What am I missing? I purchased these and wrote on laminated paper, and it smeared. Does it take an extended drying time? I was so disappointed!

We aren't using them on laminated paper; we use it on special card stock that's slightly glossy and have no problems. I use it on al types of calendars and have no problems

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.

Mine works just fine with no problems at all, Is there any possibility that you are using the wrong paper labels? Or maybe it got wet and then dried? Sorry i couldn't help. Good luck.

I would return them. FWIW, you can also soak the tips in fingernail polish remover. But that is usually for old, dried out pens, not new ones. I hope you get your money back or a new set - they are really good when they work.

Good Morning Sue, I peeled the paper back a little at a time so it does not dry out. Maybe a 1/16th of an inch or so. Peeling the paper is difficult. Peeling the paper is the only thing I do no like about the product but it really works to cover up scratches and keeps them covered for a long time if not for good. Thanks,

The ones I used (on envelopes) turned out to be translucent--not clear, so you could see the filmy background. Didn't look as good as I would have liked. you might try one on a glass...if you will have things in the glass, it might work well...

I didn't stamp these, but I did put them through my printer and the ink was fine on them. Give them ample time to dry though - a couple hours or so.

I didn't clean them. I have no idea how you would do that and how they would stick after. I bought the larger sheet and cut them in half to make them last longer. One would last 24hrs. Hoping to see some results soon

My strips are very dry as well and do not seem to be working. I have used whitestrips beforeand they were not dry like these at all. I feel something is definitely wrong with these strips.

Not sure; Suggestion; my email plafib@gmail.com I will send you a sample you can try, I would be doubtfulas backing appears to be paper.Not like wet or dry I am used to working with.

Yep, I still have 100 freshly sealed-packed 'HP Premium Plus' and some opened quantity of 50 (for a total of about 150 or so), fed it to the Artisan 810 and the results were atrocious! The ink does not dry and the pics looked like a bunch of old photographs from 1981 -- sort of yellowish, brownish sepia effect with black dots all over. Then I decided to print on some of the samples that came along with the Epson and the prints were the best I've seen so far, also, the inks dried up instantly. As a matter of fact they looked better than the ones produced by your local Walgreen's or Rite-Aid.

I have written on wet paper and have rubbed it with a wet sponge. The ink stayed and wrote well. The paper gave out before the writing did.

Just tried on plastic jug and No smudge!!! Of course my hands are dry. Try when wet may be not so good. Who the hell knows!

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.

Hi A. Held! The Friendly Swede here:-) Apologies for the late reply, we're cleaning house on questions and noticed we missed yours! I would describe it as soft and pliable, not a firm writing tip. We do have some that are more firm for writing though, I'd be happy to show you some other options. Let me know if I can help you further at this link:

I've put a bunch of varying amounts on a lot of different papers and have found that you need to apply what sometimes feels like a decent amount (especially for heavier papers) to ensure you have enough (too little can be bad if mailing letters etc) so that sometimes the paper will look wet if you're using a lot or a thin/light-weight paper, but every time all papers I've used have dried perfectly smoothly and cleanly.

No, it's like trying to use yellow marker on black paper. I would suggest using something thick, like yellow icing.

You will need to seal the paper with several coats of some sort of sealant such as mod pudge first otherwise this product will soak through and ruin the paper. Hope this helps.
