Buying office supplies is not the relatively easy task that is once was-and that's a good thing. There are so many manufacturers out there trying to make a name for themselves that the buyer of office supplies is able to be as choosy as he or she wishes when it comes to product features, prices and capacity. This phenomenon, believe it or not, even extends to items as seemingly straightforward as whiteboards--also known as dry-erase boards. There is a surprising amount of difference between the offerings of the different manufacturers of whiteboards out there, and here in this article, we will take a look at some of the product features that Quartet has included in its innovative line of whiteboards and dry-erase marker boards. 1. DuraMax Porcelain: If you have worked with dry erase boards in any capacity, you have run into the problems of scratches and dents that erasers and pens-as well as normal, everyday transport and handling--can leave behind. Quartet has come up with a great solution in the form of DuraMax porcelain--a hard wearing, extremely durable surface that Quartet claims will stand up to even the highest traffic, heaviest handed use. 2. Total Erase Surface: Another problem that comes along with the cheaper dry erase boards is that of ghosting or staining. Nothing is more frustrating or distracting than trying to give a presentation, and not being able to cleanly erase whatever was on the board before. Though occasional cleaning is required, there is no board out there with a better erasing performance. 3. Magnetic Surface: Having your dry erase board double as a magnetic surface increases your flexibility immensely, essentially making it so your whiteboard can double as a bulletin board as well. This is also a great way to attach communications and documents without damaging them, as you would with the normal push-pin type of bulletin board. 4. Grid: If you've ever found yourself under pressure at an important presentation, and needing to draw a lot of straight lines, or do more precise writing on a dry erase board, you will truly appreciate Quartet's grid feature. The pattern it uses is subtle and dotted, and best of all, it remains invisible to your audience. 5. ISTA: Nothing is worse than ordering a high-end product and finding that is has been damaged in shipping. ISTA stands for International Safe Transit Association, and it means that the packaging that Quartet uses is tested and certified to arrive free of damage. 6. Quartet Motion Conference System: A very versatile presentation system, this is a very portable system that offers many possibilities. The cabinet has a built-in mounting track, so you can take it anywhere, and there is a privacy screen that can cover up to four boards at once, enabling you to present in sections, and to keep your audience from jumping ahead. All of the boards are also double sided, so you can prepare some of them ahead of time, and display them when you see fit. As an added bonus, according to Quartet, the motion boards weigh in at a very reasonable four pounds making them easy to handle and transport.
