I wonder.... English


I wonder when was the highlighter pens realeasd. It realeasd in 1910 and 1926. Here’s the history of highlighter pen.

The first one was Lee Newman’s felt-tip marker and second one Benjamin Paskach’s "fountain paintbrush a sponge-tipped handle with colors inside. But before Sharpie appeared Sidney Rosenthal invented and started selling in 1953 a Magic Marker. The first predecessor of a highlighter was invented by a Japanese inventor Yukio Horie of the Tokyo Stationery Company, who developed in 1962 the first felt-tip pen that used water-based ink. It was not made to highlight texts, but it inspired Carter’s Ink Company to, in 1963, start manufacturing similar water-based Marker with translucent ink. It was sold under the name Hi-Liter, and it worked on capillary action.
