Studies have shown that whiteboards are rapidly replacing chalkboards in the classroom, due to health concerns associated with chalk dust and the ability of children to read dark text on a white background more quickly than the reverse. To offset the cost of this upgrade parents and teachers are asked to pay out of pocket for dry-erase markers. "Our Quartet EnduraGlide dry-erase markers are the perfect solution for teachers and students in a classroom setting. These markers have a liquid ink delivery system, unlike most other dry-erase markers that have a wick, which prevents EnduraGlide markers from drying out so quickly when the cap is accidentally left off. This allows the markers to produce constant, bold color that is easy to read. These markers also have a gauge on the barrel, which teachers and faculty have told us is very helpful, so they do not have to guess when to replace the marker," stated Ryan Pattee, Quartet Brand Manager.
Quartet EnduraGlide dry-erase markers feature a patented, three-chamber design and deliver always bold color.
- Liquid dry-erase ink displays messages clearly
