If you want everything mild, use the Iconic 2 Way Pastel highlighter. If you want a quick dry highlighter, use the Kokuyo Beetle Tip Dual Sort Color highlighter. If you don’t like quick dry highlighters, use the Monami Essenti Soft highlighter. If you like highlighters where you can see how much ink is left, use the Morning Glory Mach Light highlighter. If you like erasable highlighters, use the Pilot FriXion Light highlighter. If you’re interested in wide highlighters, use the Stabilo Boss Pastel highlighter. If you like highlighters where you can see where you’re highlighting, use the Uni Propus Window Soft highlighter. If you’re a color lover, use the Zebra Mildliners. Edit: THANKS FOR THE HEART!!! 😍😍😍
I actually find that mildliners smear a ton with the Uni-ball signo dx. It does depend on how long you wait until you highlight, but if you do not wait longer than a day for the ink to dry it will smear a LOT
I use the Uni-ball Signo DX for my school tests and often need to highlight. What do you now use for them? I love it paired with my Q-dry Uni Propus, but I do prefer softer colors.
“We hope this video helped you find your perfect highlighter” Is this a joke? Man, it made my choice MORE difficult :P I still can’t choooooose. HELP ME.
i live in france and the only highlighters i can find easily here are the stabilo boss ones... but i mean i think it's better this way cause otherwise i'd buy everything :')
Pilot FriXion has low showthrough because the ink barely even soaks through the paper. Because of this it doesn't dry very quickly and isn't really useful on glossy surfaces, and kind of dulls the words I highight. I still like them because they're erasable though. P. S. they're hard to write over because of the ink.
at 3:05 it looks like they’re really bright and easy to see, but i have them and i have the same problem as you, i don’t even realise i’ve highlighted at times
yeah thats because it just sits ontop of the paper... it dries just fine for me, and yes it can be very light so sometimes double coating makes a huge different
@@14ishikawa72 yes, 100%. i bought some online and i'm extremely happy with them. It was $20 for all pastel colours+eraser+shipping. They are gorgeous, and work very well.
kaylee silva If you’re talking to me, I would recommend the mid liners for anyone who likes non-neon highlighters. But if you don’t like the mid liners, the sharpe accent highlighters are good since some colors aren’t neon
for practicality, yes. I really do adore them. But I really like the colour range of the Zebra Mildliners. I don't like when I have too much of the same range. Too bad the mildliners are so expensive.
@@mochiloki That's why I bought them pack by pack throughout the year. This way you're saving money (since you aren't getting them individually) and you can save up for them throughout the year :)
I bought the yellow mildliner and fell in love, honestly looks good on any paper and pairs well with the pen I'm using. I'm buying the set for next semester
Dong A recently released the twinliner soft highlighter line. They have pretty colors and resembles the zebra mildliners with the design and the dual tips. But theyre cheaper st 29pesos (im filipino) the zebra mildliners are like 70pesos.
My fave is definitely the Frixion highlighters. I just wish their colour range is as extensive as the Mildliners. I use a dupe of Leuchttrum and the mildliners still bleed a little, but the Frixion doesn’t! Stabilo in general has awful pooling and bleed through, been staying away from them for most of my life but these pastel colours lured me lol they’re not terrible on card stock though!
I bought some Zebra mildliners and I was excited to write notes with it and my new Muji pens. When I was at school my Muji pen had smeared when I used my mildliner. I was kinda upset bet hey they’re really nice.
I love the FriXion because when I am highlighting a book, the glob of ink left at the end of the line just annoys me terribly. With these, I just let them dry and erase the glob. They're great!
I love this I want this for my birthday I don't have great hand writing..but I'm learning and once I get there I'll highlight over my handwriting that will look good once again thanks for these recommendations! ❤️
Pilot FriXions are great but they have one glaring issue: the ink very clearly and visibly COVERS the underlying text. My black ink loses its vibrancy underneath FriXion ink, ultimately making the text 'pop' less to me... Shame!
Mildliners smear with gelpens, BUT: It's my only brand of highlighters that do NOT smear LAMY FOUNTAIN PEN INK, and that says a lot for those who use Lamy Pens. I have muji, stabilo boss, dong-a, and tombow.
I need help! Ive been looking for japanese stationary subscription boxes , but i want a box that has useful pens, highlighters binders and notebooks , all of the boxes i found are cute stationery, but i dont want cute stationery, any recommendations??
I have mildliners and idk if it's the pen or the marker but even after a while they still smear the ink a bit. I use frixion erasable pens so it might be the pen
Hello JetPens! For school, I am trying to decide between the Pilot Frixion and the Mildliners. Which would you recommend for highlighting on filler paper and overall use?
Stabilo Boss lasts for a long time! I've had one for 10 years now! I used to draw a lot with it, but I've been using it as a school highlighter for the past 5 years.
The pilot frixion ones smear pencil SOOO much! And also when you've highlighted over writing (pen or pencil) it' doesn't erase because it smears the text underneath🙁
I hope you can see this comment but yeah, FaberCastell released a set of pastel highlighters too. It comes in Six Pastel Colors. They bleed through paper but not to much. It has a chisel tip on the end.
I'm trying to decide (for school and printed book annotation at home) whether to get the window ones or the mildliners? I like the colour range of the mildliners,but I'm wondering which set's quality is better.
I found this random $2 4 pack of highlighters and they don’t bleed at all, don’t smear and dry instantly. They are also in the prettiest pastel colours
I have the stabilo boss pastel but they bleed a lot and smear with gel pens (pilot G-1 0.5) if the ink isn’t dry, it’s annoying as hell but I still love them bc it’s the only thing I have.
except for the stabillo boss which I never tried, I like all the other pastel highlighter sets on this list. I am a little hesitant to get the stabilo ones because that shape is so weird and looks more like a gimmick to me than a useful tool.
Hi JetPens! I'm looking for a double-tipped highlighter for highlighting/underlining/decorating notes, I use a 0.3 Pilot G-Tec Gel Pen on sightly thick paper. I'm trying to decide between the Uni Propus and the Mildliners. Which would you suggest?
my stabilo is very weird because it could dry out a bit, and the next day it is back to normal. Also, it almost never smears my black gel pens, but when I use it over pencil it's kind of smearing it and wiping off the graphite almost.
Hiya, was wondering out of all the highlighters you have shown (besides the pilot frixion) which bleed the least through paper? My teacher gave me notes in black and white, and incredibly cheap paper that lets the ink bleed through a lot, so I was hoping you could help me out?
Which highlighter is best for making double lines while highlighting? I feel like it was covered in another jetpens video and I can't remember for the life of me and it's been bothering me
Katherine Sun Can you sample the ink first? You should also do some research. Mildliners does smear certain ink types, but not for me :p If you’re on a budget, Stabilo Boss highlighters are better.

