Staedtler Lumocolor Correctable fine point Pens (305FWP4)

These are not your typical dry-erase pens.Staedtler makes amazing writing utensils, and have done forever. New needs call for new pens.These are called correctable pens which is true, if writing on a smooth white-board like surface.These write like small markers, smooth small pens similar to sharpie writeable markers.When writing on smooth surface (like overhead projector sheets) they write equally smoothly, but don't have the fat lines as the original projector pens.The lines that the pen writes are not dry-erase by fingers or light brushing. The pens have a fabric-type eraser on the ends, which work very well in erasing on smooth surfaces.If erasing a large portion, the ink is water soluble.The colors are vivid, the stand is very handy when taking notes or writing at a desk.I would recommend these pens if you want a convenient but non-permanent writing utensil that is better than chunky dry-erase markers.

I used these for table top gaming. They work perfectly for playing games I've laminated. These pens are best in class and have a huge reputation for being the go to roll and write gaming pens. Their fine tips are perfect for writing on small scoring sheets. They clean off easy as well. I have two sets of my own and have gifted them to my other gaming buddies. If you don't use Staedtler Lumocolor, you should have your gamers license revoked! Just don't forget to put a cap on them between your turns. Don't want them drying out. Buy these and nothing else!!!

These aren't really dry-erase or wet-erase markers in the classical sense. They're somewhere in between, and they're fantastic for brainstorming, doodling, or sketching.If you don't know the difference between dry and wet erase, it's pretty simple: you can wipe of dry erase makers with a dry towel (or erase). With a wet erase marker, once it has set for a few seconds you don't wipe it off with a dry towel, but you can wipe it off with a wet towel. Easy, right? But it's important that you know the major weakness of both types of marker:Dry erase marker will smudge if you touch them with your hand. Thus, "writing around" anything you've already written is risky because you're in constant danger smudging out what you've written. On the other hand, wet erase markers will not smudge once the ink has set, but you cannot erase it without a liquid.If you're using a large dry erase board, you can use wet erase markers to create "semi-permanent" words or lines. A common example of this would be a "daily special" sign at a restaurant. Since you don't want to write "daily special" or redraw your boxes every single day, you would write it in wet-erase. Then you would write the actual special in dry erase, so you can change it every day (or even multiple times throughout the day). But come St. Patty's day, you might want to get rid of the words "daily special," so that's when you hit the board with water and clean the whole thing off so you can write "St. Patty's Day Special!"Okay, so how are these pens different? Like wet erase pens, once the ink dries (this takes about 9 seconds based on my tests), it will not wipe off. I use these pens in some homemade "white board" sheets that I have in a notebook. The fact that they won't wipe off is important because it means ***no smudging or erase when my hand touches it***. If you write with dry erase markers, you have to be exceedingly careful not to every let the palm of your hand rest on what you've previously written, or it will simply smear away.With these, I can brainstorm over a whole page. I can write in one corner, draw lines and boxes to the other, and then come back and write notes in the original corner and *no smearing* (as long as I don't hit anything in under 9 seconds)."So far, this sounds like wet erase," you're probably thinking, "what's the big deal?" The thing that sets this markers apart is that they have little felt "erasers" on them, and you can go back and erase what you've written, even days later. I've tried this with wet erase markers (using the same felt erasers, dry napkins, etc.), and it doesn't work. Wet erase markers are stubbornly permanent, and do not want to be removed with a liquid solvent.This combines the best of both worlds for me. Like wet erase, I can fill a page with impunity because I know the ink won't smudge off on my hand (or worse, my sleeve). But, like dry erase, I can quickly get rid of things I don't like without having to hunt around for water or, privately, just licking my thumb and wipe it away.All this being said, let's talk about actual use. If you are standing at a dry erase board for a presentation, these might not be for you. To me, these are much better designed for people who "bring their board with them" in a notebook or maybe have a small board they use for home chores or brainstorming. The Fine size pens are thin, which allow you to be fairly precise (as precise as you can be when you're writing on a super smooth whiteboard sheet), but they wouldn't show up well from a distance. These would be great with a Wipeboard or a Nuboard or a homemade version of those (for example, my much cheaper version of a sheet of white paper run through a laminator and then hole-punched).In sum, if you're looking for something that will let you "fill the page" with notes, marginalia, doodles, boxes, mindmaps, shopping lists, or whatever, these are fantastic.

I really like these markers(pens). They write really nicely(with some exceptions), and they're very durable which is their most redeeming feature - the tips have stayed fine after many hours of use and have no frayed in the slightest. The only thing keeping these from a 5 star rating in my opinion, is the fact that if you don't use them for a short period of time(30seconds to 1 minute), say when you're reading a problem you have to solve, they dry out and you have to cap and uncap them for the ink to flow again. Relatively minor issue, but impacts the experience.Tl;Dr: if you need semi-permenant pens for white boards or other similar uses, get these, they're good.

Wow - I absolutely love these dry erase pens. They are like nothing else I have ever used before and they are perfect for my needs.I waited a long time to write this review so that I had plenty of time to evaluate and I have not been disappointed in the slightest. I've got some adhesive whiteboards up on my wall (from whatisblik.com) and these pens are just perfect for them. One little secret of mine that makes these so awesome is that I use those white "mr clean" miracle cleaning erasers to erase which removes absolutely any trace of a mark on the whiteboards. Without the Mr Clean cleaning erasers, the little "eraser" on the end of these pens doesn't perform very well, so I can understand if any other reviewers are disappointed with this part of the pen.Check out my pics to see what I mean. Hmmm... actually, I just spent several minutes writing with them with each color and then erasing with the mr. clean cleaning eraser and the eraser at the end of the pen and they both worked equally well. I know for certain that I have seen a residue / discoloration on my whiteboard previously when I would use a paper towel, or the eraser.. maybe it's only after being there for several days? Anyway, I'll still include some pictures so you can see the difference between these pens and "small" size expo markers and "regular" size expo markers. Pretty awesome!

I couldn't find a marker that works with my new report notebook my boyfriend got me. This one works perfect. Fine point, does not bleed/pool, drys fast, does not smudge, does not erase *too* easily, but will erase with enough pressure with a paper towel without staining.
