Quartet Dry Erase Markers, EnduraGlide, Chisel Tip, Bold Color, Black, 4 Pack (5001-12M)

What makes a white board pen? Is it the glide across the smooth porcelain white? The manner by which it conforms to the natural movement of the hand upon a vertical surface? Perhaps a consideration to the aesthetics, and how it makes one appear in front of an audience?I will not pretend that these pens are anything beyond what I would expect, but being a bit of a whiteboard pen connoisseur, I cannot help but comment on what these pens have added to my whiteboard pen experience, in going above the standard dribble of an expo marker.The features on this pen are remarkable. One cannot help but notice the attention to functionality that is so clearly a core of Quartet's company dogma. The shape of the lid is but one fine example. It is elegant, tapered, and pleasing to rest one's eyes upon with a 2 tone texture, sacrificing only the useless and mundane ability of other markers to stack upon one another for raw beauty. Functionality is not lost! The dramatic sweep of the upper opening serves to prevent the pen from sneaking off on an unhampered roll when the cap is attached, averting great personal inconvenience to the user. When taken off and attached to the butt of the pen, a regal look is achieved, with a bishop-like flair about the pen's clear assertion of its superiority to others in the vicinity.A loud, but ungaudy proclamation of the pen's patented, three chambered technology further emphasizes to those around you, that you emanate a seriousness in the symbols that are to be inscribed forth from this pen. One can only fantasize the mechanism by which this technology improves the writing quality of the pen, but transparent windows prominently display the inner workings of the technology, and in a functionality minded tour-de-force, Quartet has identified for the user an ink level gauge on these windows.Placing ones hand in the appropriate writing position, the pen is surprisingly light and airy, considering the advanced technology inside. The girth of the trunk is ideal for balance between finesse and stability for vertical surface writing; it bridges the chasm spanning the brain and the whiteboard. With the EnduraGlide pen, thoughts from the bowels of intellect come gushing forth, manifested in the brilliance of a presentation or lecture.A remarkable aspect of this pen, surely a result of the patented three chamber technology, is the sustained high quality writing line, regardless of angle, or pressure. Like a skater's lines on ice, there is just as much elegance in the lines contoured to the whiteboard as in the pen itself. The pen lasts a long while, and are highly resistant to being left open for reasonable periods of time.In summary: I like these pens. Especially for the price.

I was an Expo fan until a fellow teacher loaned me one of her Quartet markers. Smooth writing, nice chisel to the writing tip and long lasting ink. These are now my go to dry erase markers.

These are great for writing on glass too, like mirrors or car windows. When they're on sale, they're totally worth getting because they have a nice tip and draw good, very black lines.

I have a love/hate relationship with clear or lightly frosted glass whiteboards. They look terrific, they are easy to erase, they last forever, and they never stain. Glass whiteboards are also the hardest to see the marker on them. Most markers barely leave enough contrast to read what you have just written when the marker is new, and are totally unusable when they dry out. This Quartet marker though is way better than any other marker for glass. The black is always bold and stays that way. The best marker for glass whiteboards as well as any other whiteboard out there.
