I want to use these in a wedding guestbook (photo album). Is the ink fast drying?

The ink dries fairly quick. To be safe, I usually wait a minute, just to make sure its completely dry. It all depends on what you're using them on though. Hope this helps!!

If they are not unsealed they will last probably forever but after they are in the printer I am sure they tend to dry out as any liquid does when exposed to the air. So far my ink has lasted an average length of time and I am in the dry air of Tucson, AZ. Probably depends on your location to determine the speed of drying time.

I don't know for sure, however as long as they are kept in a cool dry place and the seals are still in place, I don't see them drying up. Once installed, they need to be used, if you remove them, you must reseal them. But watch out for your ink jets getting clogged not having any ink to keep them wet.

Yes. There is a whole bunch of nice options there, crop, decorate. We printed pics right at our wedding and they came out great. The only set back is the ink doesn't last long, so I would stock up on that.

The same has happened to me, they tend to dry-out if not used. If you used them, try to verify you have not run out of ink.

Yes, they're large and refill easily--Just remember to keep the little plastic things you put on the bottom on them for the next refill--- Also, make sure you let the ink saturate the sponge, or it doesn't work too well-

I wouldn't, they do not dry soft. But are amazingly strong, durable and dry fast for wet application. They have saved me sooooo many papertowels.

They shouldn't. If you're planning to print out the tattoos before your travels, just let each page dry for a minute after its been printed.

I haven't gotten the paper too damp, but it doesn't bleed any more. The ink should be permanent on most paper unless you are using on something glossy, then it has that wonderful smear affect that gel ink does.

I don't think so... I used a regular ink jet and they came out fine. I didn't touch them right away (5-10 minutes) to be safe. I also did some on a laser jet, those were ready to use just about instantly and didn't smudge at all. I had great luck and no smudging with these lables.

They only smear if you touch them immediately after writing. By the time you write another line they usually have dried. I've never experienced them glob up, probably my favorite ink formula.

Yes, but you should buy an extra set of inks to be prepared when the supplied set runs dry.

I love these pens!!! It does thought take about 10-20 seconds to dry.... I love them but if u r planning to write with them and ur left handed I wouldn't suggest unless u want a colorful hand!!

you uses these like a watercolor pencil, so if u want them to dry quicker in the sense you are using it like a watercolor then yes. Do not use it on the pencil itself u will melt it.

Very. There is a constant flow of ink. I used them throughout college and never experienced issues. They also dry practically instantly. They come in black/blue varieties if you don't want the colors for notes.

Ya, just make sure you let it dry.I takes a long time. I am not a huge fan of dippy pens but I have a set and if youre after a certain line it works. Im drawing "illuminated" letters w this ink. I did a calligraphy wall plaque too.its a hoot.Drives ppl nuts."Why do you have a blank paper on the wall?"

No not at all...they don't seem to dry very fast on gloss and they smudge very easily. Great on paper because they don't bleed though.
