There are several different types of whiteboard markers, suited to different individuals. All whiteboard markers have a cap that covers the tip and prevents leakage as well as a reservoir for ink. When it comes time to write on a whiteboard, the pen-like action uncaps the marker and pushes ink onto a roller, which transfers it onto the board.
Whiteboard markers come in three kinds: oil-based paint pens, solvent-based paint pens and dry erase markers. Each has unique qualities making them better suited for certain applications than others. In addition to this there is also felt tip marker which can be used both as a traditional marker or with water to create an artistic effect.
Oil-based markers usually have thicker tips that produce darker lines that are appropriate for doing drafts or sketches. They also tend to be the best markers for cleaning off whiteboards. Solvent-based markers, on the other hand, have finer, thinner tips than oil-based ones and are better at producing fine details. Finally, dry erase markers fall somewhere in between in terms of both their thickness and the darkness of their lines.
One has to take into account what they want to use a marker for before buying it. An artist might prefer water-soluble felt tip markers because they can blend colors by drawing over them with water; however these types of pens must not be used on certain surfaces like overhead projectors where heat is involved since this will cause the ink to boil up and ruin equipment.
The best markers often depend on the specific application. Users should consider what kind of tip they want (thick, thin, etc.), how large an area they need to cover and what surface they will be applying it to.
My favorite colors are green, purple and pink.
