These Zebra Mildliner Pens are the perfect choice for studying, bullet journals, planners and more! The Zebra Mildliners are my favorite thing among all the stationery! As you can see in most of my YouTube videos, I use them for almost everything. To be honest, I’m just madly in love with their color palette. It’s so unique, and it just makes me super happy.

If you think the bright highlighter colors are overrated then these pens will bring nicer fresher tones to your collection. 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. Of course, when Zebra announced that they were releasing a brush pen collection, it was like they announced Christmas was coming early, and I was getting a present delivered by Jeffrey Dean Morgan riding a unicorn. 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.Of course, crazy Masha had to get all of them, so I’ll be able to provide you with details on each color! Swatch 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. 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! 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. 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!

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. 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. 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. 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.

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. Each pen features a unique mild colour that shows up softly on paper, with a broad and fine point tip to choose from for all hand lettering and marking applications. Experiment with the two nib sizes for a huge range of tasks – whether to colour code your notes or to brighten up planners, journals and other hand lettering projects. They also have dual tips – a brush and a fine tip, similar to Tombow Dual Brush Pens. Unlike Tombow, though, they aren’t that long, so they’ll fit perfectly in any usual pencil case.

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! As you can see their price is very reasonable compared to the competitors, therefore I think the pricing is a pro advantage.
