Tip 3. Be Smart with the Design Colors

Highlighters are naturally a colorful, bright product. With that in mind, you can screen print your design in only 1 ink color on the barrel and it will still look good.

Try any of these options!


Match the Design to the Ink

Match the Design to the Ink

Find a pen with a white barrel and print your design in an ink that matches the highlighter’s color.


Use Black or White Ink

Use Black or White Ink

Go with neutral colors like black or white for your inked design. In this case, Ohio University pops against the neon yellow highlighter.


Print Your Design in a Complementary Color

Think outside of the box and use a totally new color for your printed design. The more colors, the more noticeable your highlighters!


Try Full Color Printing

Try Full Color Printing

If you want a colorful design, find a highlighter that’s decorated with full color printing. Every ink color is included in the cost, which is much better for your wallet!
