The Sharpie Accent Tank-Style highlighter is a robust tool for people who need to do a large volume of marking. The "Tank" design features a significant internal reservoir, providing about 2.5 times the longevity of standard pen-style markers. The chassis is made from high-density polypropylene, offering a durable barrel for frequent daily use.
The Smear Guard ink formulation is a key feature, designed to reduce smearing across different types of pen and printer inks. The chisel tip is made from a durable felt-polymer blend that maintains its 2mm or 5mm width even when used with firm pressure. The ink is AP-certified non-toxic and is formulated to dry quickly on most standard paper types.
Because these markers deliver a healthy amount of ink, they are best used on 80lb or heavier paper to avoid bleed-through. The larger barrel diameter provides a substantial grip, though it may feel bulky for those with smaller hands. A high-tension snap seal on the cap is important for preventing evaporation, so it is helpful to ensure it is fully engaged after each use.
For a more compact option that fits easily in a pocket or small pouch, the Sharpie Pocket Highlighters offer a slimmer profile.
