What brand of dry erase pen works best? Expo is the most common brand but at least one reviewer says Expo doesn't work well... So what does?

I bought the Expo package with the cleaning solution and it worked excellent. Writes well and wipe everything off completely.

The Blackwing writes faster and smoother than either of those options. Honestly, I have had bad luck with the Mirado Black Warrior lead being "scratchy" on the paper, and I strongly dislike the Mirado's eraser. I've only ever had one "bad" Black Ticonderoga but it's the one I'm using now. But the Blackwing is still far smoother than the Ticonderoga. It also has a darker line, but it stays sharp just as long. The quality of the finish is also better if that matters to you, with a matte black very sharp paint.

ALL WACOM PENS USE THE SAME GENERIC NIB. [ The only exceptions to that rule are the wacom pens that use "art nibs" which have a fat white felt tip; and the wacom pens with a fat rounded rubbery end that is meant to be used on a touch-capacitive screen (e.g., iPad). You will certainly not mistake one of those pens as needing a "Wacom Pen Nib black stylus". It's impossible to get it wrong. So if you think you need a new nib for your Wacom stylus, get this product. You can't go wrong. ]

No this product does not come with an eraser but I bought a four pack of expo dry erase markers with white board treatment and that came with an eraser

It works well. It works really well as long as the chalkboard is clean. When you shake it and press down the tip the ink comes out fluidly and makes writing on a chalkboard really easy. This pen writes really clearly too, straight and crisp, no smears. HOWEVER, when you wipe it off with a rag, it MUST BE DRY. If the liquid is not dry then it will smear horribly. So if you plan on teaching or something with it, where you erase often without time between, I'd reconsider. Instead get one of those pen holder things that hold chalk and make it like writing with a pen.

I tried putting in a marker of comparable size to the larger Expo dry erase markers and it doesn't fit. You might be able to rip the stitches out between two slots to connect them into one larger slot, though I haven't done this myself.

Crayola chalk works great. My 3 year old son finds it easier to hold thick sidewalk chalk. And EXPO white board markers are also very thick and easy to clean. :) Hope that helps!

We used 3 coats, on 3 separate doors, and then let it cure for a week, and they all work fine. I will say that certain brands of marker did not work, while others worked great. The Office Depot brand markers didn't work, but the Expo ones have worked perfectly. I have read that if the product is old, it doesn't work. But if you have certain colors working and others not working, I would check the brands?

We use a dry-erase eraser to erase, but use the spray once in a while to make it look like new. The kids use the board daily.

I got a pen with a stylus where an eraser would be. I USE the stylus to work the tablet and avoid finger smudges on the tablet. It sounds like you got a pen and not a stylus OR you are missing the point that the funny looking item where an eraser should be is what you use.

I found that regular sharpies worked better, actually. It seems these markers wore off far more quickly...sadly. I have a few mugs that I did this past summer that still have designs on them. I put my cups through the dishwasher, intentionally, to test the durability. I have to say, regular sharpies work better.

Thank you. Yeah, I've already bought an extra pack just for the erasers. Now I've got pencils with no erasers, which is a sad waste. I just emailed Papermate and will hopefully get a positive response! Thanks again.

I've been using this brand of pen for years - cap on, cap off, works perfectly - never had a problem. Only thing I've noticed when leaving the cap off is you'll probably pick up a little dust/dirt on the tip. But overall, best I've used.

I use the liquid chalk pens...work really well and swipe off easily with no "dust" leftover. Regular, school-board chalk works too.

It works only with crayola dry erase. My kid used Expo dry erase marker, we couldn't erase ..tried used Expo white board cleaner and other. Looks like monopoly...:-(

I have one of these... dry erase with a microfiber cloth leaves a ghost image of what you drew. If you get it wet, then use another one to dry it is MUCH better. Sometimes I have to do that twice.

I like the cartridges from Pilot as well as Sailor, both are quite good. I find them to be smooth, quick drying, and also pretty smudge free once dried. I hope this helps.
