Product Information

Full details

This pack of 4 assorted whiteboard marker pens from B&Q is designed for anyone needing reliable, vibrant writing tools for smooth surfaces. The key benefit is the quick-drying, non-toxic ink that wipes clean easily, preventing smudging and ghosting. A minor consideration is that the bullet-point tip may not be ideal for very fine detail work. The set includes black, green, red, and blue markers, each with a durable bullet tip for consistent lines.

FAQs

What colors are included in the pack?

The pack includes four assorted colors: black, green, red, and blue.

What type of tip do these markers have?

These markers feature a durable bullet-point tip.

Can these markers be used on regular paper?

These markers are designed for smooth, non-porous surfaces like whiteboards, glass, and mirrors. They are not ideal for regular paper as the ink may bleed through.

Are the markers permanent?

No, these are designed to be erasable from most smooth surfaces. They are not permanent markers.

How long do the markers typically last?

The lifespan of the markers depends on usage frequency and proper storage. When capped after each use and stored correctly, they can last for a considerable time.

What should I do if the ink seems to be drying out?

Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use. You can try storing the marker tip-down for a few hours to rehydrate the tip.

Are these markers safe for children?

Yes, the ink is non-toxic and low-odor, making them generally safe for use in educational environments and by children under supervision.

Troubleshooting

Marker is not writing or writing faintly.

Ensure the cap has been removed and the marker has been stored properly (horizontally or tip-down). Gently shake the marker or try writing on a test surface. If the marker has been left uncapped for a prolonged period, it may be dried out.

Ink is smudging after writing.

Allow slightly more drying time before touching the writing. Ensure you are using the markers on a non-porous surface, as some materials may absorb ink differently. Clean the whiteboard surface with a proper whiteboard cleaner.

Ink is difficult to erase.

Ensure you are erasing within a reasonable time frame after writing. Older marks might require a dedicated whiteboard cleaner spray. Ensure the surface is not permanently stained or damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Clear, bold writing thanks to the bullet-point tip.
  • Ink dries quickly, reducing the chance of smudging.
  • Ink erases cleanly from suitable surfaces.
  • Non-toxic and low-odor formula for user comfort.
  • Comes in a pack of four essential colors.
  • Works on a variety of smooth surfaces beyond whiteboards.

Cons

  • Bullet tip is less precise for detailed drawing.
  • Markers may dry out if left uncapped for extended periods.
  • Effectiveness on very porous surfaces is not guaranteed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These markers require no setup. Simply remove the cap before use.

Compatibility: The markers are designed for use on non-porous, smooth surfaces. This includes:

  • Standard whiteboards
  • Glass (windows, mirrors)
  • Laminated surfaces
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Melamine

Ensure the surface is clean and dry before writing for optimal performance and easy erasing.

Care:

  1. Always replace the cap immediately after use to prevent the tip from drying out.
  2. Store markers horizontally or tip-down to ensure even ink distribution.
  3. Clean tips gently with a dry cloth if they become clogged with dust; avoid using liquids directly on the tip.
  4. Periodically clean your whiteboard with a dedicated whiteboard cleaner to maintain its surface and ensure markers erase cleanly.
