Not Quite Permanent By msculit on Nov 23, 2008 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

I prefer using permanent markers when I am labeling my boxes and other personal effects be it at home or in the office. I got this Zebra Permanent Marker sometime back because I wanted a bullet-tip which slides smoothly. This marker does slide smoothly but the problem is, when you write on packaging tape or something slightly glossy, it smudges. It does not dry fast causing it to smudge a little unlike other permanent markers I have tried before which dries instantly the moment you write. Another problem is the scent which i find to strong especially when I use it at home. It is an alcohol based ink but still, the whole room smells like acetone after I use this marker. Not good!

There is a plus point at least. It is very black!
