I would trace my designs with a black micron pen either size 07 or 05. Make sure you are using spirit brand stencil paper, and make sure you align everything in the feed before running the copy. The stencil machine doesn't transferred shaving very well and only transfers the Lions crisply if you are working from a good picture

Yes choose dark setting also make sure your drawing is dark the darker the image the more carbon will transfer

I would describe the line color as light gray. In my opinion the rules are just dark enough to clearly delineate the lines and are not distracting.

Yes the ink is clear and yes any black light will work. It comes with a light attached to pen. They are pretty cool little pens. Kids love them.

I used it for a presentation pallet for jewelry but it is opaque. I think it will help darken the from. I don't know that I would use black though. Why not try a deep dark brown canvas ? I think velvet would be odd for a shad lining.

I used shrinky dink material, I didn't have to lighten it came out perfect. I did a butterfly ( Monarch with yellow and black ). If you have a printer / copier, you could print it then copy it lighter or darker, then use that for your master. Hope this helps. Its a great product.

It is very faint and hard to see. What we've done is take a magic marker and draw a line across the opaque stripe on the front and back. It makes filling pretty easy.

I have had great success cutting very detailed stencils on Yupo. It is a 100% Polypropylene 104 lb sheet that watercolor artist use. You can buy it in an 9x12 pad. I use the translucent.

Mine has those lines, but they are short and faint. I believe it is part of the molding process.

I used a dark color sharpie to draw a line on 1 of my back pages, and it did not leak through. I could see the line from the other side, but it would not hinder you writing something else on the other side. My suggestion would be to use lighter colors then you wouldn't see it on the other side at all. I like colors too, but I use a pencil to write in my calendar, so I can easily make changes where needed. Then I use highlighters to color code, and I have not had any problems with it leaking through. In fact, I have a friend who liked mine so much that she ordered a July 2014 - June 2015, and I had her order me one too.

Carol, just a quick note. Even though they do smear if you're not careful on smooth paper, I LOVE my pens. I'm on my second set. Just give them a minute or so to dry and cover your wrk and you'll love them and the way they look. Especially on dark paper, the silver and golds are great.

You can use a black sharpie and color in the area that the light shows thru. I don't even really notice it on mine tho

Do you mean etching cream? I use the Silhouette brand etching cream. You can buy that here on Amazon and I believe you can use other brands of etching cream, as well. You apply the stencil to the glass using transfer material, then you apply the etching cream for a specified amount of time.

I use a clear gesso or a matte medium over them. Because they activate with water, you want to swipe your brush or roller quickly over them so they won't spread to areas you don't want color. You could also use a spray fixative or spray--but again, you have to be careful not to get them too wet so spray lightly. If you don't do one or the other, and you try to use ink pens of any type on them, you will ruin your ink pens. Hope this helps.

I have no idea other than to make sure that your print settings are set for the "best" quality. The default is "normal". Also be sure that the paper setting is the same as what you are using.
