[galileo1225]

I use highlighting stickies, like so...

Easy to remove, and does not leave any sticky residue.

Chiming in late, and haven't read the other responses, so I hope I'm not posting "old news".

Don't shoot me, but what I'm going to recommend is not fountain pen ink.

 

For years, I've used and loved Sandford's Accent Dry Highlighter. (If it says Accent Highlighter but does NOT say "Dry" it is not the right one.) The pens come in several colors (green, yellow, pink and blue) and are refillable. The highlighter is almost (not quite) like a crayon. It goes on dry, and see through. It does not bleed onto the other side of the paper.

 

Here are a couple links that I hope will give you a better idea of what I'm talking about:

I picked up mine many years ago at a Berean Christian Bookstore. Since these highlighters are made for Bibles, you might have the best luck in a Christian bookstore in your area.

Thanks again, everyone. I too like the sticky ideas for certain things, but I think I am leaning towards the dry highlighters.

Why not just use colored pencils? You can get them in a hundred different colors and you can shade the verse as deeply or as lightly as you want.

I have used Sakura Pigma Micron archival (neutral ph) pens to underline in my bible. I use the 005 and 01 sizes. They have 10+ colors to choose from. No affiliation but I got mine at jetpens.com. They are the best for not bleeding through, if not pressed hard. You can test it on one of the end papers at the back of your bible. Sakura also has them in brush tips but I have not tried them and believe you would increase the chance for bleed through. I have also used the GTL Bible Dry Highlighters but you have only four colors to choose from. The GTL markers are a wax base and DON"T bleed through, but leave the pages a little inflexible if applied to heavily.

 

Pigma Micron line widths are as follows:

 

005 is 20mm

01 is 25mm

02 is 30mm

03 is 35mm

05 is 45mm

08 is 50 mm

 

Here is a review of the Micron pens that DWR mentioned.

I use BLIEVE highlighter set. Pastel colors are easily noticed and cool enough for our eyes to be seen as often as needed. The versatility of these highlighters will keep your bible passages organized, neat and warm to your eyes.
