I have found it difficult to find "orange only" highlighters, so I was pleased to find this offering (I use orange frequently). the highlighter line is just wide enough for a single line of text (some highlighters have a broader swath, which is difficult to limit to one line). I have been quite pleased with this purchase.

this is incredible highlighter. I can use this pen longer than others because of liquid type. Even if I use it for a long time, the line doesn't become dull.

I've just discovered why these highlighters are better than every other one I've ever use! Regular markers start out ultra strong, but they quickly start going downhill (fading) as the ink is consumed, often the first day you really use them. If you let them sit for a while, they start up bright again, but almost immediately fade back down (leaving inconsistent brightnesses in your highlightings!)

However, these highlighters have a reservoir of liquid ink. As long as there is ink, brightness is constant. It's just as bright with 1% ink left as at 100%. And you get a very good idea of when the highlighter will start quitting.

To me, that consistency is the best reason to switch over to liquid ink highlighters. I thought they were a gimmick, but now I am sold!

I like the orange, it really stands out on a page.

I just made three copies of a page with some orange highlighting:
1) B&W copy, standard settings, there was barely any hint on the copy of what had been highlighted in the original, you would miss it if you didn't look hard. This could be good or bad depending on your particular purposes.
2) B&W copy at boosted darkness settings. You could definitely tell where the original had been highlighted, and you could read it clearly.
3) Color copy, standard settings. You could definitely tell where the original had been highlighted, but there was very little (orange) color in the highlighted copy. You could read the text clearly.

Don't listen to those reviewers that say these are a gimmick, or that they have nothing much to offer. These are AWESOME!
