Highlighters
Once the basic design for the first mass-produced felt tip marker reached the marketplace, manufacturers were quick to recognize that expanded applications were dependent on discovering new inks. With a growing demand for writing instrument that could be used to draw attention to written or printed text, ink developers turned to a water-soluble fluorophore called pyranine. Due to its high water-binding capacity and pH-sensitive properties, it became the secret ingredient for the first (fluorescent yellow) transparent ink used in a highlighter. From marking memorable passages in a book to identifying important information on a shipping label, the everyday applications for multi-colored highlighters are unlimited. Being fluorescent , highlighter ink glows under black light causing many bars or clubs take advantage of the ink's phosphors to mark patrons hands for reentry. Today, Pilot offers a selection of fluorescent markers including the chisel-point Spotliter and the complete Frixion line of erasable highlighters. Thanks for visiting the Pilot Pen website.
