Zebra Mildliner

The highlighter for anyone who finds neon tiring by page forty. Each pen has a chisel tip at one end and a bullet tip at the other, so you can block out a paragraph, then underline or circle a key word without reaching for a second pen. Zebra describes the ink as mild, water resistant and translucent, made for layering: mark a first pass in one shade and a second pass in another, and the text underneath stays readable. The muted colors are easier on the eyes over a long night, though they jump out less on a quick skim than a fluorescent, so some students keep one bright pen alongside for the must-know lines.
