Best Writing Pens

I have these for laminating Arc Project Planner pages for notes and meetings. After typing my notes, I wanted to just delete the sheet and reuse it instead of buying more sheets (50 for $4.99). I tried the pens/markers shown in the picture. Frixion Clicker Pens and Expo Fine Dry Erase Markers write best. While I would have preferred a matte finish, I reckon my favorite Frixion clickers work well with them. After I made some leaves, it was much easier and faster, make a few more leaves. I had never done anything like this before, so I had to learn how to best use them. When I started I had huge air pockets on one side. Trying to remove the laminate to move it was tedious because it adheres so well. The material you attach it to will determine how easy it is to remove and reposition. The Arc pages are plain paper, so the paper was slightly torn a couple of times and stuck to the laminate. The sides from which I couldn't remove the air pockets have a crease where the laminate is wrinkled. Luckily, the air pockets I got always ended up where I started, so I made sure to start at the bottom of the paper. I have also purchased Avery laminated sheets and tested them with all handles. in the picture. Both have similar results, but the Frixion Clicker and Expo Fine Dry Erase markers are the best. In terms of value for money, they are significantly cheaper than Avery at $0.25 per sheet compared to Avery's $0.63 per sheet.

Pros
  • Provides an extra layer of protection for your document as the reinforced, glossy surface prevents scratches and scuffs. This sheet is water resistant. 4.76 mil thin form factor for high structural rigidity.
Cons
  • Obsolete
