BIC Magic Marker Dry-Erase Markers, Pocket Style, Bullet Point, Assorted, 4-Pack

These dry erase markers are bold and never loose intensity. We needed a fine point for writing on small boards. This is exactly what we needed. There are a lot of colors to choose from. They erase easily too. They are small and compact, no bulky traditional feel.

I bought a couple packs of these dry-erase markers recently for my workplace; In several areas we use dry-erase calendars to plan production schedules, meetings, etc and having a large number of colors aids in at-a-glance organization (red = visitors, lime = operation commencement, etc). We've had the calendars for a long time, and I have HATED buying Dry Erase markers for them until I found these. At first I bought cheapo markers because they were cheap and I didn't know any better. After those drying prematurely, marking inconsistently, etc. I went and bought the brand-name E**o markers, figuring that there was no way those would be lacking. Unfortunately, those brand-name markers are only marginally less-terrible than the no-name markers. I came to the conclusion that the dry-erase marker industry is just a joke and nobody knows what they're doing. These proved me wrong. I finally bought these, after scouring for a pack with (1) a large number of colors and (2) the best reviews around. These did not disappoint. The colors are vibrant, for the most part the markers mark very well right out of the package (one black wrote decently immediately but wasn't full-flowing until I wrote 13 single- and double-digit numbers), and the quality I could never seem to find anywhere is suddenly right there. It's a bit curious that the package recommends "storing horizontally" as I generally see recommendations for vertical storage on other markers, so be aware that you probably won't want to drop 'em in a standard pen/pencil/marker holder. I've been following the packaging's advice blindly and these markers still work beautifully. They're more expensive, yes. But you won't find yourself tossing them in the trash after just one week while cursing all of Earth's creation, which is always a nice plus and makes for an excellent value.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I was recommended these markers, and let me tell you, they are amazing! The colors are vibrant, and the tips are strong, which are perfect for working in small groups with very young children. I will be trying them out once school starts, but I already know these are going to be my favorite whiteboard markers for students.

The colors are pretty vibrant. They work well on dry erase boards but some of the lighter colors do not show up well on clear acrylic. They don’t bleed, but they do leak within the cap and you can get marker on you or surfaces when opening if you aren’t careful. I usually need spray to clean off the acrylic board. On dry erase, it wipes off easily.

Vibrant color. Easy to see the writing. Easy to erase.

After searching Amazon for hours and reading a ton of reviews, I couldn't decide which dry erase markers to get. I wanted -non staining -no shadow left -won't dry out quick -variety of colors -magnetic I couldn't find any that seemed high enough quality with magnets so I gave up on that since I can get a magnetic holder or glue magnets on by myself. In the end, I couldn't decide between two brands so I bought both the Quartet https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DQXKZK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the BIC Intensity https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QNUTNSG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The Quartet can write a thick and thin line The BIC only a thinner line (not super thin but fine) Both were with $2 of each other and had 12 markers in the packs I like them both. The BIC Intensity markers seem to erase a little more cleanly on the first swipe but both erase fine with a second swipe of the eraser. The Quartet writes just a bit darker. So far neither has stained my two new dry erase boards so I'm happy there. I like variety of colors and both brands seem to be nice and vibrant and easy to read on my boards. Bottom line - I think you'll be happy with either of these. They both work great and erase without a problem. If either brand added magnets or erasers on the ends I'd say they were a clear winner but I'll have to get out my super glue and do that myself. I'll update my review if either set dries out before they should. I've only had them a couple weeks, so I can't speak to the longevity of either brand yet. I'm currently storing the markers on their sides when not in use.

Love these! They last and never get streaky. They are bold and perfect for a classroom. They every erase well, even the red!

These were awesome for like the first 2-3 months. Vivid color, fine tip, everything I wanted. But then they started leaking SO BAD! I would open one and the inside was covered in ink. Then I would clean it up and try to use the marker. When I touch it to the white board the ink just flows out making a mess on the board. It's very hard to clean up that amount of ink. I tried to adjust their positions, store them differently, etc. But nothing worked - all of them started leaking after time and became un-useable. It sucks because they were awesome at the beginning but I would not buy them again. Other reviews talk about leakage as well so it wasn't just my batch.
