensity Fineliner Marker Pen Set, Fine Point Pens (0.4 mm), Assorted Colors, 10-Count Pack, Markers for School

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I had bought a set of 24 fine-tip and medium-tip pens in a cool black carousel holder. Regarding the fine-tipped pens, my high school students enjoyed using the fine-tip pens when writing thank you notes to their teachers and liked the color variety. As a random gift, I gave a set to each senior at the end of the school year.

As a medical coder, having a reliable and precise pen for making notes in my AMA CPT book is essential, and the IC Intensity Fineliner Marker Pen has become my go-to choice. This set of fineliner pens offers an incredibly fine 0.4 mm point that is perfect for detailed writing, highlighting, and underlining important sections.One of the standout features of these pens is their quick-drying ink, which ensures that my notes don’t smear, even when I’m in a rush. Additionally, they don't bleed through to the other side of the pages, which is crucial when working in a densely packed reference book like the AMA CPT.The assortment of colors in this 10-count set is fantastic, allowing me to color-code my notes, which helps in quick reference during coding sessions. Each pen glides smoothly across the paper, providing a consistent flow of ink that dries quickly, reducing the risk of any accidental smears. The pens also have a comfortable grip, making them easy to use for extended periods without any discomfort.What I particularly love about these pens is their durability. The tips maintain their shape even after extensive use, and the vibrant colors remain sharp and clear over time. Whether I'm annotating complex sections or simply jotting down quick reminders, these fineliners make my work more efficient and organized.Overall, the IC Intensity Fineliner Marker Pens are a must-have for any medical coder looking for high-quality, reliable writing tools. They’ve certainly enhanced my note-taking process, and I can’t imagine working without them now!

I love these markers and they work perfectly for my calendar and my journaling. They don't bleed through the page and they aren't heavy so you see them on the next page either. I can't judge them on the longevity because I just purchased them; but so far so good.

I absolutely adore these pens! They feel so good to write with, and I love all the bright colors - very helpful for my own note takingBut needed to downgrade to 4 stars as this time the package didn’t have the colors shown here. Not sure if I got a lemon package or if they’re changing the colors, but this time I had no purple and no rich green (instead had two hot pinks and a light olive green - so same number of pens, just not the colors shown here)But will definitely continue to buy these pens.

(Edit 6/30/2022 - The ink has an odd smell that I thought would go away, but has yet to...)These are really nice pens. They write smoothly on all of the types of paper I use. Colors are good. And, they don't bleed so far. My only issue is that they are a bit lightweight for my comfort. Ergonomically, I want pens that have a bit more weight to them, relative to their length. It's a weight distribution thing that I can't really explain that well. But, it affects how much grip and dexterity I need to employ to write quickly and smoothly. If you want or need a heavier pen, consider getting some kind of rubber grip to add weight to these. Or, consider picking up Staedtler Triplus Fineliners instead, if you can stand that awkward triangular shape.

Someone gifted me a small set of these markers years ago, and since then I had been looking for a set with more colors. This set was perfect for my journaling use. I enjoy the super fine tip for coloring in tiny spaces and for writing, and they are permanent and do not smudge at all.

It’s feels nice to write with these pens. It’s smooth and doesn’t bled through paper (for me). The quality is nice.Although when comparing it to the pictures here and my own set. It looks like they changed the packaging and aren’t as bright as they advertised. Also the colors aren’t the same as the what is pictured and I got double of the same color.

I purchased the 10 pack with festive colors. These are fine 0.4mm points. I use these to do writing on 3x5 cards (thicker) and on note pads (regular weight, like normal photocopier paper). They work well for my purpose with no bleed through- I have attached pics with the bleed through test with a comparison to the Sharpie Ultra fine point (0.3mm?). I bought the BIC because the Sharpies were bleeding through. Depending on what you are doing (hand speed or drawing) and the type of paper, I would guess with the BIC you could get a little read through. The label says water based ink, but following the bleed through test I wetted my finger and rubbed on the writing and the ink did smear a little, whereas the Sharpie did not- so the BIC might not be classified as a permanent marker contrast to Sharpie. Overall works for me, the colors are great (festive).If you enjoyed the info, please hit the helpful button, I enjoyed doing these experiments and the feedback is motivational to better test and review the products.
