also, I took a look at the comparison chart on the site and did some research. while whiteyboard is cheaper, how can you prove that it has better technology? I called and asked about ideapaints outdoor applications and they have applied it outdoors and said it performed well.also, any dry erase marker is recommended for ideapaint. they also showed me a test with a sharpie that was removed quite easily. as for free cleaner, ideapaint recommends a damp microfibre cloth for cleaning, no cleaner needed. just a few things i uncovered after making a few calls.
in one of the videos on the site the girl said that whiteypaint was the first clear whiteboard paint on the market...there is actually a company in canada that is called solutionsmb that made the first clear dry erase paint...as for ideapaint being around for 9 years, it has only been available to market since 2008 with a "perfected" product. i havent been able to find any info on any other names they are under.please post any info that you find on this.
sorry for the long post, i overdue my research when looking into new products...
They claim their clear dry erase paint is patented, but I don't see them list the patent number anywhere.
As for IdeaPaint, I agree. They priced themselves high because they were the first mover. Little do peoplele know that they have been around for 9 years and have changed their name multiple times after different iterations.
WhiteyPaint studied everything and our solution is the result of that. We actually have a nice comparisson chart of this page of ourselves vs IdeaPaint here: http://www.whiteyboard.com/order-now-whiteboard/paint.html
