3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Markers, Horribly Strong Odor, February 4, 2010

These markers write very well. The tips are perfect for fine writing and the colors are vibrant. The big problem I found is that the odor is just too strong. You almost need to use these with a strong breeze. Frankly, it is nauseating. I use these markers on a small, portable dry-erase board so my face is closer to being above the markers than than if I were to use them on a wall-mounted board. So this may contribute to the intensity of the smell.

1.0 out of 5 stars Blue Markers Stain the Board, January 7, 2011

I just mounted my new white board and tried out the four markers in this package. Three of them work just fine, although they have a pretty strong odor. The blue one didn't work at first, and then when it did the color came out blotchy. When I went to erase it, it didn't erase; it just turned a big part of the board a watery blue. I have tried repeatedly to remove the color with white-board cleaner, but I can't get it all out.

I had bought two packs of these, so I tried out the second pack just to see if the first one I got was defective. I had the same problem; black, red and green work fine, but the blue stains the board. Clearly, this is not a one-off defect.

I'm amazed. Sanford Expo is the leading brand for white-board supplies. It's hard to believe that they would ship a product that not only doesn't work but that does damage instead. That's a real trust-breaker. Hey, Sanford -- are you reading these reviews?
