Student preferences keep evolving rapidly, which led to the inception of the ever popular novelty markers that include mini versions as well as scented ones. If those are not in keeping with your requirements, opt for a standard set of markets in 8 basic shades with a broad tip and completely washable. Specific markers are available for dry erase boards, while permanent markers are highly lucrative for students submitting projects via electronic media like CDs and DVDs, and can also be used for etching data on glass and metal surfaces.
