I have become quite frustrated with highlighters that smear inkjet printer ink. Imagine my surprise when the Sharpie Accent Highlighter with "smear guard" still made a mess of my documents. Those 3M pens look mighty cool, but I am going to wait until someone gives them a test drive before I buy any.

Thanks, Sara. :) I keep looking at those at the office supply store, but I prefer the paper flags to the plastic ones, so I've been able to resist (so far).

I have some big bulky highlighters called Accent Inspire that work pretty well on inkjet prints. HOWEVER, please note that while I usually use a laser printer to print, I sometimes print on my inkjet, but it's an Epson C84 and it uses pigment (not dye-based) inks, which are less prone to smearage. That may have more to do with the success of those highlighters than the highlighters themselves (although they did say 'less smearing' on the package).

Also, if the dry highlighters are a little too thick for your use, I've sometimes used a regular Prismacolor yellow pencil and it works just fine. This is on regular paper - I think I've marked in a book twice in my life and both times it so totally freaked me out that I just can't do it. Post-it notes are what I usually use in books (and, yes, my books do often end up looking like porcupines ;) ) and only use highlighters on printouts.

I bought the highlighters when they first came out...back in the day. i did a lot more highlighting then, in my books and papers. Needless to say...i loved the whole two-in-one aspect. Unfortunately...one does not always have a highlighter with them.

I didn't know that they came out with a pen-version. :)
When i see it in the a store, i'll probably buy one to try out. it would definately be useful, i'm just wondering how good of a pen it will be..i hate sucky pens.
