Review on Quality

These markers work great right out of the package. It’s hard not to immediately doodle something silly on your whiteboard when you’re so use to having just black, red and sometimes blue dry erase markers available to you. The slimmer style makes holding it and writing a lot easier. Another plus, the fine point lets you write clearer in smaller spaces, like on a whiteboard calendar.  It also erases cleanly, which is great because those whiteboard cleaning solution squirt bottles are almost never around when you need them.

There are a few nitpicky details with this marker. First, the markers tend to dry out if you don’t secure the cap quickly and securely after use.  Second, these fine point markers are, well, finely pointed, so people sitting in the back of a classroom or conference room might not be able to read what you wrote. Lastly, the color on the marker cap and the color of the ink are not always an exact match. Overall, Amazon reviewers give this product 4.4 out of 5 stars with over 600 reviews.
