When buying whiteboard markers you should always check if they do not contain toxic materials such as xylene and toluene which can cause dizziness or headaches.A minimum nib width for whiteboard markers should be at least 1.0 mm the maximum nib width depends on the size of a whiteboard and the size of the room in which it is used – 4-5mm nibs create fairly thick lines which can be seen even from a greater distance. Since whiteboard markers are mostly used on whiteboards or flipcharts it is important to choose the right nib width so that it is possible to see markings from a distance. Whiteboard markers are available in two types of nibs –chisel tip that allows creating thin and thick lines depending on the angle at which it is being held the second type is bullet tip which provides you with same line width no matter what angle you are writing at.How is this possible – whiteboard markers include a solvent which is capable of dissolving many types of permanent marker inks. You only need to scribble over the text or drawings with a whiteboard marker and wipe it with a drywipe eraser. One of really smart uses of whiteboard markers is to actually use them as an eraser for permanent marker marks.

Whiteboard markers can also be used in other, less standard ways – you can mark the food that you place in the freezer, make marks inside and outside filing cabinets or filing drawers, leave messages or notes on mirrors or glass surfaces. Whiteboard markers are available in multiple colours which gives you the possibility to create colourful presentations and easily highlight the most important parts of a lecture or report.In places where whiteboard markers are used on daily basis it often happens that markers are left without caps for numerous days – usually this would cause the ink to dry but most of modern whiteboard markers are capable of being left even up to 14 days uncapped without affecting marker’s writing performance. Not only is such writing closer to our handwriting than one achieved by using chalk but it also requires less effort and pressure to apply the ink onto surface. One of the advantages when using whiteboard markers for applying text and drawings on dry wipe surfaces is the ease of holding and writing with them.Whiteboard markers are also great for children as the ink is easy to remove and clean. They are one of the most popular presentation supplies among offices. Whiteboard markers (also called drywipe markers) are non-permanent type of markers which are used for writing on whiteboards, flip charts, OHP films and other smooth surfaces.
