What is the difference between a whiteboard pen and a marker pen?

Whiteboard pens and marker pens, although both belong to the category of markers, have clear differences in core attributes, usage characteristics, and applicable scenarios.

Whiteboard pen:

Whiteboard pen is a water-based marker designed specifically for whiteboard writing, with the core feature of easy erasing.
Pen tip material: Made of synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon, and shaped into fiber pen tips through resin bonding. It has elasticity, uniform ink output, wear resistance, and is not easy to split.
Writing characteristics: Using water-based easily erasable ink, the ink will solidify and form a film on the surface of the whiteboard. After wiping, it will turn into strip-shaped or block shaped particles without leaving any stains; Even if the pen cap is not covered for a long time, it is not easy to dry up, and the pen head can still write smoothly and smoothly when immersed in water.
Core features: Supports repeated erasure and modification, some products support adding ink, environmentally friendly and more cost-effective.

Marking pen:

Marking pens are pens used for marking various materials, divided into two categories: oil-based and water-based, with permanent marking as the core function.
Pen tip material: It is also made of polymer materials such as plastic and fiber, and is designed with different thicknesses and lengths according to different uses. For example, long tip markers can be used to work in narrow gaps.
Writing characteristics: The oil-based marker pen uses oil-based ink, which is waterproof, light resistant, permanently attached, and not easy to fade. The handwriting is difficult to erase; Water based markers can write on smooth surfaces and can be erased, but their stability and durability are weaker than oil-based ones.
Core features: Covering multiple types of segmentation (durability, fluorescence, whiteboard use, color ink pen, etc.), adaptable to different marking scenarios, most of which cannot be refilled with ink.
