Are chisel tip or fine tip dry erase markers better?
Reviewer consensus
It depends on the surface. Reviewers on r/Professors and r/Teachers overwhelmingly favor chisel tips for classroom whiteboards because the broad stroke is readable from the back of the room and the angled tip can also turn on its edge for thinner lines. Fine and ultra-fine tips win on dry-erase calendars, planners, and small home boards where chisel strokes are too thick. Several r/stationery posts in our sample specifically call standard fine tips 'too fat' for calendar use and recommend ultra-fine.
