I have a dry erase board calendar for school. I write down all important dates such as birthdays, appointments, school functions, etc. I go through quite a bit markers. I was super happy to get to try these markers out for free. 

Most markers have a high potency smell to them. I can honestly say that these do not carry that smell. I couldn't smell them at all as I was writing on my board.

I looooove the finger grip on the pens as well. This is the first set of markers that i have owned that has the grip. Your fingers will not slip as you are writing. My daughter also has a board where she practices writing her letters and numbers and this grip will be great for her as well.  

The ink flows really smoothly. Some skip as you write and these are perfect. No skips or runs.

I will definitely buy these in the future for not only myself but for my daughter's teacher as well whenever school starts back in August.
