When writing on a chalkboard with these, do they actually look as if they were done with chalk?

I use them on the 'fake' chalkboard sheets ando in my opinion, they look more fluid than regular chalk. Like what you see on the bright menu boards etc at bars and restaurants. Im thinking depending how intense you make the letters could change how chalky they appear!

They are not permanent is used correctly on a non-porous blackboard (magnetic chalkboard). I write and then erase (using a water/baby wipe or damp sponge, sometimes WEEKS later) and then rewrite all the time for my baby boy's "Monthly Birthday Board". Having said that, I'm not sure if they are permanent if used on a paper surface or on cloth, since that is not their intended use.

No, the ink in these pens is transparent. You want something opaque or chalky for fabric.

You can write on them but they do mark up easy because of being thermal paper. If you happen to drag a fingernail across it then you will get a faint mark. Kind of like receipt paper does. The lables are fairly thick though.

They don't show up on black poster board. You get the same look that you would if you wrote on black posterboard with a hilighter. If you write with them on black, it will show up under a black light. Someone said that the blue isn't UV reactive, but this is not true - it DOES glow under a black light, it's just that blue is more difficult to see than the other colors. I own these markers and can assure you that all the colors are UV reactive.If you want to write on black posterboard, you will need to use a paint pen/marker.

Honestly, I haven't used it. I put big sheets of paper on that side because my 4 year old loves to paint. But it does look like an ok chalkboard. Nothing super high quality though.

If they are "wet erase" I believe they do come off with water. You can write on these with Permanent Sharpies, but that won't come off. We've created "generic" signs so we don't have to change the message. (Sign up for VBS This week!) instead of using dates. If you use Wet Erase that may come off, but I haven't tried it. And if it rains, it also may come off. I've also taken a design to a graphic artist and got a 24x36 sheet that we then stuck on to the panel. It's waterproof and if we want to change it, we just have to peal it off. The "stick on designs" are pricy, but if you plan on using them all year (Worship on Sunday at 9 AM - All Welcome) it's worth it. Blessings, Tom

The best answer is no, because they are too fine of a point to show up well on black. Your best bet would be pastel pens with a bolder point.

I have written on them with a sharpie just fine. The white side is just a waxy sort of paper designed to be peeled off to reveal the glue underneath. But if you leave the backing on, you can write on it just fine.

There was no gloss on my board. It's like what they used in schools before the white boards. However, I did chalk it before I used it for the time. I recommend doing that.

These do not come with a white surface but you can still write on them with a Sharpie. I do it all the time.

No. It's one of those marker chalkboards. It's really nice and cleans well, but it isn't a standard chalkboard and requires those special chalkboard markers instead of regular chalk.

You can remove them whit a little work , and no residue ,just dont use chalk if they are going in cups because the hands erase what ever you write on them

They are paper, but the color is very dark navy blue. I wrote on mine with Sharpie. I can see it, but the writing doesn't really stand out.

Hi.. unfortunately they won't write on black paper. After you asked this question I tried it on a black paper and I can't see anything. Hope this helps. But I liked them.

I just use regular chalkboard chalk: colored and white, also I've used sidewalk chalk. I haven't tried the liquid chalk pens, so I can't comment on those.

No, these are just like regular gel pens. You should try wet erase markers or dry erase markers for that.
