Water makers
Think they made these Whiteboard markers with 90% water and 10% ink. More than half of my markers are barely visible. I've boughten whiteboard markers from Shein that WORK BETTER than these. Very unfortunate.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the EXPO Dry Erase Markers Ultra Fine Tip. We’re sorry to hear that several of the markers appeared faint and did not perform as expected. We understand how frustrating that can be, especially when you rely on clear visibility when writing on a whiteboard. You may want to try a few troubleshooting steps that can sometimes help restore ink flow: - Store the markers horizontally for a short period of time to help redistribute the ink inside the barrel. - Press the tip lightly on a writing surface for a few seconds to help re-saturate the tip with ink. - Ensure the caps are fully secured after use, as exposure to air can dry out the tips. If the markers continue to write faintly after trying these steps, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you!

Does not last
Bought 10.03.25 and as of 03.01.26, all colors but the black is dry. I use them once a month to write out my big calendar on the fridge. Love the fine tip but that doesn't last. No matter how light I write, the tip eventually flattens (some colors within a month) and it feels like you're using a regular tip marker. I wish they will stay extra fine and have enough ink to last more than 5 months.

2/2 pack dried out, do not work
Horrible! None of the markers worked in the first pack I ordered, they were all dried. I requested a replacement, and 3 of the 4 markers in that pack are also dried out. Awful quality, do not purchase.

These were great but now I can’t erase half of my calendar! I’ve tried water and windex.

Meh
I used the green marker ONCE and it’s already dry. Soaking it in water hasn’t helped. I’ve been able to get a few uses out of blue marker and it’s still fine, but the ink seems kind of weaker than my older Expo markers.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the EXPO Low‑Odor Dry Erase Markers. We’re sorry to hear that the green marker dried out after just one use and that the blue marker isn’t performing as strongly as your older EXPO markers. That’s definitely not the level of quality we aim to deliver. The markers should write with bold, consistent color right out of the package, and they shouldn’t dry out after minimal use. We appreciate you letting us know this wasn’t your experience, and we’d like to help make it right. When you have a moment, please reach out to us directly with details about your purchase so our team can assist you further. Your feedback is important and helps us continue improving our products.

I love the fine tip, but after a few uses it is definitely not as fine tip. The tip spreads out and writes thicker.

Dry markers
Half of the markers came dry right when i opened it, even after shaking them nothing is coming out. The ink got all over the cap and it was a hassle to clean up.

Should have read the reviews before purchasing. We've used these only a handful of times and they've already dried out! Some of them already came dried.

Expo Ultra Fine Markers
The markers are extremely light and not good for whiteboard uses.
1 reply from Expo Markers Team team - 9 months ago
Hello, Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that the EXPO® Low Odor Dry Erase Markers Ultra-Fine Tip, Assorted Colors (8 Count) did not meet your expectations. These markers are designed with an ultra-fine tip for precise, detailed writing, ideal for small-format surfaces like calendars, planners, or laminated worksheets. However, because of their fine tip and low-odor formula, the ink may appear lighter and less bold, especially on larger whiteboards or when viewed from a distance. Why the Color May Appear Light: Ink Flow Control: Ultra-fine tips are engineered for controlled, minimal ink flow, which can look faint on bright or glossy surfaces. Low-Odor Formula: These markers contain less alcohol-based solvent, contributing to lighter color payoff compared to chisel tip or bold markers. Intended Use: They work best on smooth, small-scale, non-porous surfaces, not large whiteboards intended for presentations or classroom use. Recommendations: For bolder, more visible writing on standard or large whiteboards, we recommend trying EXPO® Bold Color Dry Erase Markers with Chisel or Fine Tips, which offer more vibrant color and thicker lines. If you still prefer a fine line but need richer color, the EXPO® Precision Point or EXPO® Fine Tip markers may provide better ink density while maintaining control. We appreciate your input and are always looking for ways to improve. If you need our help, please reach out to us via our official website contact form, and we will be happy to assist further. Thank you! Expo Consumer Care

Not erasable
Would not come off my dry erase calendar. Must erase very quickly or it will become permanent.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear about your experience with the EXPO® Low Odor Dry Erase Markers Ultra-Fine Tip, Assorted Colors (8 Count). These markers are designed for use on non-porous surfaces such as whiteboards, glass, and some laminated calendars. However, ultra-fine tip markers contain a smaller amount of ink that can dry more quickly, especially on surfaces that are not true dry erase boards or are slightly porous, like some dry erase calendars. This faster drying time can make the ink more difficult to remove if not erased promptly. To help with erasing dried or stubborn marks, we recommend the following: Use an EXPO eraser: These are specifically designed to work with EXPO markers.. Try Rubbing Alcohol: If you don't have a board cleaner, a solution containing at least 70% isopropyl alcohol on a microfiber cloth can help remove set ink. Avoid Abrasive Materials: Do not use rough sponges or pads, as they may damage the surface and make it harder to erase in the future. Surface Type Matters: For best results, use these markers on high-quality, smooth dry erase boards. If your calendar surface is textured or semi-porous, the ink may absorb slightly and be harder to clean. We appreciate your input and will forward it to our product team. If you need our help, please reach out to us via our official website contact form, and we will be happy to assist further. Thank you! Expo Consumer Care
