This wide marker is GREAT for producing signs and posters. However, I suggest you use it in a well-ventilated area.

I would give this product five stars if it were not for the fact that they seem to be a bit dry. I couldn't believe the price for the box, however, I think that these may be beyond their expiration date. However, it's still a great deal that you can't beat.

Writes great!

Smells a bit, but to be expected when so much ink is coming out to write big.

I use this for figure skating coaching on ice- so I write on the ice with the marker so kids can follow patterns. It seems to be the best marker for this use. I don't know how it could be improved, but my coworkers and I feel that the markers run out pretty fast. I bought in bulk because I use so many of these markers. Maybe Sharpie can think of a new "write on ice" formula... haha.

I read some poor reviews of these but bought a 12-pack anyway. For my purpose these are awesome in terms of ink output - I put a 6' x 8' dragon tattoo graphic on a spinnaker. My mistake is that something like this - two coats put on heavily onto a new water-repellent nylon surface - really needs to dry for a long time - like more than a few weeks in a warm location. So after only one week then sailing the ink did smudge onto other light-colored porous materials, however it never did bleed (as one previous review mentioned)- but this is a new, coated sail. Mylar etc should smudge a lot more. However it took just over ONE pen to do the entire graphic onto both sides if the sail. I had figured that this would take most of the box of pens, but now I have some eleven pens left over. Totally worth the price for a box.

I got the marker for my moving boxes and after writing on a few boxes I was overwhelmed by the smell. I understand all markers has similar smell due to the chemical they use, but this can't be good for you. I just couldn't stand it and threw it away.
