Has anyone used a dry erase marker on this and had no problems wiping the contact paper clean? Or has there been a residue?

The reason I bought the contact paper was so I could cover my son's favorite coloring pages and he could color them over and over again using dry erase markers. It works GREAT! No residue at all IF you use the correct kind of dry erase marker. DO NOT USE "low-odor" markers. They will start to leave a residue after just a few uses, but the regular ones work great. I've been using the SRX dry erase by The Board Dudes with no issue at all.

One of mine did leave a tiny bit behind, but it came right off when I wiped at it with my thumb. Other than that, it doesn't leave the yucky stick residue

If the metal cabinets were cleaned properly, that is, to remove all cooking residue and dust, there is no reason why this contact paper would not stick. It is necessary to clean ALL surfaces to which this paper is to be applied, in order to achieve a successful result.

I've had it for over six months and have not had any trouble erasing. The gloss seems excellent to me. The only drawback is that it doesn't come with an eraser so I use one of the magnet to pin a Kleenex to the board for that. I've been very pleased with this product.

I've had no problem at all erasing my board using just a soft cloth and no liquids. I have only used Expo markers on it, and the board wipes off perfectly. I did purchase an Expo eraser and spray cleaner, but decided after a few uses that I didn't like it and that I could get it cleaner using just an old T-shirt. I use my board extensively to teach, so it gets a real workout. I always erase it after class since I think it can be difficult to get clean if writing is left up awhile. If you do want to use a liquid, I'd stick with the Expo cleaner. Hope this helps!

I use permanent markers on mine and it comes off when I hand wash it. Dishwasher works okay, but might take a couple of cycles because there is no direct contact. Dry erase comes off very easily, so wet erase would be better if you are concerned about permanent markers.

I have not had any issues... but quality dry erase markers are used... have not tried to lower quality dry erase markers...

It does not leave a sticky residue--in fact, make sure your shelves are very clean before applying or the paper won't stay put for long. Overall, pretty happy with it, however. This is the shelf liner, not an adhesive contact paper (which must be what the other respondant was referring to)

I have laminated many things with this, including pictures, posters, and photocopies of coloring books for my kids to play with and color with dry erase markers, so when they are done, we just wipe it clean. So far I haven't had any problems with this laminator, I have owned it for over two years and use it regularly.

I tested mine with a sharpie pen and it started to smear. But it was fine with the sharpie marker... If that helps.

I think it's the nature of the product. I don't think a paint will ever fully replicate an actual dry erase board. However, ours cleans up fine. I have found that Windex takes off color residue. The residue can be darker if you don't use low odor markers or leave the writing up for a very long time (months). Windex takes off everything, though. The Expo cleaner isn't bad either but it's more expensive. You can also use one of those Mr. Clean white miracle sponges.

I used magic eraser.... Did a test before completely cleaning, and seems to be okay. I have some slight shadowing left over, but not nearly as bad as just water and a paper towel. Also, I used liquid chalk pens on the paper. Overall, I'm satisfied.

If you have removed the packaging tape and set the cartridge firmly into the slot, turned the unit back on and it still does not recognize it then the contact points were never replaced. Once a cartridge is empty and reloaded they have to replace the contact points which tell the unit it is full of toner again. Hope that makes sense.

I have reused the labels repeatedly without taking them off, but when I have taken them off, I have had no trouble with removal or sticky residue. I have had mine for 2 or 3 years and am still able to erase and reuse them. Good luck, I think you will be happy with them!

it is a little bit thicker--one nice thing is you are able to apply it without creases that you normally get with contact paper. Very durable--easy to wipe clean. One thing we found our dry erase markers do not work on it, just beads up--put post it flags are easily removed.

I forgot to mention, I did use contact paper on my counters and peeled it off with no problem, unless your counters are painted. :-)

Cleans well. We use it for our kids and sometimes will leave the writing up for a week and its always cleaned off pretty well. I'm also a teacher and I have yet to use/see a white board that will completely clean off with just an eraser. My kids also are able to clean it off so no elbow grease needed. I've only cleaned it off with fluid once and that was after we had it for about 4 months.
