STAEDTLER301 WP4 Lumocolor Whiteboard Marker Pen - Assorted Colours (Pack of 4)

Each of these pens are great, they work grand when using them on a flat surface but also work well when using them standing up before a white board, wall chart or wall planner too. Black, blue, red, green is the full range of colours that I have found necessary to make notes distinctively for a number of different categories. The tops of the pen fit on the base but its not that secure, they will pop off and fall to the floor easily enough, the only, really minor, quibble I'd have with them.The case for these is a hard plastic one, the top clicks/clips closed or open and I really liked the shape and build on this, when its popped open its easy to get any of the pens out or put any back in, its molded so they dont all fall out or slide about inside the packaging. The case is about as good as any pocket protector too, if you use that sort of thing to protect a shirt pocket or coat pocket from damage by accidential leaks (I dont think this would be a problem with these pens to be honest but a hard knock would break them as much as any other pen like them).

These are a great product, they wipe away nicely and have a good colour to them. I like how the case lid folds back on itself as a stand, it's really handy for leaving them out ready for use.There are other reviews of people complaining that the pens are too thin? Be aware that the product is described as being designed for smaller wipe boards and from the product image it can clearly be see that these are a M 1.0mm sized pens and the pen nibs will only disintegrate if the user is heavy handed. If you are looking for a product like you would expect for a children's classroom wipe board, this is probably not the best product. I have also not yet experienced any drying out issues. I can only imagine that in these situations of drying out, the cap probably hasn't been pushed all the way down to the click.I use these pens on a desk wipe board as well as a plastic coated year planner, they work great for leaving yourself and others notes.

Purchased: 12 December 2016 for £4. From seller: Amazon EU S.a.r.L.I purchased these pens to use with my whiteboard, I stored them vertically for a while by hanging them off of the whiteboard. Which seemed to have resulted in them drying out and not working very well. After then storing them horizontally on their side, they seemed to work just fine, I imagine the ink re-saturated the nib. HOWEVER after using them for a minute they started to fade again, so I think they are probably ruined from me storing them incorrectly for so long. So if you want them to work properly make sure you at least store them horizontally on their side so that the nibs don't dry out.Before I stored them incorrectly, they worked just fine, they are a bit too thin for for what I use them for now. I had also bought the cheapest bullet tip whiteboard markers I could find by WB "Whitebox" and they are really good for their price, almost as good as the Pilot V Boardmaster Bullet tip markers, which I now use and are perfect for my needs (mainly drawing on a battle mat for D&D)With the Steadtler you get 4 markers, Red, Blue, Green and Black, with the Whitebox you also get Red, Green, Blue and Black. And finally the Pilot gives you Red, Green, Blue, Black and Orange.The Steadtler markers are still currently £4. The Whitebox markers are currently £1.65 and the Pilot markers are £10.05.So for the price of one Pilot marker £2.01 (based on dividing the pack price), you could get 4 Whitebox markers and have 36p left over. Or have the Steadtler markers for the price of 2 Pilot markers.The Pilot V Markers are refillable, by way of replacing an ink cartridge, you can get a back of 12 cartridges for around £13.80, so £1.15 per refill. They are also recycled, so if you care about the environment, that's nice, rather than having to buy an entire new marker when you just need more ink, and the marker itself is made from recycled material.Due to how thin they are, I'm not actually quite sure what you would use the Steadtler markers for. Based on other reviews, I suppose small A4 size whiteboards, these are definitely not practical for a whiteboard much bigger than that, at A3+ size you'll probably find either the Whitebox or Pilot markers more practical.So for A4 size whiteboards I'd recommend the Steadtler, for anything larger, and on a budget I'd recommend the Whitebox markers, and for the best whiteboard markers I'd recommend the Pilot V Boardmaster Markers.Sizes in case you care:Line thickness (give or take a couple 0.1mm, a ruler isn't super accurate)Pilot: 1.8mmWB: 1.5mmSteadtler: 0.5mmBox/packaging sizes (Length by Width by Depth):Pilot: 14cm by 11.5cm by 2.3cmSteadtler: 15cm by 5.2cm by 1.4cmWB: 13.6cm(plastic flap folded down)/15.5cm by 6cm by 1.4cmIndividual marker sizes (Length by Width):Pilot: 13.5cm by 2.3cm (at it's widest) - it's tapered towards the refill cartridgeSteadtler: 14cm by 1cm (1.3cm including cap clip) - straight body with clip protruding further than rest of markerWB: 13cm by 1.4cm - widest point is 1mm wider than rest of body 1.3cmPictures:The Steadtler black looks faded as my pens have dried out somewhat, the black looked as clear as the Red, Green and Blue before I stored them incorrectly, to be fair to Steadtler this is not representative of the new product or when it has been stored correctly.

Do the job and come in a handy carry case.

Decent markers for whiteboards, easily removable with no ghosting. Good strong colours and ink flow

Product is exactly as described with a fine enough tip to use on small or large laminates and OHP slides. I use it to record my gym reps and sets on a laminate that I made so that I can re-use it. Other wipe-able marker pens were too thick at the nib to be able to record rep numbers in a suitable way (especially with not tremendously stable hands after lifting heavy weight). This gave me four pens at a very reasonable price that all have good, thin nibs but write in a clear, easy to see way that would be useful for note-making on OHP slides where fine detail is useful to make the writing legible or as I said, they made my recording much, much easier. Good product delivered quickly for a good price.Cheers!

This is the 2nd lot I've bought and I love them. They're easy to write with and last a long time, the nib is of good quality as well
