Quartet Dry Erase Markers, Whiteboard Markers, Chisel Tip, EnduraGlide, White Board Dry Erase Pens for Teachers, Home School & Office Supplies, Black, 12 Pack (5001-2M)

These are the best and boldest dry erase markers I have been able to find.

As an educator, I use dry erase boards and dry erase markers constantly. Some brands seem better than others, but they all seem to run out just when a student wants that particular color. I have noticed, however, that EnduraGlide Dry Erase markers seem to last longer. They have a narrow tip, which enables my students to write clearly during spelling tests or dictation exercises.Some of my students like to draw, and these markers are generally good. However, when younger students mark over colors, the new mark erases the old mark, and the marker itself absorbs the color. This does happen with most markers, so I accept this as typical.The colors are great and bright. They have a good grip. My students like them, and so do I.

Colors are bright and durable; ink goes on smoothly and leaves clean lines. Although they are "dry-erase," some colors don't always clean off completely and need an occasional spray, especially when left on the board for more than a few days.

I bought the quarter chisel tip for clear glass writing. The EnduraGlide markers had cool design, fat chisel tip/ line, and decent bold color.My criticism is that it loses its "boldness" when the ink is 1/4 remaining. Throughout, the color was not as bold as the expo marker on clear glass. It's an ok dry erase marker if you're looking for an alternative to the big brands.

These are so much smoother and more reliable than the Expo dry erase markers I'd been using before this. Every marker in the pack works great, gives smooth clear lines and keeps up even if I'm writing fast. They also eraise very well, I've not needed to use any whiteboard spray to clean up after them.

These markers are much better than Expo markers. I've used Expo markers for years, because my company stocks them in the office supplies room and because local office supply stores only carry Expo.But we needed an extra white board in our hallway and didn't have time to wait for budget approval so some folks ordered one out of pocket and got some of these EnduraGlide markers.I'm astonished by EnduraGlides, compared to Expo markers:1. The cap actually snaps on the end and stays in place (much better than the Expo pressure fit with fragile little fins).2. You can actually see how much ink is left, and you can tell whether it *should* be failing to write, or just crapped out before its time.3. The colors are bold and the ink flows freely (just the right amount, not too much).4. The ink doesn't dry out when you leave the cap off for a few seconds (*sigh at Expo*). So far in two weeks of frequent usage I haven't seen the ink dry out ever with the Quartet EnduraGlide markers.It's so nice not having your train of thought interrupted every few minutes by yet another round of mortal combat with a cranky pen.

These markers are now my go-to markers for everything whiteboard related. Colors are so vivid they almost leap off the whiteboard; they don't fade after weeks of use either (I use them mainly for my dry erase monthly calendar). Also, the tips do have a glide-like feel to them; super easy to write with.It's nice to have the visible ink meter on the sides. I don't use them very often, so I'm not sure how long the ink lasts; you may want to read other reviews to find out. Never tried the dry-out test (they claim it won't dry out over a 24 hour period, if I'm not mistaken), but based on the quality, I don't doubt the claims.Definitely ordering again should I ever need more markers. Forget Expo, get Quartet EnduraGlide Dry Erase Markers. You won't be sorry!

...you rave about school supplies such as dry erase markers. I really cannot express how much I have come to rely on the Quartet brand of markers during my teaching experiences. I give them away to teacher friends. I find myself saying, "Wow, these are so great!" in front of my students. I know it makes me an utter loser by some people's standards, but these really are fantastic dry-erase markers. They last a decent amount of time, the writing is smooth and flawless on almost any dry-erase surface (granted that I haven't tried EVERY surface), and the black is a solid contrast that makes it easy for people (especially students who would say anything to avoid taking notes) to read. One box of these lasted me an entire school year, and then some.The quartet brand dry-erase marker has never failed me.
