STAEDTLER 351 WP4 Lumocolor Whiteboard Marker Bullet Tip - Assorted Colours (Pack of 4)

I've just splashed out on a chalkboard and whiteboard easel for my daughter and three drywipe pens were supplied. These rub off brilliantly and I was desperate to get her some more colours. I read so many reviews of so many of these pens and eventually plumped for these.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.

I've been a teacher for a long time (overhead projectors, anyone?). Then I was given a white board - whoop - was like a promotion! I was worthy or dropping the chalk for real pens. I'd earned my pen licence!!The pens I used at school were ace. These ones here, I bought these for my home office (gotta have a big white board to make myself look important). These pens, slightly cheaper, don't last as long as the industrial teacher ones. However, they work, are smooth and blooming super. Each pen has its own colour, or as many might read it as, it's own emotion. So...Blue is a lovely calming guy, lacks a bit of confidence compated to black, but thatll cone in time.Red and orange - they both like to stand out as important above the others, although red just about wins with its associated passion.Green is earthy, calming, and happy. Nice to add grounding to any written work.Purple tries to keep up with blue - its OK, but like a blue apprentice.And black... well black is the backbone of pen colours, the solid, reliable one. It does not offend, it just says it as it is. You can count on black.

These pens are great - really clear and easy to see on the whiteboard, but they also wipe off really nicely meaning the board stays cleaner and more usable for longer. Good range of colours too for differentiation of points in presentation etc.The case is a nice bonus too in that it keeps them neatly together and means the classroom is kept tidy and they are always to hand.Use these in my office, in the classroom (of a university college) and in my home.

I bought these to use in class as I like to write certain parts in different colours, especially in grammar lessons. Just miss a yellow (only as it’s of the colourful semantic colours so sometimes like to use yellow with my LA but I just always substitute with an alternative colour).They write cleanly with a good thickness for writing clearly on a whiteboard for a class. This all allows for good modelling of handwriting. They wipe off easily with a board rubber or tissue and have lasted well without drying out.Good quality for the money.

very good quality item - highly recommended.

Why did you choose this product over others?:I have used these before. Easy to use, last long and good colours. They rub off easy. Ink flow good.

Great quality whiteboard pens

Staedtler is a company that I have always trusted when purchasing stationary supplies for my a level art work and they have never let me down. I had purchased a whiteboard for my exam revision and wanted to buy some whiteboard markers that are likely to last a while with a variety of different colours.So far I have been using these markers for around a week and a half and and I am extremely pleased with them; the colours are vibrant and I have no problem in them leaving any stains on the whiteboard as they glide right off with just a piece of kitchen paper. I gave the product 5 stars purely for this reason, the markers do not even seem as if they are running out yet, considering I am constantly using them. They have a comfortable grip to them which I think is quite important and sometimes when I am not revising, I will even use them to doodle and draw with so they are definitely good for quick doodles if that's what you would be purchasing them for.This product has been given a well deserved 5 stars, however the only slight problem I have with them is the smell that the marker gives; it can be strong at times, I am now used to it however this may be a problem for some people as when I first used them the strong smell did give me a headache (I am quite sensitive to things like this). Taking this into consideration if there was an option for 4.5 stars that is what I would have given.Overall, these markers are wonderful and definitely worth the price for the quality, they are also refillable which is helpful and the case in which they are held in works so that you are able to stand the pens up for easy use; I am sure to be purchasing these again in the long run when mine do finally run out.
