Shuttle Art Ultra Fine Tip Whiteboard Pens (15-pack) – 0.7mm Black dry-erase markers
Product description
If you like writing that’s neat and controlled, these Shuttle Art ultra fine tip whiteboard pens are designed for exactly that kind of detail work. The 0.7mm felt tips make them feel more like a precision marker than a thick “big line” board pen, which is handy for planners, labels and small diagrams.
That said, they’re also very much a dry-wipe style: they’re meant to be used on non-porous surfaces and wiped clean, not left to soak in or be permanent. If you need something that behaves like a permanent marker, this isn’t the route to take.
The essentials
This is a 15-pack of black ultra fine felt tip dry-erase whiteboard markers from Shuttle Art. On paper, the pitch is simple: smooth writing, quick drying, and easy wipe-off from whiteboards and other non-porous surfaces. The set is positioned as good value for money, so it suits everyday use at home, in a classroom, or in an office where you go through board markers.
There’s also a clear “safety and materials” note: the pens are described as low-odor and free from xylene & toluene, and they’re said to conform to ASTM D-4236 and EN71 standards. It’s not a product claim you should ignore—especially if you’re sensitive to smells or you’re buying for school settings—though the listing also states it’s not suitable for children under 3.
Where they shine in everyday writing
The ultra fine 0.7mm tips are the standout feature here. Instead of broad strokes, you can expect tighter lines that help with:
- small handwriting in meeting notes or classroom instructions
- tidy checklists and bullet points on planners
- more controlled labels on glass or whiteboard-style organisers
A quick micro-example: imagine you’re updating a weekly plan on a wall-mounted whiteboard. With an ultra fine tip, you can add a short reminder (“Parent evening: Thu”) without flooding the board with ink. When you later wipe it clean with a cloth or eraser, you’re not left with heavy residue—at least that’s the intended behaviour for dry-wipe markers.
What to watch for before buying
These pens are for dry-wipe use on non-porous surfaces, and the listing implies washable ink that can be wiped off from whiteboards, glass, planners and most non-porous materials with a cloth or eraser. If your surface is textured, porous, or absorbs ink, results may be less satisfying than you’d hope.
Also worth noting: the product guidance says to store the markers horizontally to avoid ink leakage. That’s a small detail, but it can matter if you keep pens in a vertical pot or drawer.
And there’s a limitation baked into the “dry-erase” category: if you leave writing too long, or you wipe aggressively, any marker can get patchy over time. This set is built for regular wipe-downs, not for long-term permanent notes.

Is it a good fit for you?
It’s a good fit if you want ultra fine black dry-erase pens for detailed writing on whiteboards, glass, or planner surfaces, and you’re buying a multi-pack to cover day-to-day use.
It might not suit you if you need a thicker marker line for bold signage, or if you’re looking for permanent marker performance (dry-wipe is a different job). You may also want to skip this if you don’t have a non-porous surface to wipe clean, because the whole point is that the ink should remove easily.
Is it worth it?
A solid pick if your priority is clear, controlled handwriting with ultra fine 0.7mm felt tips—especially where classroom, office and home planners all see regular use. The low-odor and xylene/toluene-free positioning is a sensible extra, and the 15-pack format helps if you expect to replace markers over time.
But if you need thick, high-contrast strokes for large displays, or you want ink that stays truly permanent, you’ll likely be happier elsewhere. For the right surfaces and the right expectations, these are a practical value-for-money option rather than a “premium only” buy.
Mini FAQ
How do these markers clean up?
They’re described as dry-wipe markers with washable ink, designed to wipe off from whiteboards, glass, planners and most non-porous surfaces using a cloth or eraser.
Are they suitable for kids?
The listing says they are not suitable for children under 3 years old. For older school use, the compliance notes (ASTM D-4236 and EN71) are listed, but you should still follow any age-appropriate guidance you apply at home or in school.
What’s the tip size, and why it matters?
They use 0.7mm ultra fine felt tips. That usually translates to more precise writing and better control for small text and detail work.
Can I store them upright?
The instructions say to store the markers horizontally to avoid ink leakage.
Final verdict
Buying these makes sense if you’re after ultra fine black dry-erase writing for everyday planning and board work on non-porous surfaces, and you want a multi-pack that’s priced for regular use.
