How to Choose High-Quality Whiteboard Marker Ink?

High-quality whiteboard marker ink enhances office and study efficiency

     The performance of a high-quality whiteboard marker primarily depends on the quality of its ink. During office work or study, if an irritating odor assaults your senses the moment you uncap the pen, it will undoubtedly cause discomfort. Worse still, if the writing on the whiteboard proves difficult to erase, it could ruin your entire day and hinder productivity. So, how exactly can you distinguish between superior and inferior whiteboard marker ink? The following simple and practical methods may assist you.

High-quality whiteboard marker ink has no irritating odor

     Currently, most whiteboard marker inks available on the market are alcohol-based. Their solvent medium primarily consists of fatty alcohols, usually with ethanol as the main solvent combined with other additives. This ink technology is now mature and widely applied, representing the mainstream type of commercially available whiteboard marker inks. High-quality whiteboard marker ink will only emit a mild alcohol scent when uncapped, without any irritating odors from masking agents, paint thinners, or other chemical components.

High-quality whiteboard marker ink features extended uncapped drying time

     According to European standards, under conditions of 22°C - 25°C temperature and 50% humidity, a whiteboard marker should still write normally after being left uncapped for a period of time. High-quality whiteboard marker ink can maintain an uncapped drying time of 3-4 hours or even longer. However, extended intermittent writing periods may often affect other performance characteristics of the ink.

High-quality whiteboard marker ink erases cleanly without residue

     Erasability is generally categorized into two types: immediate erasability and delayed erasability. Immediate erasability means that writings on the whiteboard can be effortlessly wiped off with an eraser or soft cloth after 30 seconds, without smudging or leaving "ghost marks." Delayed erasability refers to the board retention time—how long the writing remains erasable after being applied. Depending on user requirements, this retention period can range from several days to weeks or even months. The length of retention time can, to some extent, reflect the actual quality of the ink. Generally speaking, the longer the retention time, the better the ink quality.
