Over 30 EXPO items, led by low-odor bullet tip and chisel tip markers in 4-count and larger sets, the standard for classrooms and conference rooms.
EXPO dry-erase board-cleaning wet wipes are the top seller in the category, alongside the 22 oz surface cleaner in 4-packs for removing ghosting and stubborn marks.
Jumbo-tip wet-erase chalk markers in black and bright colors for menu boards, glass and non-porous signs that need to resist smudging until wiped with water.
Refillable dry erase markers with replaceable ink cartridges, including the blue refill cartridge that is a repeat purchase for schools cutting marker waste.
BIC Great Erase, Quartet and Avery dry erase markers round out the lineup with chisel and fine tips for everyday boards at lower unit prices.
Dry erase markers use a quick-drying, low-adhesion ink that sits on top of non-porous surfaces such as melamine or porcelain whiteboards and glass, so it wipes away with a dry eraser or cloth. Wet erase markers, sometimes called liquid chalk or chalk markers, contain a paste-like ink that resists smudging and only comes off with a damp cloth. Both types come in bullet tips for writing, chisel tips for broad headings and thin lines, and fine tips for calendars and planners.
Schools and training rooms go through dry erase markers faster than any other marking supply, which is why low-odor EXPO markers in 4-packs and dozen boxes are a staple of classroom supply lists. Offices keep a set in every conference room and on planning walls. Restaurants, cafes and retailers use wet-erase chalk markers on menu boards, glass doors and laminated signs because the message survives bumps and humidity until someone wipes it off on purpose.
A good whiteboard program includes more than markers. Ghosting, the faint shadow left after erasing, builds up when ink is left for days or when boards are wiped with the wrong cleaner. Dedicated board cleaners and wipes restore the surface. Refillable markers such as the Pilot V Board Master cut waste and long-run cost. Always cap markers tightly and store them horizontally, since dry erase ink dries out quickly when exposed.
How to pick the right dry erase markers and pack size.
Use dry erase markers on whiteboards that change daily; the ink wipes off with a dry eraser. Use wet erase markers on menu boards, glass, laminated calendars and overhead transparencies where the writing must resist smudging until wiped with a damp cloth. Never use wet erase on porous surfaces.
Chisel tips give bold headings and thin detail lines on large boards. Bullet tips are the all-purpose choice for everyday writing. Fine tips suit wall calendars, planners and small personal boards. For menu boards and signage, jumbo wet-erase tips produce thick, readable lettering from a distance.
Standard dry erase ink can have a strong solvent smell in a closed room. Low-odor formulas such as EXPO Low Odor are the default for schools, healthcare and small offices. They erase just as cleanly and are available in the same colors and tips.
Refillable markers like the Pilot V Board Master BeGreen accept ink cartridges, so one barrel lasts through many refills. Check that refill colors match your marker model. Over a school year, refills cost less per use than disposable markers and generate less waste.
Erase boards daily and use a dedicated whiteboard cleaner or cleaning wipes weekly. Household sprays can leave a film that makes ink harder to erase. Replace worn erasers, and if ghosting persists, a liquid board cleaner usually restores the surface.

Dry erase ink wipes off whiteboards and glass with a dry eraser or cloth. Wet erase ink is thicker, resists smudging and only comes off with a damp cloth, which makes it the right choice for menu boards, laminated calendars and signs that must stay put.
Yes, dry erase markers work on glass and most laminated or glossy surfaces and wipe off dry. For writing that should not smudge when touched, such as a monthly calendar or a restaurant menu, a wet erase marker is the better choice.
Ghosting happens when ink sits for days, when boards are wiped with household cleaners that leave a film, or when the board surface is worn. Clean with EXPO board cleaner or cleaning wipes, then erase daily going forward. Low-odor markers also tend to leave less residue.
Yes. Low-odor markers such as EXPO Low Odor write and erase the same as standard markers and come in the same tips and colors. They are preferred in classrooms, healthcare and small offices because they do not release a strong solvent smell.
Cap markers firmly right after use and store them horizontally so ink stays evenly distributed in the tip. Keep them at room temperature. If a marker seems dry, capping it tip-down for an hour often brings it back.
