Yes I just tried them

Yes I just tried them because I loved the one they offered years ago by Faber Castell.

Big disappointment, the Levenger one smears the inkjet ink.

Faber-Castell Drylighters

Hello . . I am trying to track down some of the Faber-Castell Flourescent Drylighters. Is there anywhere at all they are still available?

It says Biblehighlighter because the pages of most Bibles are thinner than most pages of other books so if it doesn't bleed through a bible page then it won't bleed through others. It has nothing to do with spirituality. Duh!

I've been using various Levenger drylighters for years. If you get one, you'll never go back to regular highlighters.

I like it - but I didn't pay full price, either

I bought a used one over on Fountain Pen Network and I like it. Not sure I'd've spent full price for it - I have to agree there - but I do use it quite a bit. The one I have has green 'leads' not yellow, so I'm not sure if that would matter or not.

Also, I've used the Crayola Twistables for highlighting and they work quite well, though perhaps a bit more opaque than I like. The package I have has a lot of lighter colors in it ("Vibrant Variety"), so it's very useful when highlighting different passages in a printout.

Crayons or soft coloured pencils work very well as highlighters and don't dry out.

Even some of the most costly artist's pencils would be a third the cost of that highlighter and would last far far longer. And they don't smudge print outs.

it's crap

it's crap. i bought it and had it for about 20 minutes before i decided to return it. EVERYONE I had showed it to said it was not work more than $10. so $46 plus shipping is extreme. it is basically a crayon. it works like one, it looks like one. you dont highlight with one sweep like you do with a regular one, you color, that is you go back and forth MANY MANY MANY times before you can call it a "highlight". but at that rate its not worth it. i dont recommend it to anyone. I say that as someone who loves levenger. I have purchased over $1,000 in items must of which I LOVE.

I have a blue Sanford Accent Dry Pencil Bible Highlighter and I really life it. I found the following phone number and tomorrow I hope to order the various colors you mentioned. The number is 540-992-1273. I hope I can get them at a reasonable cost.

Levenger Sketcher on sale

Bob,

Levenger has the Truewriter Sketcher on sale. It uses the same 5.6mm leads as the Drylighter does. I did some quick searching of the Internet and found that their price isn't bad compared to what some other brands are asking. In case you're interested.

I love the Levenger drylighter, but years ago they sold a wooden pencil version made by Faber-Castell. The lead is a bit smoother than their new version, but Faber-Castell discontinued the product. I stockpiled a ton of them and have enough to last me about 50 years. :)

I got my Sanford Accent Dry Pencil in the mail the other day, and I like it. It has a nice, thick retractable lead (at least 3mm, maybe 4mm). I got the green one, and it's not quite as "bright" as a highlighter, but it definitely won't bleed though the paper. And it's erasable, too.

It is labeled as a "Bible Highlighter," but I've used it on all sorts of things and haven't-- ahem, *yet*-- been struck by lightning. :)

On the side, it says:
No. 26009 Pink, No. 26010 Blue, No. 26025 Yellow, No. 26026 Green

If you're looking for a drylighter, it's *much* cheaper than the Levenger one.

Mine was $2.40 from bestpensonline.com (who screwed up my order but apologized profusely and promised to make up for it).

Tombo Mono Highlighter Tape

gridge — Fri, 9 Feb 2007 10:26:12 -0500

I've used fountain pens exclusively for 20 years. I ran across the Tombo dry highlighter a couple of years ago at Office Max. Apparently, they no longer carry it, so I googled it and came up with this link:
http://www.shoplet.com/office/db/TOM63101.html

Obviously there is no smearing since you are putting down dry tape and, yes, it is erasable. I recommend it highly.

Yesterday I purchased a Sharpie Accent multi-colored pack (yellow, pink, green, orange) because of the "smear guard". Imagine my disappointment when I smeared my inkjet ink with the first use. The search continues...

Gremlins ate my earlier post on this subject... if it turns up later, sorry for the duplication.

While I was looking for drylighters yesterday, I saw that SharpieÂ® AccentÂ® Grip Highlighter claims that their "Smear Guardâ„¢ ink resists smearing from inkjet printers and ballpoint pens."

Drylighter?

Has anyone used a Levenger Drylighter? I saw one in their catalog, and am wondering if its worth the price. I'm so tired of smeared inkjet ink when I use a standard highlighter. Help!
