Liquid Chalk Markers, 10 Pack Earth Colors, Chalk Ink Pens, Medium Tip 6mm

Starting the new year writing inspirational notes to myself on my bathroom mirror. These are perfect. Great opaque colors, I chose earth tones and they're great. I like that it's a family owned business too.

I only use a few of the colors because some of them are just too dark (I think) to use with a black chalkboard, but I do like these markers very much. Yes, it takes a minute or two to get the chalk flowing on the first use, but you need to remember these aren't dry erase makers. These have to be primed before their first use. I shook them very well, the using a plain piece of paper I gently pressed on the long edge of the marker until the tip disappeared and I held it until I saw the chalk bleed onto the paper. I replaced the cap, shook it again then started using it. Once it's been primed you shouldn't have to do that again unless you don't use it for a couple of days. A good shake is all you need.

Really like these. They are easy to clean. My only issue is that when you are using it for the very first time, you have to shake it and then press it until the tip fills with the chalk, but some of them were REALLY quick to fill and got all over my chalkboard. Which is fine because they are easy to clean, but if you’re working on chalk art and you don’t want it to potentially be ruined then start your marker on something other than the board :)

These are absolutely lovely colors and I wish we had quality permanent markers in so many different colors, especially earth tones. I have indeed found permanent markers in beautiful, unusual colors. Unfortunately, one must be prepared to pay a small fortune for coloring markers and I'm not "one of them"!! But I digress to get into what I'm here for. These are gorgeous and great.I went one star down because it's not as easy to clean as per manufacturer description. Indeed, it CAN be wiped all the way. However, with much more effort wiping and rubbing than the "easy wiping" promised. I used very good quality microfiber cloth and some water to wipe it off wooden material. Another thing that works well is mixing water with wild orange essential oil! It makes a lot easier to wipe these babies out!!! LOL!!! On the "pros" side of the "hard to wipe clean" con, these look as if you applied paint or real markers so they really turn out beautiful looking finish...so there is a bright side to the wipe away inconvenience. Definitely recommend these beautiful chalk colors and markers. I may be trying different brands to compare quality because Crafty Croc prices seem rather stiff to me. However, if cheaper stuff compromises quality, I'd say these are worth the investment. This is the first time I use chalk markers and am loving and having art fun with it. You must shake them well with pointer upwards, away from the ground and make sure cap is on, otherwise, these can make quite the "colorful liquid mess"! And yes, I learned this "the hard way". Thankfully, spots were over quality linoleum kitchen floor, which I found wasn't so difficult to wipe clean as wood yet I still had to put on quite the scrubbing. After you give it a good shake (remember, cap on and pointer up), turn the pointer down and wait for the liquid color to cover entire pointer. I was able to see even the white liquid over white pointer and knew when to begin working.I highly recommend putting cap back on between breaks (to cover liquid filled pointer). These things are like paint yet dry up quickly in chalk like powder form. Directions tell us to store these markers in a flat, horizontal position. I'm sure this is to prevent the liquid from pooling either over the pointer or in the opposite (top) end, depending on which end the markers rest. I just placed them flat in a easy to carry caddy so I can take them along wherever my new "art mission" may be in the house (or outside!).I bought 24 pack, which turns out much better price value per unit, which is significantly less than the 10 pack unit value. The box comes with a couple replacement pointers... Considering I got 24 pack, I thought they could've + should've provided more replacement pointers. Since this is my first time using liquid chalk markers, I may not be aware that we only need few extra replacement pointers? As far as extra replacement pointers, I have no idea or clue! Who knows? Maybe the extra pointers are unlikely necessity, in which case I'd have to commend manufacturers for proving extra replacement parts??? I'm definitely chalked up on this one!!! LOL!If you're hesitating on trying these, go for it! They work beautifully! Just make sure your toddlers and smaller kiddos don't get a hold of it while you're not looking!!! Ha!

I have tried a lot of different brands for my small sign business and these chalkboard markers are by far the best I have ever used!!! Especially on the chalkboard spray paint I use. Other brands don't glide as well, so I keep having to go over it,, which takes a lot of time. These markers have saved me so much time!! And the colors are so vibrant there is no need to put on a second coat!! And, if I do make a mistake, it comes off super easy. These are the only chalkboard markers I will buy for now on!! The pic I am posting is a custom sign I made for someone, and the first time I used the markers. I love them!! - Salt City Custom Sign Painting

After trying lots of other brands of chalk markers I have finally settled on this brand. I've been using this brand for over a year now and I continue to love it. I do a lot of artwork on my chalkboard and my markers will last anywhere from three to six months. They do not dry out after a long spells and the ink comes out in a study continuous flow. I also feel that they are completely worth the value of the price I pay.

Easy to clean off chalk board & very pigmented

they would dry out quickly on cold windows
