Sharpie Retractable Ultra Fine Permanent Markers By Zula on Nov 14, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

While working with arts and crafts, I've discovered there are many different brands, styles and colors of pens and markers. One of my favorites is the new Sharpie Retractable Ultra Fine Permanent Markers by Sanford.

These markers are amazing! They're easy to hold and can be used with one hand. There's no cap to remove or loose...just click and write! The AP certified non-toxic ink formula is quick drying and permanent on most surfaces. The safety seal valve design prevents the markers from drying out, which is important for longer shelf life.

I use these markers/pens mostly on my art projects, so they have been used on various papers such as card stock, watercolor paper and bristol with good results. The colors are bright, colorful and vibrant in art work. The ATC {Artist Trade Card} posted below was created using Sharpie markers.

These markers are great for everyday use in the home, office and at school. They're great for addressing envelopes, card making, writing notes, letters, journaling, etc. I love using fine point pens and markers, so these are perfect for me.

Sharpie retractable markers are more than just a handy writing tool....they're fun to use! The markers are available in a variety of colors and sold in sets. The set of 8 includes black, blue, turquoise, aqua, green, lime, orange and red. They can be purchased at many market retailers, department stores, office supply stores, arts & crafts stores and on-line.
