This dry erase marker is very pigmented and does not dry out fast. The packaging mentions low odor and it indeed does not have a strong unbearable scent.

Our daughter who is in preschool uses these expo markers everyday when practicing her writing. We are a fan of the price point (you can get one for $1.25 at the dollar tree), the low odor, and the longevity of these. Teacher, student, and mama approved.

I love these markers! I have a small whiteboard on my fridge with a black expo attached. We write down things we need throughout the week and after we shop we're able to erase and start again. It's so much better than wasting paper.
