Product Information

Full details

This Pentel Maxiflo Whiteboard Marker pack is ideal for professionals, educators, and students who need reliable, vibrant marking on whiteboards. Its key benefit is the consistent ink flow thanks to the pump-action mechanism, ensuring clear lines every time. A potential caveat is the need to prime the marker, which requires a brief initial step before use. This assorted pack includes four fine bullet tip markers in black, blue, red, and green, featuring quick-drying, easily erasable liquid ink and a visible ink reservoir.

FAQs

How do I get the ink to start flowing the first time I use it?

Press the pump-action button on the end of the marker several times until ink saturates the tip. You may need to wipe a small amount of excess ink from the tip with a soft cloth before writing.

Can these markers be used on glass or other surfaces?

These markers are specifically designed for drywipe whiteboards. While they might temporarily mark other non-porous surfaces, they are not guaranteed to erase cleanly and could potentially damage certain finishes. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if attempting to use on a surface other than a drywipe board.

How long does the ink last?

Ink longevity depends on usage frequency and writing intensity. The visible ink reservoir allows you to monitor the ink level. With proper capping and storage, the ink is formulated for consistent performance over its usable life.

What is the line width of the fine bullet tip?

The fine bullet tip provides a line width of approximately 1.1mm, which is suitable for detailed writing and smaller script.

How do I clean my whiteboard after using these markers?

For best results, use a clean, dry cloth immediately after erasing. If ghosting occurs, use a standard whiteboard cleaning solution.

What colors are included in this pack?

This assorted pack contains four markers in black, blue, red, and green.

Can I refill these markers?

The Pentel Maxiflo markers are designed as disposable writing instruments and are not intended to be refilled. Once the ink is depleted, the marker should be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Marker is not writing or ink flow is weak.

Press the pump-action button multiple times to re-prime the ink reservoir and ensure ink reaches the tip. Check that the cap has been properly sealed after the last use.

Ink is smudging excessively.

Ensure the ink is fully dry before touching it. Clean the whiteboard surface with a dry cloth after erasing. If smudging persists, try a different section of the whiteboard or a dedicated whiteboard cleaner.

Marker tip has dried out.

Attempt to re-prime the marker using the pump-action button. If the tip is heavily dried, it may require several priming attempts. Ensure the cap is always replaced immediately after use.

Ink reservoir appears empty.

Gently shake the marker. If the ink level is low, it is time to replace the marker. The visible reservoir should provide an estimate of remaining ink.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent ink flow due to pump-action system.
  • Fine tip allows for precise and legible writing.
  • Ink dries quickly and erases cleanly.
  • Visible ink level helps manage supply.
  • Assorted colors are convenient for various applications.

Cons

  • Requires initial priming before first use.
  • Fine tip may not be suitable for large audiences or very large boards.
  • Liquid ink may dry out if the cap is left off for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Remove the cap from the marker.
  2. Press the pump-action button firmly several times until ink flows to the tip.
  3. Wipe any excess ink from the tip with a soft cloth.

Compatibility:

  • These markers are designed for use on standard drywipe whiteboards only. They are not suitable for permanent surfaces or porous materials.

Care Instructions:

  • Always recap the marker tightly after each use to prevent the tip from drying out.
  • Store markers horizontally or tip-down to ensure optimal ink flow.
  • To clean the whiteboard, use a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a dedicated whiteboard cleaner can be used sparingly.
  • Avoid leaving the markers on the whiteboard surface for extended periods (more than a few days) without erasing, as this can sometimes lead to ghosting, especially on older or heavily used boards.
  • Periodically, if ink flow seems reduced, re-prime the tip by pressing the pump-action button.
