The best whiteboard markers for classrooms or offices offer bold ink, easy erasability, and long lasting performance. Look for low odour formulas and refillable designs to suit shared or high use spaces.
If you’re looking for the best whiteboard markers for classroom settings, the V Board Master range stands out. It delivers vivid colour using pure liquid ink and features a Twin Pipe Feed System for consistent flow, making it easy to read even from the back of the room.
Yes, whiteboard markers can be used on non-porous surfaces like glass and mirrors. However, the ink may take slightly longer to dry or be more difficult to erase compared to a traditional whiteboard.
Markers with pure liquid ink, like those in the V Board Master range, offer excellent visibility on glass. Just be sure to clean the surface thoroughly and test a small patch first to ensure easy removal.
For stains that don’t wipe off easily, use a soft cloth with whiteboard cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. Avoid abrasive tools, which can damage the surface. For more persistent marks, a whiteboard-safe magic eraser can help lift the residue.
Using high-quality markers with low residue ink, such as the V Board Master, can help reduce ghosting and keep your board looking clean.
Markers dry out when left uncapped, stored upright, or used beyond their ink limits. To prevent this, always cap markers tightly and store them horizontally.
V Board Master markers are designed to last longer thanks to their Twin Pipe Feed System, which delivers ink smoothly to the very last drop. Since they’re also refillable, there’s no need to discard them once the ink runs out.
Bullet tips produce even, rounded lines ideal for writing or sketching on smaller boards. Chisel tips offer more versatility depending on the angle, they can create thick strokes for headings or thin lines for detail.
If you’re choosing between the two, this chisel tip whiteboard marker guide outlines which style best suits your workspace or teaching environment.
Yes, many whiteboard markers are now designed to be refillable, which helps reduce waste and cost. The V Board Master uses cartridge-style refills and is part of PILOT’s Begreen range, made from recycled plastic and designed for long-term use.
V Board Master refill cartridges are quick and easy to replace, so you can keep using the same marker body again and again.
To keep whiteboard markers working well, store them flat, cap them tightly after each use, and avoid pressing too hard when writing. If they’re refillable, like the V Board Master, top up the ink before the marker dries out completely.
Regular care not only helps your markers last longer but also supports consistent writing performance across busy school or office schedules.
Yes, low-odour whiteboard markers are ideal for enclosed spaces like classrooms, offices, and meeting rooms. They use a gentler ink formula that reduces harsh smells without sacrificing colour quality or performance.
The V Board Master features a low odour, pure liquid ink that’s safe for daily use, especially in environments where air quality matters.
Yes, the marker often incorporates PILOT's V-Board technology, which includes a visible ink supply. This feature allows users to monitor the ink level, ensuring they are aware of how much ink remains for continued use.