Gachatuber Pinkkittygirl255 which one is the cheapest
sciamachyy pilot frixion light
@@rem369 my mildliners dont but I’m not very sure about it
Don't forget the Platinum Preppy where you can customize with any pastel fp ink.
stabilo boss has HEAVY bleed through
Fully agree.
Sounds like a rough cycle to me
dystopiagb ikr true. I own a pastel mint stabilo and it bleeds through so much
I have the stabilo swing cool and it bleeds too i guess all stabilo highlighters bleed through paper
I k r ughhh
mildliners smear a TON with gel pens tho :(
It really also depends on the gel pen your using. They rarely ever smear my pentel energels.
H
I use casemate (Walmart brand) gel pens and my mildliners dont smudge them at all
Winnie Foss yeah, as well as that when i use the waterproof pentel energel refills they swear way more than the normal ones
To prevent smearing, I highlight an area, then write over it.
they made the ultimate battle of the highlighters
Lmao fr it’s like let the best highlighter win
I didn't even know that there are so many types of highlighters
I actually find that mildliners smear a ton with the Uni-ball signo dx. It does depend on how long you wait until you highlight, but if you do not wait longer than a day for the ink to dry it will smear a LOT
Depending on what pen used, Mildliners can smudge so much. I've even waited for hours after writing notes and it still smudges them :/
I use the Uni-ball Signo DX for my school tests and often need to highlight. What do you now use for them? I love it paired with my Q-dry Uni Propus, but I do prefer softer colors.
Bonnie Tang are you being sarcastic? A DAY?
@@arifchowdhury8855 not at all, mildliners smudge really easily

How much does the pastel set cost?
vixx_unloyal_stan i think i got mine for around €6 but it depends on where you live:))
Really? I found all the frixion colours (and bought them all🙊)
hammie-bunny oh ok!! well i guess i'll have to search harder :'))

