1.0 out of 5 stars Vis-a-vis=Terrible! Staedtler=much better, April 17, 2006

Don't use vis-a-vis; buy staedtler. I have some Vis-a-vis wet-erase overhead transparency markers and find that they do not stick on transparency sheets if there is even the smallest amount of oil on the surface. This means that if you touch your transparency or let your hand rest on it as you write the oil from your hand (even if you wash your hands first) will prevent the ink from sticking. I even tried wearing some cotton gloves while writing my transparencies, but the cotton had trace amounts of oil on it and the pen wouldn't work. I finally ended up using a pair of tweezers to pick up the sheets and place them on my desk, and then putting a sheet of paper between my hand and the transparency. This worked okay except that when I finished writing my transparencies I put them in a pile, and the abrasion between the transparencies caused the ink to rub off.

My staedtler pens, on the other hand, were much, much better. There was no issue of oil on the transparencies (I would have just used them instead of the vis-a-vis, except that I only had one and it was green). There was still some rubbing off of the ink when the transparencies were stacked together, but I found that if I was really careful to give them a good amount of time to dry before stacking them, it was okay.

I purchased these markers after pricing them around in my local office supply store. One store wanted $16 while Office De. wanted $12. The pens arrived quickly and the performance is great. The tip is fine, does not dry out quickly and the cap stays tightly on. I use it on overheads for at least 3 hours daily while presenting lessons.

Just what I needed! No smell, fine tip, perfect for transparencies! I've used these to write directly on the glass of my overhead as well as write-able transparencies...excellent! Cleans off easily with water and a paper towel.
