Java Pen Extra Fine 2.4mm Nip White Board Marker Pens (Pack of 12 Colors)

For the price of $8, this is a pretty good set of 12 white board markers. The colors are vibrant enough (though not as vibrant as my Expo markers) and erases cleanly.Other reviews mention light color amd/or difficult to erase but I think this depends on the material used. I have those difficulties with my magnetic dry erase calendar that sticks onto the fridge but I don’t have that issue with my whiteboard or portable NuBoard.

I really like these dry erase markers! I've had the fine point and extra fine point expo markers in the past and they always seem to get "dull" or used very easily. These markers are strong and hold up. No odor. Although some of the colors are a little light/ pastel ish.

The tip to these pens are definitely not extra fine, that’s for sure! However the color is nice and bright and not dull or faded. I’ve ordered several different brands including the Expo brand and the brightness of these markers are definitely better than the Expo ones.

Initially, these were great markers! I loved the brightness of the colors, and the fine point was great. Then over time, and this is with only limited use as well for just marking calendar entries each month, the markers faded, and now it's hard to read the words. Ugh. So disappointed.

They write, and the thickness is as wanted. Other than that, I think the price is a bit high considering the quality.The main issue is that they're too faint. You get this dark, solid looking color on the cap, then write on the board and they're so faint you can almost not even see the text. The colors can almost be described as pastel. The red looks more pink; in fact the pink is actually darker than the red. There really is no "red".I haven't fully gone through all the other colors yet, bu I've used a few and I expect the same. i.e. I expect the blue and the light blue to behave just like the red and the pink.

I bought this marker because it was commonly bought with the 12 month calendar. The marker is so great that I replaced all my previous marker with this one. I am able to write with pen like precision. It is far more legible to write and read with than any other marker I used before. What I don't like about the marker is that it does not come with an eraser attached to it and I am not able to stick it to my refrigerator or my white board.

Update: I realized the green, purple, black and brown just need to be hung upside down on the refrigerator for the colors to come out. When you do this, the colors come out super vivid- way better than Expo.The majority of these dry erase markers are useless because they are so light, you can barely make it out. The green, purple, black and brown are legible. They are not as dark as expo brand.

Very dull colors can’t really see them on the white board and tip isn’t very thin either. Better off buying name brands for the extra 2 dollars