Esther Lamidi nope!
Nope. I don’t trust my hands
No
OH MY GOD...I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONEE!!!
Sometimes lol
I really don't see the reason of the hype about the zebra mildliners? They mostly aren't mild colors and don't perform all that well
Francesca Galanti ikr
Francesca Galanti the only reason I could think of is because the colors aren’t NEON BLAST right into your eyes
Then which one would you recommend personally?
kaylee silva If you’re talking to me, I would recommend the mid liners for anyone who likes non-neon highlighters. But if you don’t like the mid liners, the sharpe accent highlighters are good since some colors aren’t neon
@@jjjjaspn Thanks💕
Faber Castell released its own kind of pastel highlighters recently and it became my favoriteeee 💓
It did helped me find my perfect higlighter...
But i didnt find my money:((
I love the pilot friction highlighters they are amazing
do you guys sell/plan on selling the fourth set of mild liners? i know they’re a korean market product but i was just curious
Yes, we are trying our best to get all the colors!
hey harry i'm luna
I think they have them now

they are japanese
What a great video - informative, clear, succinct.... 👍🏻

If your purpose is highlighting text and prevent smears and bleed through, opt for Gel Stick Highlighters. These are fairly cheap and last long.
I am deciding between the monami essenti soft highlighters and the uni propus window soft highlighters. Which one should I get?
Uni Propus Window Soft Highlighters!
JetPens | Thank you I am ordering them!
love how short but informative the video is 💖💖 also the narrator voice 😍💞
basically, the frixion ones are the best!!
I bought the yellow mildliner and fell in love, honestly looks good on any paper and pairs well with the pen I'm using. I'm buying the set for next semester
what type of pen are you using with it because a lot of the comments mention that the mildliners smear but they're so pretty!
Would you please do a ball pen or roller ball pen comparison just like this one?...... The video is really nice!!
Thank you for the suggestion! We will put it on our list.
i think Pilot Frixon Light is the winner !
Barely smear, dry in sec and no show through
guys ..really... who is this in the video.???... such a calm and sweet voice.... it reminds me of my late sister.. i just kept hitting repeat.....
I think it's Jasmine from Studyquill.
Says in the description and some of the comments. Go check her out.
You guys should have waaayyyyy more subscribers for this high quality video!
Dong A recently released the twinliner soft highlighter line. They have pretty colors and resembles the zebra mildliners with the design and the dual tips. But theyre cheaper st 29pesos (im filipino) the zebra mildliners are like 70pesos.
Dude!! You saved me from draining my wallet! But is it good though?
wHY DIDNT I SEE THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT MILDLINERS
Is this Jasmine from @Studyquill?
I love her videos!! ✨
She's the best!
gema rodriguez no lol

Yep! Says it right in the description!
The smear test also depend on the pen ink

I personally love the zebra mildliners for light, colorful, smooth highliters
Well for me (in my opinion) the best highlighter is faber castell
Zebra Mildliners are also great for art. They have a brush tip version and I use them quite often for art. They do smear alot though.
I love how honest these videos are. Well done! I agree 100%
wtf its legit 2:15 am and i have been watching these. i dont even need any of these
THANK U! This actually REALLY HELPED I was searching for a video like this, but onlyy this one helped! 😁
I recognized The Great Gatsby instantly!
I love this I want this for my birthday I don't have great hand writing..but I'm learning and once I get there I'll highlight over my handwriting that will look good once again thanks for these recommendations! ❤️
I don't know if it's because the pens I use but stabilo boss highlighters smear a lot with gel pens
And Staedtler are about to release a pastel range this year!
Pilot FriXions are great but they have one glaring issue: the ink very clearly and visibly COVERS the underlying text. My black ink loses its vibrancy underneath FriXion ink, ultimately making the text 'pop' less to me... Shame!
Mildliners smear with gelpens, BUT:
It's my only brand of highlighters that do NOT smear LAMY FOUNTAIN PEN INK, and that says a lot for those who use Lamy Pens.
I have muji, stabilo boss, dong-a, and tombow.
I was interested in the uni ProPus 2 years ago.
Now I’m interested again.
I would really love to see this channel upload more! maybe twice a week? I can't get enough of just one video per month or so hah :P

Thank you sooo much!
This video was enough to help me make a decision.
