I'm happy to answer your questions. 1) When we test our mat prints, we have a variety of pens and markers we use, from new Vis-a-Vis Wet-Erase pens to the no-name brand that came with our laminated office calendar. Marks show up very well on the green field mat, the grid pattern on it is a light grey-ish color and does not dominate the texture. Older, fainter pens do not show up as well on the stone tile mat, but a new pen makes a bold, easy to see mark. 2) There is a slightly larger version of this picture on the front page of our <a href="http://www.gf9.com/" target="_blank">website.</a> I’ll see if I can post something a little clearer on Monday when I am back in the office. 3) Honestly, I can’t say what the thickness is in comparison to the Chessex mat, but the material we use is high-quality vinyl for signs and banners. So while the mats are thin, they are very resilient. This material is very durable and with proper care I expect these mats to last a very long time (says the guy who still plays on blank grid mat from 1982). All of our mats are sold in sturdy plastic tubes that are meant to double as a storage and transportation solution; the tubes are far more robust then needed for a single mat. We expected people who bought multiple mats to use one or two of the 2” wide tubes to store many mats, making the thinness a plus! </blockquote>
