Why do my Expo markers keep drying out so fast?

This is the single most consistent complaint we saw. Multiple r/Teachers threads, including one explicitly titled around Expo quality, report markers drying out faster than they used to and ink lifting harder off the board. Reviewers' workarounds include storing markers tip-down, capping immediately after use, and rotating to a second brand like Crayola Take Note or Amazon Basics for daily writing while reserving fresh Expos for presentations.
