Are these pens suitable for marking in a Bible? Do they bleed easily?

No, that is exactly what my entire family and I love about these pens: they can fit sentences into the margins of a Bible and they do not bleed even through thinline paper!

These are awesome Bible pens! I bought them for that purpose. They do not bleed in my Bible.

Hello from San Diego! They do not bleed and these are the pens that my mentor and Bible study teacher/leader endorse. I've only used a few colors so far, but the brown pen has leaked somewhat, be I saw the leaking before it cause any problems. I hope you choose these great tools. God Bless you in your studies.

I got these pens specifically for that purpose. They work great! These pens/markers are the only thing I ever use to mark notes in my Bible and I would never think of using anything else. They do not bleed at all and my Bible has very thin pages.

perfect for Bible use. Ive used them for years, and even the aged ink remains "bleed-less". Eco-Zebra Zebrite highlighters also work well for use in Bibles: Zebra Eco Zebrite Double-Ended Highlighters, Assorted Colors, Chisel and Fine Point, 5-Pack-75005 Happy studying!

These are the pens you want to write in your Bible's thin paper. No bleed through at all. Any "archival" pen will work the same. I use the 005 in my Bible and it's perfect. Not sure about the larger tip but I'm pretty sure they don't bleed through either.

Not well. I think it's a water-based ink. It is kind of splotchy on most plastic - and ....I just tried wetting my finger after it dried for 5 minutes and could easily wipe the ink off the plastic. Then I tried a red and a blue "Sharpie" brand permanent marker - the most common type of permanent felt tip marker pen - and couldn't remove the mark after it dried for a minute. However, the calligraphic pen is permanent on paper - and the pens stay good for years - sometimes even surviving when they are left uncapped for a while. And their chisel points keep a nice shape too. Makes average handwriting - like mine - look fantastic. enjoy, Roger L.

Hi Mary, you can write messages on them with pen. Don't use sharpie, it bleeds. But we used like 3x3 white labels, wrote our message in sharpie and put the label on it.

In my experience no. I use sketch and drawing paper and the ink never bled through.

I wouldn't say that they bleed, especially if you only highlight with a single pass, but the darker colors can be seen a bit from the other side of very thin paper, like one might find in a Bible. It's not enough to stop me from using them. Far better than other highlighters, except for the waxy kind, which I really don't like.

Yes! They are great to write with and they are fun colored! They don't leak, so you don't have to worry about them leaking in your backpack!

I haven't had it bleed through any of the papers I've used them on. Depending on the color you can possibly see a little bit of it on the bak side (if thin paper)

Fountain pens are based on liquid ink, so they bleed a good amount on really cheap paper. I tried Lamy blue on cheap paper, and it's a surprisingly stable ink. If you're really worried about bleedthrough, get a Z24 converter and a bottle or Noodler's Black. Noodler's Black is an ink designed to write on really bad paper, even on newsprint. It's also "bulletproof", so it was designed to be permanent. Perfect for writing checks.I'm not really sure if slow writing would make a fountain pen "messy". Just don't press too hard on the nib, and you'll be fine.

They are pretty durable. If you are writing on notebook paper you may not be able to write on the back side of it. But if you are working with one sided documents you should be good.

Absolutely not! These are very high-quality pens that write with a very fine point with no skipping. The do not leak ink if you leave the cap off.

I used these pens to write in a friend's travel journal and it didn't do anything to the page. These would be good for wedding invites or something like that but I cannot answer for something that is irreplaceable. (You really cannot see it unless you have black light though)

I don't think they would be good for coloring. Often you get abad pen that doesn't write ok. While this is ok for writing, I don't think it would be for drawing. Although I feel these are the best fine point felt tips I have ever used.

Surely, they don't bleed, that's why I changed sharpies for these. I love these markers.. I was having problems with sharpies because they were messy bleeding through paper and also the ink didn't dry quickly on book paper.. but a friend recommended me these... and I don't regret it!

I use these pens for doing mandala coloring. I would say they are a fine to med. point pen.

They do not bleed on any surface. Have been using them for years. Excellent pen. Each lasts a long time.

Yes! Just be aware that the lines will be thicker and you'll either need to write bigger or not press as hard. But the color looks nice on a dark paper.

I use them everyday for business meetings and find they are reliable but haven't subjected them to furious note taking in a classroom. The ink is very strong and can bleed through to the reverse side of cheap notebook paper. But, that said, they are a delight to write with so I guess it might be worth trying them out even if you decide to keep them for projects.
