i notice the reviews about not being able to write on the chalk board side, has this problem been fixed? (reviews are from 2011/2012)

I think this question is for the manufacturer...but I was able to fix the problem by painting over the existing finish with chalkboard paint. Writes fine now. I purchased the easel aware of the issue by reading the reviews but it was the nicest one I had found and I'm not sorry. The quality is good and I knew the issue would be an inexpensive fix. Hope this helps!

We have never had a problem writing with chalk on the chalkboard side. We received ours as a Christmas gift in 2011.

unfortunately there is not. One side is dry erase board/painting surface and the other is a chalkboard. reviews were bad about both, but the paper holder, paint tray and adjustability make it great for the price.

Oh I forgot to mention, if you write left handed it is possible that you could smear what you just wrote but I see this only as a possible problem for fast writers.Greg.

I also have the 5-color keyboard and had only one key (the del key) that had the sticking problem. I was able to fix it simply. I think the 3-color keyboards are a bit more prone to the problem but only based on the other reviewers. I think (just an option) the 5-color keyboards, costing more are an upgrade to the 3-color and so receive a little more care during prep and assembly.

Hi T Guinn, I have the same issue as you and what i did was to paste the Livescribe sticky notes on my ppt printout. Another way is to indicate the slide no when writing notes on the Livescribe note pad.

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.

My white writes fine on our chalkboard.Use Dawn Power Dissolver (it's for gunked up pans and such). Works like a charm! I just did my chalk board with it and it's beautiful and easy to write on now! You should be able to get it at any grocery store or Wal-mart.

Sorry it's working' that way for you. It has been just as good as my initial pen for my CTE-661. Perhaps you can re-install the Wacom software or your OS devices in Control Panel icons. Best of luck and good outcomes.

they write very well on chalkboard paint, however they will not remove easily. I have found that you need to paint over with more chalkboard paint if you would like it to remove cleanly.

It works well. It works really well as long as the chalkboard is clean. When you shake it and press down the tip the ink comes out fluidly and makes writing on a chalkboard really easy. This pen writes really clearly too, straight and crisp, no smears. HOWEVER, when you wipe it off with a rag, it MUST BE DRY. If the liquid is not dry then it will smear horribly. So if you plan on teaching or something with it, where you erase often without time between, I'd reconsider. Instead get one of those pen holder things that hold chalk and make it like writing with a pen.

Wobbly may be a bit of an exaggeration but there can be a bit of movement in the tip. I have a two Graph Gear 1000's, one tip has no movement and the other has maybe a 1/2 mm movement. The movement is imperceptible while writing though, at least for me.

Hi Brenda! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) Yes our stylus will work beautifully with most applications on a touchscreen (capacitive) device. I have never personally tried the chalkboard app, but we are very generous with our return/replacement policy if it ends up that it does not work to your satisfaction. Hope this helps, please do contact us at our storefront email if you have further questions. Here is the link:

A. Madison,I had heard from a friend that she was having the same problem and that Vista was the suspected culprit. I decided to return the idesign to the store, unfortunately. I know my daughter would have loved it and she was disappointed it went back.....but I didn't find a way around the problem. If you hear of anything else....please keep me posted. Thanks.

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.

I hope the writing side is up, as that is how I use it. The mat has been working out very well for me. I just do some balance poses on the hardwood floor as I am not good enough yet to do them on the mat.

yes. I write on both sides with no concerns. you can see that there is something written on the other side, but it doesn't really show through.

I was having a very hard time until I thoroughly cleaned my whiteboard. Even though it looked clean, apparently it had some sort of build-up on it. I wiped it down several times with a commercial whiteboard cleaner after having absolutely no luck. While never a "breeze," calibration became easier and faster after cleaning my board and never writing on it at all while using the Now Board.
