Inside our Department's building, we use glass boards instead of the usual blackboards where professors write. So, obviously, our professors use markers for these purposes. I was told that each faculty member is given one box of glassboard markers each. Unfortunately, not all of them work. Some would faint as you write on the board while some don't work altogether. What kind of markers do these factories produce? Tsk tsk. Talk about quality control.
Anyway, it isn't just glassboard markers alone. So goes for pens and even permanent markers. The same old I-am-faint markers that they produce. It is a wonder why they can't make all of their markers work well. It isn't as if they cost a penny in the first place.
Hopefully--just hopefully--Pilot's permanent markers won't be the same. Probably they won't. We're talking about Pilot here and, for the most part, I have had a good experience with Pilot's products.
I won't tell you that Pilot's markers are perfect, for you might hate if something wrong comes up. I can assure you, however, that Pilot's markers are waaaaay better than anything I have tried before. And if I prove to you that I am right, then go the next level and purchase their marker refills. Their permanent markers are refillable, by the way.
Hmmm. Despite this, I am still on the lookout for the perfect pen. Something that would be of top quality but is still affordable. Don't we all like to have one of those?
