The use of chalk and chalkboards for classes, meetings, and instructions is outdated. Very few people and organizations still use chalk to write messages and notices for home and business needs. Chalk breaks easily and could cause dust allergies.
The use of chalk markers has made all the difference because they do not emit dust and last much longer. The use of these markers is not limited to schools and businesses. You can use them to write and draw on mirrors, glass, metal, and other nonporous surfaces. Liquid markers come in different colours and can be used to create art and crafts.
They are Versatile
Liquid markers come in a range of different shades and tones. They even come in neon and fluorescent options. The fluorescent options glow when you use LED lights. You may use it on dark surfaces. Since there are so many color variations, you could get creative with liquid markers. People use them to create signs, sketches, and wall art on nonporous walls. You can use different tones and shades to highlight different parts of a diagram, pie-chart, or graph.
They come With Tips and Nibs of Different Sizes.
The tips may be “fine,” small, large or jumbo. “Fine” and small-sized tips are used for detailing. The mini tips range from 1mm to 2mm. They are also great for calligraphy, cursive, and writing on small cards or letters. Chalk markers with large tips are perfect for highlighting points on a written document or notice board. The tip size ranges between 6mm to 15mm. Markers with large tips are also great for filling and coloring on whiteboards or glass boards.
Check the Quality and Type of Ink.
Chalk marker ink may be opaque, water-based, or pigmented. You can easily wipe off the writing or sketch with a damp cloth or wet wipe. More and more restaurants are now using liquid markers and glass boards to write down daily specials. Shop owners are also using liquid markers to draw on windows for decoration. You may want to watch out for markers that come with alcohol-based ink or permanent pigments.They may stain the glass or surface permanently.
Price of the Markers
Liquid markers are more expensive than chalk, but they are also more durable. If you are using the markers to create graphs or sketches to present to potential investors or clients, it may be best to buy expensive high-quality markers. If you only want to use the markers to write down simple messages or informal notices for your employees, you could go for more affordable markers.
Artists are now using liquid markers to create art in studios, restaurants, and even streets. If you plan on using the markers to create and display statement artwork, it would be best to invest in upscale brands that offer a range of color options.
