A Variety of Expo Dry Erase Markers to Suit Every Need

You'll find several styles of dry erase pens to suit nearly any project. 2-in-1 pens let users quickly switch between colors, making them ideal for business presentations. With a single click, retractable pens keep ink barrels safely tucked away, preventing costly ink spills and pen leakage. Washable pens are formulated for easy ink removal from a variety of surfaces, including carpets and upholstery. Magnetic pens adhere directly to compatible surfaces, ensuring pens don't roll away between uses, while pens with low-ink indicators let users see when it's time for a replacement.

Low-Odor Expo Dry Erase Markers Are Ideal for Classroom Use

Low-odor Expo pens work well in classrooms, small office spaces, and homes with young children, as they produce very little chemical odor. The specially-formulated ink also erases more easily than other pens, making clean-up quick and efficient. Available in several tip sizes in a range of bold colors, teachers and students can work together on group assignments using pens that suit a variety of writing styles.

Save Big on Bulk Quantities of Expo Dry Erase Markers

Businesses save valuable time and money by stocking up on bulk writing tools. Available in single-color packs and variety assortments, it's easy to keep plenty of spare pens on hand, ensuring essential office supplies never run out. Many products are also eligible for Staples' auto-restock program, which allows enrolled users to receive free shipments of frequently-used products on a schedule suiting their particular needs.

How Do Expo's Dry Erase Markers Differ From Wet Erase Markers?

Dry erase markers are made with alcohol-based inks, while wet erase pens use water-soluble dyes. Wet erase pens are primarily designed for transparency films, marker boards, and laminated writing surfaces, leaving semi-permanent marks that erase only with a damp tissue or cloth. Dry erase pens, on the other hand, are mostly used on whiteboards and glass, erasing with a whiteboard eraser or specialty cleaning product.

Are Expo Dry Erase Markers Compatible With Non-Whiteboard Surfaces?

Expo markers work on a variety of non-porous surfaces, including mirrors, windows, glass desktops, and menu boards. Users may want to test a small area of the intended writing surface beforehand to ensure compatibility with pens.

How Long Do Expo Dry Erase Markers Last?

Dry erase marker life can vary depending on how frequently they're used and how they're stored between uses. Pens that are stored horizontally with their caps tightly attached can last approximately three years, while those subjected to heavy use or left uncapped for extended periods may dry out within a matter of months.

Are Expo Dry Erase Markers Recyclable?

Dry erase markers are generally not accepted in regular recycling bins. However, there are specialty recycling companies such as TerraCycle who accept a variety of products local facilities can't process. Staples carries a range of pre-paid TerraCycle collection bins that businesses and home users can use to collect and mail in supplies, giving reusable materials a new life while reducing landfill waste.
