Did anybody else have difficulty writing on these bags? Ballpoint/felt pen - both wash out since you're writing on plastic

yep! it was very hard writing on the plastic so I started writing on the "NUK" letters on the front of the back because it wasn't all plastic.

I use a sharpie and I mark the bag prior to pumping. This way it has time to dry. The writing would smudge and fade if I wrote on the bag either right before filling it or after filling it.

Yes I experienced the same thing too with Nuk bags, eventhough I used Sharpie, best permanent marker pen I have ever encountered. This didn't happen with Lansinoh bags, it stayed on perfectly.

I use marker to label the bag. It works well. Just give a few sec to let it dry before storing.

That's only happened if the pen gets put into the washing machine. Otherwise, I've never had issues with them.

What are you trying to write on? They work great on black or white paper. If they won't write on paper, send them back they must be all dried out.

It may work. I have written directly with a pen on these bags and it worked just great. I also noticed in the product reviews it seems like some customers had received lesser quality poly mailers so I would look for lcmailers as the seller if they still have some listed, I got fast service from them and my mailers are pretty high quality.

I have not had that issue. I had a box delivered that all the pens had leaked out. The seller replaced immediately. My recommendation would be to contact seller. They are great pens.

I have with a regular ball point pen and so far have not had any trouble but I would not recommend writing with a gel pen. it takes longer for the "ink" to dry.

There were directions? Sorry, I just put the clothes, or blankets/towels in the bags and used a vacuum to seal them off. The smell wasn't 'musty', but smelled of the plastic chemical. They did wash out with only one washing in the washing machine, but inconvenient to have to wash perfectly clean clothes. And an FYI. I use these while traveling since I have a small car and need the space. I find if the bags are deflated and left in one place, they do better than if you have to move them around. Seems they do not do well with much moving around. Only the slightest micro tear will cause this to be null and void for why you bought it. There were directions?

I have the same issue with laminated paper and these pens. I use rite in the rain paper for my job and you can not use the Sharpie pen with that type of paper. If you are constantly writing on laminated paper use a regular ball point pen. These pens are nice on everything but a paper that has an inability for ink to set in quickly.

Yes. I have used both a Sharpie and regular ballpoint pen. There's not much room, though.

I found that regular sharpies worked better, actually. It seems these markers wore off far more quickly...sadly. I have a few mugs that I did this past summer that still have designs on them. I put my cups through the dishwasher, intentionally, to test the durability. I have to say, regular sharpies work better.

I agree that they are way too light. Now I buy them in colors and put artwork on them. Baseball team logo for trips to a ballgame etc.For normal use I buy Tayo Yuden white inkjet printable CDs and have never had a problem writing with a felt tip pen on them. I have NEVER had one go bad on me. Expensive but worth it.Just my solution, more or less not LightScribe for music CDs.BTW, the LG SATA GH24LS70 burner excels at over-burning CDs (with the right CDs). I bought a 2nd one for stock since I wasn't seeing them around much any more.

I doubt if the ink has dried up. The reason it stops writing, is that the pen barrel is basically sealed inside the utensil and not allowed to vent. Just remove the pen barrel and blow into it. It'll start writing again until another vacuum occurs. Yeah I know it's a pain. I seriously doubted that the manufacturers only put in 1 mm of ink into a 2 1/2" barrel and ink that thick doesn't dry out that easily. I also think the reason that BIC pens have a little hole in its side is to avoid the vacuum problem.

My pen works ok. You may try to dip the nib (not the whole pen) in water for a while and then let it dry. The ink always flows better after that.

Hello, first of all my pens were garbage, none would write. I just threw them out. As far as I could tell the pen nibs were all the same. Hope you have better luck.

They seem to write upside down, at least for a short period of time. I remember that the marketers of the old Fisher Space Pen made a big deal about how that pen could always write upside down. That never seemed very important to me, but I sort of assumed taht other pens, like the Jotter and PaperMate pens, must not be able to do so. But I just tried, and my pen seems to write fine.

No, I just wrote something down to test it. I wiped my finger across it and it didn't smear at all. They don't glob up either. They are my absolute favorite pens.

I have had the same problem. I now use "Smooth-writing Generic Refills for Livescribe Pens. Use this link: (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDY7ARA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc;=1&s;mid=A2H42Z1WF2H2XG)
