The advantages of a regular school board are known to everyone from school life.

It allows you to do a lot: explain, verify, emphasize the importance of information. Times are changing, but as a way of presenting information, the board has not exhausted itself, it has simply become different, and, most importantly, the tool for presenting information has changed. The notorious piece of chalk was replaced by whiteboard markers. They somehow remind everyone of the familiar felt-tip pens, only due to the fact that they are designed to work in different conditions, have different properties.

Magnetic whiteboard markers

The magnetic board is a white specially treated surface, has a wide range of sizes, allows you to attach educational materials using magnets, which makes the learning process more interesting and of high quality.

On such a beautiful surface, whiteboard markers are used when drawing. They differ in color and in the solvent used. The marker for the magnetic board can be of any color, but red, black,green and blue colors are the most eye-catching, the lines they leave are visible from afar.

Felt-tip pens are distinguished by the following qualities:

• The line they leave does not roll, it looks even.
• Their trace is easily removed with a regular sponge or microfiber cloth.
• Do not harm a person, which allows them to be used in children's creativity.
• Easily removed from clothes or hands with normal soap or washing with standard detergents.

Whiteboard Markers: Components

The marker is a felt-tip pen made of a body part and a cap. The pen thickness can be 3 - 12 mm. As an ink, a concentrated dye with particles of hygroscopic substances is used. These ingredients prevent the marker from drying out quickly. According to the validity period, there are disposable or with the possibility of refilling.

Industry produces several types of products:

• Water-based whiteboard markers do not harm a person, are easily washed off hands, and if they get on clothes, they are washed off without problems. They do not have a strong alcohol smell, they can be recommended to children and adults.
• Alcohol markers have a pungent odor that quickly disappears, the lines drawn by them dry quickly. Applies to an adult audience.
• Fluorescent markers contain fluorescent components that glow.

Not all markers are designed to draw on this surface. For a magnetic board, writing devices marked white board are used. The mark left by the marker for the magnetic board is removed with a special sponge. For convenience, it can have a magnetic mount.

Using markers

Using a felt-tip pen during lessons at school increases the quality of the learning process. But the possibilities of the marker are not limited to this:

• Magnetic whiteboards along with felt-tip pens are used at meetings, presentations, corporate brainstorming sessions.
• A good gift of great practical importance is a magnetic board on the fridge. Whiteboard markers can be used to communicate, make a shopping list, or make a sweet declaration of love.
• Fluorescent felt-tip pens have proven themselves in advertising campaigns. The information written by these felt-tip pens on LED boards can be constantly updated, but will always attract attention, be noticeable from afar and advertise the manufacturer well.

Interactive whiteboard marker

This complex system of devices in practice is a board and a computer connected to each other. Image transmission can be carried out using wires, also without them. The picture from the computer is transferred to the board, and here they already use a special marker for the interactive whiteboard and make a wide variety of corrections and changes.

How to choose markers

When choosing markers for a magnetic whiteboard, it must be taken into account that permanent ones are not suitable for this purpose. Choosing whicha whiteboard marker is suitable, you need to consider that the surface is intended for repeated use. Therefore, a permanent marker that leaves a hard-to-remove mark is categorically unacceptable.

When buying markers, you need to pay attention to the amount of active substance. As manufacturers guarantee, high-quality markers with a tip thickness of 8 mm and a dye weight of 8 grams can draw a line up to 400 m. When buying low-quality goods, the drawn line can be several meters long.

Used whiteboard markers, due to their structure and qualities, need to be stored horizontally. Felt pens have entered the market that use the dry safe system, which allows the ink not to dry out for several days if the marker is left open.
