Does anyone know of a brand of highlighters that will work on Inkjet ink without making it streak and smear? I print my own lesson plans and then the children like it if I highlight their names in different colors so they're easily distinguishable, but as soon as I do the ink smears and is hard to read.   

Surely there has to be a highlighter out there that won't cause inkjet ink to streak and run? Anybody?

I could do this and I've thought of it, Marcia. Thanks! But, I'm specifically wondering if there is a highlighter option out there. Anyone?

Jennifer ...

The Sharpie Accent ones marked "smear guard" work great for me ... they even work on the cheap newsprint-coloring book type books!

coolness...I highlight too and thought the smearing was just me not being careful
my life just got a little clearer if not made me realize, even for a moment, that I am just plain weird lately

I have the same problem, so a lot of time I just use the highlighter option in my document program.
