Expo Ultra Fine Point Dry Erase Markers - 24 Pack (2 Boxes of 12) - Fine Tip Whiteboard Markers for Office, Classroom & Home Use - Ideal for Presentations, Teaching & Planning Boards

The markers are working as intended, but as with any dry erase marker will appear "dry" more quickly if I store them on their sides or tip side up. To those claiming their markers are dry upon arrival, it might be worth trying to store them upside down for awhile (like a day?) and trying to write with them.As expected. I ordered two boxes and have only used one marker so far. I use them on various whiteboards for practicing Kanji and other languages, as well as notes and diagrams for computer science and software development. These Ultra Fine tips work excellently and I can get much more information into smaller spaces than even just the Fine tips. I will buy more of these later and recommend them to others.They are ultra fine, but also ultra expensive. I use them in my classroom for students to do math facts timed tests on wipe-off sheets. It’s not realistic for me to spend $26 (on two packages) every couple of months, so I’m not sure what I will do next time. After a couple of weeks, the tips are worn down and are no longer as fine as they started.I am in hospital and unable to speak, the marker allow me to write small enough that I can get complete thoughts down on my dry erase board. nice thin line is easy to read.Sadly when we got around to using the markers both boxes were full of dried out useless markers. It is past the return time frame so only thing I can do is write a review.I am in medical school and these are perfect for taking notes while watching videos. I love the ultra fine tip, which allows me to fit more on my white board and in more detail than even the fine tip.I use these when teaching drawing. They have a nice fine point for detailsI was worried how long these would last on a white board and they have suprised and done exceptionally well highly recommended.
