Just wanted to say we use your pens all the time at my work and we love them. They are reliable, refillable and economical. We try to use as many green products as possible at our Centre - some are successful and some just don't work - Auspen is a winner all round, the staff love them and they work. We will not buy another whiteboard marker while we are able to buy your pens. Thanks for your product and congratulations.Marlene Fraser
I am so pleased to have finally found a product doing what I had always imagined should exist, but didn't.
Its great to see such innovation in the Australian market, and it has been a long while since I have been so enthused about a product!

Our teachers love their auspen markers - they are easy to locate - unlike single markers, easy to refill - can't do that with other markers and easy to replace. One teacher has had her box of auspen markers for 4 years, she is rapt.Wendy Watsford

We have been testing this product with our “high use” teachers. We have found them very economical and good quality and now intend to use them for all our staff. Not only do the financial savings impress us, but also the environmental benefit is a major plus.Trish Mills

Because the pens come in such a handy box and are refillable, we have found that they more readily stay in the classroom or with the teacher. In the past we have spent a huge amount from our budget for whiteboard markers that get left in lab coats or are sitting at the bottom of drawers or rubbish bins. The staff appreciate having their own set and the colours are bright and appropriate for the board work that gets done in Science subject.Sue Beckman

I'm extremely impressed with the Auspen's and wouldn't use anything else now - but I thought if I could get a replacement filter I would since I was ordering some new pens, unfortunately they don't come with a GPS home device to find them when you lose them :)Amy Lusher

I have been teaching Humanities in the state secondary system for 35 years. Most of that time I worked with chalk and blackboards...messy but effective.With the introduction of whiteboards came the hassle of keeping a workable stock of markers. I was allergic to the fumes of many brands and I found they ran out of ink so quickly.
3 years ago our head of department provided us with a basic set of Auspens. At last a reliable and effective writing tool. My students loved the clear and defined boardwork.
I now have an Auspen box set of all colours with replacement inks. No more misplaced markers and limited colour choice.
This is the best thing that has happened to my day to day classroom delivery. I recommend this product to any person who needs to use whiteboard markers. They are just brilliant, great value for money, and arrived on my doorstep within 24 hours of online ordering.

Teachers love the idea of a portable unit with markers they can refill instead of throw away. These markers have a beneficial impact on the budget in that great savings are made during the school year. Auspen markers are easy to refill, save money and create less of an environmental “footprint” than do regular markers, which may only last a month, or so.Michelle Clark

AusPen for the past two days with no ill affects. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I have been a long-time environmentalist, but somehow it never occurred to me to question the impact of the white board markers I use (and toss out) all year long. I saw AusPens mentioned in an environmental magazine and ordered my AusPen Kit within a week. I loved them! Next year, AusPens will be the ONLY markers I use.They are low-odor and erase like a dream. They have vibrant colors. The markers actively teach children about reusing resources. My third grade students love to gather around and watch as I refill the markers. I even have a student who offers to refill them any time the color seems to be running out. In addition to being environmentally friendly, they are also budget-conscious! What more could you want in a marker?

They all rave about them and make the rest of us with our "normal" textas feel left out and inferior!!!

Business Manager, Penola Catholic College, Melbourne
We have found these pens excellent, they are very easy to refill and they have saved the College hundreds of dollars by being able to refill these pens instead of throwing them away when empty. With a College of 1,500 students we use a lot of whiteboard markers!!! These pens are much better for the environment, as by refilling we send fewer pens to landfill. Penola Catholic College chose these pens for the savings, the environmental issues and because the people at AusPen are very easy to deal with and look after our needs.Rosemary Scarlett

SOSE Faculty Convener, Karingal Park Secondary College, Melbourne
As a Convenor, working within a tight budget, the AusPens have worked out to be more economical than disposable markers. Staff have refilled their pens still using the original bottles of ink bought in July. The writing nib has remained in good condition throughout the months, converting the sceptics! As promoters of good environmental strategies, these pens provide an excellent example of an initiative that has a huge impact. Students are impressed that not everything in our society needs to be produced on a “throw away” basis and has provoked discussion about other items which could be produced to provide a better level of efficiency. The service provided from AusPen has always been very professional, courteous and prompt.Jenny Abreu

The colours of green and orange show up just as well as the other colours and they help to brighten up any set of notes. The plastic carry case ensures that the pens are kept together and it also makes them very easy to transport. The refilling of the pen is a simple process and takes very little time. They appear to last longer than other pens before a refill is needed. The days of throwing out pens after every few weeks are gone. This is a cost effective and economical way of using whiteboard pens.Mr Kevin McMenamin
Head of Mathematics, The Peninsula School, Melbourne.
