Ori Whiteboard 2-Pen Set

For Ori-ginal thinkers: a whiteboard marker designed to keep up with brainstorming sessions, lesson plans, project timelines and big ideas – without creating a trail of disposable plastic along the way.

The humble whiteboard marker probably doesn't get the credit it deserves. Some of our best thinking happens with one in hand – ideas are worked out, problems solved, lessons taught and plans brought to life.

For a tool we rely on for so much, we thought it deserved a little more consideration. If they take pride in their work, why shouldn't the tools they use reflect that too?

So we started from the ground up.

The Ori Whiteboard combines a precision Japanese-made marker tip with refillable, water-based dry erase ink and a beautifully engineered anodised aluminium body that's designed to last a lifetime.

Whether they're sketching concepts, teaching a class, planning their next project or mapping out their biggest ideas. Ori is built to be refilled, reused and relied upon – again and again.

Please note: The Ori Whiteboard comes with Bullet tips only – Brush and Highlighter tips are available to purchase separately.

What ink can they use? The Ori is compatible with all of our Water-based Permanent inks, highlighter inks, standard Fountain Pen Inks and Fibre Tip Inks. Please note the Ori is not suitable for use with our Shimmer Fountain Pen Inks or Calligraphy Inks.

To ensure the best performance and clean erasure, we recommend using only Tom's Studio Whiteboard Ink and only in reservoirs that have previously been used with Whiteboard Ink. Reservoirs that have been filled with other ink types may retain traces of pigment or binder, which can affect writing performance and erasability. For the very best results, keep a dedicated set of reservoirs for their Whiteboard Ori.

How long will the tips/ink last?

They can expect the high-quality, Japanese-made tip to last for months of use. We tested a single reservoir fill in the Ori on a plotter – a device used for precision drawing – and it wrote consistently for 228 metres. That’s enough writing to cover almost an entire 4 × 6 ft classroom whiteboard!

Does it erase cleanly? Yes. The water-based dry erase ink is formulated to wipe clean from suitable whiteboard surfaces with a dry cloth or eraser, leaving their board ready for the next brilliant idea.

How do they store the reservoirs and tips? If a reservoir or tip is inked, it must never be left to dry out. Always store inked parts in an airtight container. If ink dries inside, the reservoir or tip will clog and can't be used again. If they want to clean a reservoir, rinse thoroughly to remove all ink, then allow it to dry completely before re-inking.
