These are Fantastic and Fun to Use!
I recently tried the BIC intensity permanent markers in the "fine" tip style. The package contained 6 vibrant and deep shades of red, orange, blue, green, pink, black, and purple. The tip distributes the color evenly and smoothly. I did not detect any odor whatsoever while using these. These markers are easy to grip without slipping or skipping during use. I tested them on a regular sheet of printer paper and was very pleased with the control I had using the fine tip. The markers did saturate through the back of the paper and the page below, but there is a warning on the package to protect the surface on the underside. I tried using these on the cardboard gift tags I make and there was no leakage on the back of the tag. The writing dried rather quickly which I liked because it prevents smearing if my hand accidently moves across it. I folded the paper a few times and there was no smear or transfer of the color because it dries so fast, which is nice. I also like the secure, tight fitting caps to prevent the marker from drying out. Egg coloring is coming up soon and my kids are excited to use these permanent markers to design their colorful and stunning egg displays. They are great for children (supervised if young), and fantastic for kids or adults who want to color the adult type coloring books. The creativity with these is endless. These BIC markers have more quality than the others I used to use. I highly recommend these.
