a highlighting tool filled with gel-based ink, used for marking and emphasizing text or passages in documents without smudging or bleeding through the paper

A gel highlighter is a type of highlighter that uses a gel-based ink rather than liquid ink. It provides smooth, vibrant color while highlighting text or information. Gel highlighters offer the advantage of being less likely to bleed through paper compared to traditional liquid highlighters. The gel ink is often available in bright, fluorescent colors, similar to regular highlighters, and is commonly used for emphasizing key points in textbooks, notes, or documents. Gel highlighters also tend to have a thicker, more solid consistency, allowing for precise application without smudging.
