Noodler Waterase + Preppy's
 

So, I could not resist playing around with a new set of Noodler's Waterase
ink. This is my first time getting a chance to play with wet erase markers
instead of dry erase and especially getting to use a nice refillable marker
instead of others. It's also my first time with an eye dropper style feed
instead of a piston or pump of some sort.

The markers are quite brittle feeling, but pretty fun, nonetheless, and I
love writing with this Black waterase ink so much more than with the dry
erase ones. I've not dealt with the constant drying out that I usually
associate with markers and I get a nicer, bolder line than I usually do.

So far I have only tested with my small little board at home, but I am going
to have to see how well these work as lecture markers in a classroom or
collaborative whiteboarding session. I have a feeling that the
collaboration could be strange when others use dry erase markers on a board
and I am using a wet erase, but many of the boards we have are so bad that
we have to wash them off constantly during use anyways.

Overally, I am pleased with this pen and ink set, and I have to admit that
it it just kind of neat to be able to bring my world of wet ink fountain
pens to my whiteboards. Who knows whether I will continue to use them or
not?

Have the rest of you ever played with these? Did you hate them? Like them?

I hadn't even *heard* of them, but I agree that it's a great idea, and a
good way for Noodler's to expand its potential market.

I can report after using them for a bit that the feel when writing with them
is the best in a marker board pen that I have had. The ink is *so* nice and
free flowing, crisp, and clear. It doesn't dry out, and it writes like a
dream.

On the other hand, being a wet erase ink, it *does* take a little more work
if you want to erase something quickly that you just accidently scribed.
That means that you have to be a little more sure that you want to write
something when you write it, but otherwise, I do not find the "bulk erase"
at the end of a doodle session of when switching out to new ideas to be bad
at all.

We will see how durable these preppy's are, but the ink is great.
