Once the ink is dry, can you write on the front with a sharpie? Like if you want to have a photo signed.

I have never tried that, but I know the ink is perfectly dry after a fairly short time, so I see no reason why you could not write on the photo.

I would certainly not try to write on the paper after such a short time. The 24 hour recommendation is something I would follow. As I said I have never tried to write on a print, and I didn't mean to suggest that you could write on it after a few minutes. Sorry if I misled you - I was thinking of a few hours, rather than a few minutes.

Not well. I think it's a water-based ink. It is kind of splotchy on most plastic - and ....I just tried wetting my finger after it dried for 5 minutes and could easily wipe the ink off the plastic. Then I tried a red and a blue "Sharpie" brand permanent marker - the most common type of permanent felt tip marker pen - and couldn't remove the mark after it dried for a minute. However, the calligraphic pen is permanent on paper - and the pens stay good for years - sometimes even surviving when they are left uncapped for a while. And their chisel points keep a nice shape too. Makes average handwriting - like mine - look fantastic. enjoy, Roger L.

Depending on what surface you write on with sharpie it can be rubbed off over time, so it would have to be reapplied after a few washes. Short of engraving, however, it holds 'permanent' the longest of any medium (or brand) I have found.

I currently use water-based markers just to be safe. However, discs I've had for two decades that were written on with a sharpie show and they no sign of deterioration. I'm not saying it's impossible for something in the ink to penetrate the disc's coating and cause damage, but I suspect people are being paranoid, and their disc failures are likely due to something else.

Several years ago I spoke with someone at one of the CDR companies. I asked if I needed to use a special CD marker to write on the CD's. I was told, "No" and that a Sharpie was the way to go and to not let the ink "pool" on the CD.

YES! We had a lot of people write on them. Sharpies worked the best, but you could probably use any kind of pen.

The ink will not dry up. It is manufactured so that it will not evaporate. A small amount of ink is used up each time you stamp an impression. When the ink gets low or is empty you can re-ink the little pad inside or you can purchase a new pad full of ink.

Hi Mara, Yes you can write on Avery labels with ballpoint pen and ink without smudging. (ink such as "Unipen waterproof ink pen") regards Alex

I guess you can write, the issue I had with this marker was that it was impossible to erase what I wrote, I had to paint over it... Not so convenient !!!

If you want to print directly on the label, you must have a printer that has that capability. My printer does not... I just write on it with a felt tip.

Yes, with a ball point pen or permanent marker, I was able to. Just make sure the envelope is held tight when you do this. 99% of the time I print my labels and tape them to it, securing the envelope at the same time. Hope this helps.

I don't think a standard ink pad would dry, but haven't tested this. The tape has a slightly waxy feel to it. It does accept Sharpie markers so a similar type ink pad may work.

I used an ultra fine sharpie marker to make a pattern on the stabilizer, then sewed over it and dissolved it with no problems. To be clear, I did not write on the stabilizer while it was on the fabric - but on another solid surface. When I was sure the ink was dry - I placed the stabilizer over the fabric and sewed. Hope this helps.

Hmmm.. that is a good question. Stamps as in ink stamps... probably? just have to be careful and make sure they dry so they don't smudge? I'm sorry, that's prob. not much help. As I don't have them in front of me. I placed personalized stickers on them... and also printed w laser print onto them.? back in August. I donot have any more in front ofme to text out? Goood Luck...

yes,you can use the Sharpie pen to do this (not the ones with a felt-like tip, unless you want to), and it's a big piece of wood. These are available in push button fine point model which would certainly work, if (and here's the big if) everyone has a small size signature, or, it's a small wedding. Either of these pens would work providing the wood is unfinished, and no one tries to correct their writing, as these are both very permanent
