We need to be able to write with a pen on the coated back of the top (white) copy. Is there a special pen? Ballpoint and Sharpie don't work well.

Thanks for your inquiry. You may have better luck with a gel pen, but either way you are breaking the tiny ink capsules on the back of the sheet when you do without giving it contact with the clay on the second sheet, so it wouldn't surprise me if you need to then let the sheet dry for a moment before touching the writing. Please let us know if you have any questions.Best regards,Label Outfitters, Inc.

I have had no problem with a ball point pen. Make sure you have the paper oriented correctly.

I tried several ball points that were just setting on my desk when I opened the email. They all worked. I don't know what brand they are, just inexpensive pens of the type businesses give out for advertising.

yes you can write on top on it, I use it to do my bible study and pay bills and it has really served its purpose. I love it!!

John,For this particular model, the top of the pen needs to be pressed to expose or retract the pen point. Personally, I believe the name of this pen, Cap-O-Matic, is misleading especially when ordering sight unseen, without prior knowledge, and the product description does not specify. Hope this helps you!I have purchased/used numerous Fisher Space pens and they have all been good!

My white writes fine on our chalkboard.Use Dawn Power Dissolver (it's for gunked up pans and such). Works like a charm! I just did my chalk board with it and it's beautiful and easy to write on now! You should be able to get it at any grocery store or Wal-mart.

I know the pen must have the paper, but I don't know if the ink is special or not. When the ink is fresh it's nice. It's when it gets old that it's harder to use. Sorry I can't help you more.

You can use part of the book without the new pen, but you can not use the workbook pages. The new pens work like pencils only on the special paper.

So cheap, I just buy another. Try taking it to an office supply place. They should know, and you can probably try it out in the store. I don't write much with it as I am trying to go "paperless electronic" on note taking.

There isn't too much space on the small white area to write, but I would try a sharpie pen (thinner point) or marker or another pen with a felt tip. I think that may write smoother on the type of paper and leave cleaner, sharper lines. Any pen should work though. Just be sure to let any ink dry so it doesn't smudge!

You could probably write on it with a permanent sharpie marker. The material is plastic (similar to a disposable plastic tablecloth or ziplock bag).

yes you can write on the disc if you use a felt tip marker. do not use a label.

Yes you would be able to write on the outside. It would have to be with a permanent marker tho.

I have written on them with a sharpie just fine. The white side is just a waxy sort of paper designed to be peeled off to reveal the glue underneath. But if you leave the backing on, you can write on it just fine.

I've had trouble with this pen too. I own a couple of them, rollerball and ballpoint. The best way I've found to refill it is to put the spring, over the point, before you insert it into the top of the pen. That is, hold the refill straight up; then put the spring on, then, put the top of the pen over it, hold it together, when turning it over screw the bottom on, then, it should be lined up. Hope that works. Thanks for your reply. Have a nice day.

I used the brand of ink included with the pen and Southworth 24lb parchment paper. I believe that will work. I discovered that some pens like this one acted "weird" on paper that was not completely "smooth". It was almost as if the ink had trouble flowing on paper with microscopic ridges.

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.

Yes, it is not ideal for writing on. Plastic, it's one solid piece, real flat. Just the top is rubbery. I hope that helps. We love ours, it's perfect for my son.

I dont think that people are reading your question correctly- - - -- This paper is NOT like regular carbon type papers. . . ...the image/ drawing/marks that you draw onto the top paper will ONLY be trasfered to the (specially coated), bottom sheet. . . If you lay the top(white) printed sheet onto any other surface & trace the image -- it will NOT transfer!
