Can you write directly on the slate and not use the cheese markers?

Footnote: they have a special "chalk" (slightly waxy texture). You can use regular chalk. The texture of the slate is not uniformly smooth. It adds to the beauty of the product.

I actually tried that and it worked just "okay" . There is texture on the slate so hard to write and did not stand out very well. Erased and used the markers.

Yes, you can. They're cardstock so it's very easy to write on without smudging.

You probably could, but i tried doing it with sharpie and it doesn't stay alone so make sure when you're done you cover it with a clear coat of something

I tested it and you can write but the material of the map on top of the desk is slightly bumpy. I use a desk mat on my desk's top to keep it scratches that will happen over time. You might want to do the same if you purchase the desk.

It looks like you can. They write on and wipe off okay in a test just now. But there's so little room that I don't know if it's worth it. Each space only has about 1.5-1.75 square inches to write in. However, if you wanted a message board you could find a different place for all the magnet storage and use the bottom board as a dry erase message board.

My white writes fine on our chalkboard.Use Dawn Power Dissolver (it's for gunked up pans and such). Works like a charm! I just did my chalk board with it and it's beautiful and easy to write on now! You should be able to get it at any grocery store or Wal-mart.

Thanks for your inquiry. You may have better luck with a gel pen, but either way you are breaking the tiny ink capsules on the back of the sheet when you do without giving it contact with the clay on the second sheet, so it wouldn't surprise me if you need to then let the sheet dry for a moment before touching the writing. Please let us know if you have any questions.Best regards,Label Outfitters, Inc.

I think the writing would stay one pretty well. It may depend on the marker you use. The ones I use take elbow-grease and alcohol to come clean, which means the writing is semi-permanent until I rub the daylights out of it.

You "can" with chalk, though I would only say that might work if you're doing the chalk markers. Dry erase should work fine. The surface is a shiny, slick surface. The maps are high quality and the company responds quickly to email. If you have lingering concerns, contact them. Their info is listed on Amazon.

Yes you can, however, chalk is larger thus the letters become distorted. I have sharpened my colored chalk into a point but when you write a few letters you must keep sharpening. I just use paper to bring the chalk to a point. It comes with its own chalk writing implements and they work very well but it comes only in white.

Supposedly- you write on the tally with an erasable pen- then just wipe it off for the next time. Did not work well-ended up putting post-it notes over the surface.

Yes, you can use a marker on them. They give you a nice white surface to write on. I don't do it but have friends that do. The ones that you do not print on just might be a little cheaper though. Hope I helped.

No. This is for making straight lines. It will mark glass but I would not recommend it for writing.

No, it's like trying to use yellow marker on black paper. I would suggest using something thick, like yellow icing.

yes,you can use the Sharpie pen to do this (not the ones with a felt-like tip, unless you want to), and it's a big piece of wood. These are available in push button fine point model which would certainly work, if (and here's the big if) everyone has a small size signature, or, it's a small wedding. Either of these pens would work providing the wood is unfinished, and no one tries to correct their writing, as these are both very permanent

The lines weren't too thick with this marker. Just make sure you push the tip in, like the instructions say to, on a separate area. When you first do that more ink usually comes out, so if you do it on your platter it'll be just a big blob of ink.

It's paper but you might want to use a permanent marker instead of washable markers.
