Loddie Doddie Markers Colors surfaces Reviews Summary

Tip Interchangeability

Pros:

• "Love that you can change the tip for a different size/effect when writing."
• "The marker set says you can take out the tips and trade for a chisel edge, but the regular tip makes a beautiful line."
• "The tips are easy to flip between the chisel and bullet point tips."
• "The interchangeable tip allows for different font styles, boldness of print and ability to create diverse shapes."
• "Each marker has a tip-size choice so you can really accentuate your chalk art."
• "I especially liked that you have the reversible tip to give you the line shape you desire."
• "You can exchange the tip of the markers to ball point or point tip."

Cons:

• "They need better instructions about flipping the nibs over. I had figure it out by trial and error."
• "The only downside is switching the tips. It’s messy!"

Color Quality and Variety

Pros:

• "They lay down color smoothly and nicely. No frustration when it comes to drawing."
• "These markers go on smooth, are vibrant in color and clean off easily"
• "They are very fine-tipped, allowing you to write small or do detailed drawings or embellishment."
• "The colors are vibrant and beautiful, but are permanent. I used on a chalkboard and can't get it to wash off."
• "These markers are awesome. They're nice and thin but all have a good amount of color in them and are nice and opaque."
• "The colors are beautiful, and the ink doesn't run or go thin while using."
• "The colors are vibrant and the metallics are truly metallic so they have reflective qualities (the silver is truly silver and not just a gray!)"

Cons:

• "These do not come off of chalk boards and should not be labeled as ‘chalk markers’!"
• "But some of the colors in this package just will not work (pink and orange) no matter how much I prime and shake."
• "It says earth tones, but the orange is neon! More neon than the neon chalk markers I purchased."
• "The only one that was really great was the white. All of the other ones didn’t last more than 2 months."
• "The golden yellow color doesn't quite look yellow though — it's almost a murky brown color."
• "The colors were really light. White and pink don’t work at all- unable to see them."
• "Also, none of the darker colors show up at all."

Usability and Performance

Pros:

• "These markers will stay put until you intentionally erase them."
• "Definitely made with the chalk paint artist in mind."
• "These chalk markers work perfectly. I’ve been using them on clay pots to indicate what varieties are in each and I love them for that purpose."
• "These pens are so beautiful! They worked perfectly. I followed the directions on the pen and didn’t have a problem getting the color to come out."
• "These markers write so smoothly! The amount of ink flow is perfect for solid lines."
• "These markers work so well, I love that you can change the tip to make it larger or smaller."
• "These markers are brightly colored and easy to maneuver compared to your average chalk."

Cons:

• "It literally takes forever to get the ink to transfer to the tip of the marker."
• "First of all this is my replacement because the first pack markers were dry! Would not write despite the shaking."
• "These worked for a while and now several of the markers just don't work."
• "The markers dried out/didn't have much ink. No matter how much shaking, I couldn't get the ink to come out after a few uses."
• "I was hoping they’d last longer. The ink runs out rather quickly."
• "Every time I go to use them I have to pump the tip & still really don’t want to work."
• "It takes forever to get ink to come out and smashes the tip."

Cleanliness and Maintenance

Pros:

• "They clean off easy and are easy to write with!"
• "Used these markers for chalkboard projects and I love the colours available. Cleans off easily with water, and does not leave obvious 'ghost marks'."
• "Then, it easily wipes away with Windex glass cleaner and paper towels or newspaper."
• "These are great chalk markers!! I’ve tried a few other brands and these are the best so far! Super pigmented and easy to write with."
• "Write clean, no dripping, and easy to clean up."
• "Easy to clean with damp sponge"
• "The markers wipe off of the surfaces easily with a damp cloth."

Cons:

• "They do not erase properly and leave horrible stains!!!"
• "Erasing them from the chalkboard was much more difficult."
• "Vivid colors, goes on smoothly, but very difficult to wipe completely clean."
• "Caution: permanent on porous surfaces, but easy to remove on non-porous surfaces"
• "Horrible!! Had to use magic eraser and alcohol to remove from pottery barn chalk board."
• "These are semi permanent on the chalk painted surfaces."
• "I tried everything to clean the chalk marker off the chalkboard. It stained my chalkboard!"
