These are good markers but they’re not great for glass. The black comes out fine but the other colours you can barely see.
If you have a glass whiteboard I recommend going for Nobo Liquid Ink Glass Whiteboard Pens, 3mm Bullet Tip, 4 Pack, Dry Erase Markers, Assorted Colours, 1905324 instead https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nobo-1905324-Glass-Whiteboard-Markers/dp/B07HZB63QL
The colours on these come out really well on glass
Case was smashed on arrival and box was not damaged so I’m unsure when damage occurred. It’s not affected use of pens, they still work would just be nice to have the case.
I used whiteboard pens from another well-known brand, which had weak colours that are difficult to read on a whiteboard. So I was very pleased with these pens; colours are vibrant and clear.
STAEDTLER Lumocolour Whiteboard Marker with Bullet Tip – Assorted Colours, Pack of 6
The wide variety of colours gives plenty of choice and the colours are nice and bright, particularly the purple and orange in my opinion. The nib is quite fine (approx. half the width of a standard whiteboard marker pen) however this is not necessarily a negative as it provides a nice, precise writing that I personally prefer.
The pen colours in the pack of six are : black, green, blue, purple, red and orange.
The pens are the standard length and ever so slightly thinner. They fit two abreast on a standard whiteboard tray – the clipped lid prevents them from rolling off the tray which nice. The plastic holder is nice and robust if you wish to keep the pens in the holder however it is not magnetic if you wanted to mount the pens onto the whiteboard directly.
One of the Engineers thought it would be fun to write on the office window and so I can confirm that the pens can wright on other surfaces (such as glass) and that the ink can be removed without difficulty! The pens can be used on any dry surface.
I have no difficulty in recommending these pens.
The big difference between these and the other cheaper brands is that the Staedtler ones seem to last much longer, and because they are described as “dry-safe” it means that if someone forgets to put the lid on after use it doesn’t mean they are useless after a day or or two.
Finally the box itself that they arrive in is nice – it doubles up as a handy storage case, much better than the plastic wallets that the cheaper alternatives come so.
So in conclusion these are excellent pens at a decent price – not the cheapest you will find but for value for money they come out top for us becuase they last so much longer than the alternatives. The colours are vibrant and everything wipes off easily from our whiteboard even if it’s been left for a day or two (this does seem to contradict one of the other reviews who said it left residue after being left overnight, so I can only assume it depends on the make of whiteboards it’s being used on as it’s absolutely fine for us).
colours are excellent and the pens are high quality which is to be expected when their made in Germany 🙂
the pens can be left out without the lid on and won’t dry up although i would never do this.
the lids take a bit of force to remove which is good as they certainly will not fall off. the package holds all 6 pens very well and is ideal for storing the pens and taking them on travels as pens slot into the packaging without moving about.
the pens writing stroke is very thin and like the tittle states more they like a hand writing pens than a board markers.
the pens do state that they are 2mm (think i over looked this detail). so they are only ideal for close up usage which is ok for me as i’m only using the whiteboard for ideas and problem solving but if your intention is to use the whiteboards for classes then i recommend 3-4mm pens. checking my old pens they were 3mm and can easily be seen from 5m.
not suitable for distances over 3m if using for classes. i recommend these pens only for personal use on own desk
I’ve tried a lot of whiteboard pens, many of which were terrible. The are by far the best I’ve used by a big margin. The tips allow quite fine and accurate writing. The colours are bright and strong and the ink wipes of easily without leaving a residue. The plastic storage pouch is also a really nice addition, especially if you need to transport them around.
Other pens I’ve used leave a greasy residue which builds up on the board over time, making the surface dull and prone to smearing. This residue seems quite difficult to clean off. These Staedtler pens not only don’t produce this residue they even seem to recondition dirty boards! I’m not kidding, when you wipe off their ink they leave a cleaner patch where their ink was. After a few weeks of using these pens the whiteboards in our office look much cleaner and no longer suffer from smearing. It must be down to the ink formulation which must be much better than that other companies use. Whatever it is it works extremely well and these are the only whiteboard pens we’ll be using in our office from now on.
I’m glad I did. These are excellent value for the quality and came in a very handy hard plastic case…as advertised.
To start with it felt like we were writing with hard tips and the ink seemed more watery than the original pens that came with the easel. However, within a few days the tips have softened and the ink seems to be flowing a lot more evenly and appears more vibrant than before.
We left a lot of drawings and words on the board for more than 24 hours and they rubbed right off without any problems. At first there is a slight see-through residue, but a few more wipes and this is gone completely.
I think a good board really helps. Also, once you start using cleaning solutions you’re probably going to have to carry on using them indefinitely. Another thing some people do is try to use more abrasive materials to clean their boards. If your board is good, you shouldn’t need to.
I’m totally happy with these pens and would advise anybody who’s having trouble with them to get a new board and ensure you get a proper whiteboard cleaning pad to go with it. There should be no reason to use cleaners or more abrasive cloths with these pens.
If anyone’s interested (and if Amazon don’t mind), I bought my easel online from 24Studio. They have a blue and pink option. We have the pink one.
UPDATE December 2013: Five months on, these pens are still being used every day and none of them have run out of ink. They’re still writing like they’re brand new and I’m still VERY impressed with the quality.
