This is going to be the first of our new segment for “Quick Office Supply Tips.”  These are based on real questions from customers that we feel could benefit others considering purchasing office supplies, office furniture, etc.  The questions are not in any particular order at this time and they are posted as we receive them from our customers.  I really hope they help and please feel free to post comments!

CUSTOMER: Does the Quartet Magnetic Dry Erase Board promote “ghosting?”

QUARTET REPLY: Ghosting occurs as a result of the solvents (usually alcohol) in dry markers that effectively make the board cleaner where there has been writing. This remains visible after the ink is wiped off, but ghosting disappears after a short time. The Quartet Magnetic Dry Erase Board is not supposed to at all because it’s porcelain; melamine boards are at a higher risk for ghosting.
