With a rich heritage, and origins dating back to 1795, the Dixon Ticonderoga Company throughout history has made its mark through quality, integrity, respect and perseverance. Today Dixon Ticonderoga continues to make its mark manufacturing and marketing writing instruments, art supplies and tools for self expression. Ticonderoga Emphasis Highlighters feature molded chisel tips for both highlighting and underlining and easy-to-grip large barrels. The brightly colored ink dries quickly and will not bleed through paper. A unique patented thumb button cap buttons allows for easy, one-hand cap release. The finish contains Microban antimicrobial protection to inhibit the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria. Ticonderoga Emphasis Highlighters are available in eye-catching colors and are AP Certified non-toxic and conform to ASTM safety standards. More than a writing and art products company, Dixon Ticonderoga empowers people to take conscious and subliminal thoughts, facts, ideas and dreams, and preserve them using tools that are simply extensions of themselves.
