I went to Target last night and found:
Expo Click low odor dry erase markers. Just one click and the marker appears and just one click the marker tip goes back in untill you next show. Many a unconfortable moment taking off and putting on the marker tip during a performance. Not any more with the new "Expo Click" low odor. Only thing is I had to buy 3 color pack just to get one "Black". All I could find on line was this. http://www.registration.expocolors.com/ If any of you find a better source, pleas share it with us. So life is better for me because that market made it a little easier to do my show. Just trying to help my buddies on the Café' - Nez

Wow! Great discovery Nez! I'll look into them. Being "low odor" they are the right formula (alcohol based). Are they the same line thickness as the broad tip we use now, or are they thinner like a sharpie?
Interesting I just checked with the Manufacturer "Sanford" and they don't list them yet.... I wonder if this is a test marketing thing. Here is their website... http://www.expomarkers.com/sanford/consu......d=237349 Ax

I used one in a show today and all was good.
Yes the line thickness is the same. You just have to hold the pen at the right angle to get the thick line.

Got this from Expomaarkers.com and it contains several sources for the new Expo 2's which are low odor.

Thanks for the posting. I already had one dry out because I forgot to put the lid back on. I will try my local Staples tomorrow!

Staples has them on their web site in both black 3 packs and multi-color 3 packs. Not sure if they're in stores yet. I will know tonight.

Hi All,
I just bought a pack of these pens from Staples. Pack of 3 black pens cost me $6.50 Canadian. They are a broad tip and work great! MJ |

I have not been able to find these at Staples or Office Depot locally.
Where have you found them in the US? |
