Melamine is a very inexpensive plastic coating used for low grade furniture.
It happens to work fairly well with dry erase markers for a time but
depending on use and care the inks will start to stain the wood below the
plastic surface and cause permanent shadowing and staining. Schools
never specify melamine boards and almost exclusively specify ceramic steel.
The MarkaSteel surface is far superior to Melamine...... No one is ever
happy using melamine for long. Buyers are happy initially with the price but
the unhappy users do catch up with the buyer. Melamine when screen printed
is also has bumps at the printed area since the pink is on top.
The ink can be knocked off or discolor if not black by the markers.
The dye sublimated ink is a color change of the surface and does not stick
above the surface. |
