If this is a paper tape, will the ink endure yearly abuse from summer sun?

I have two of these. The tape is more vinyl like than paper. The labels hold up well. That being said I am not sure this would be the case outdoors. If it is weather protected I do not see the sun as being a huge issue although it would shorten the life. I have labels in direct sunlight all the time but in a climate controlled area with no issues.

Sorry. I do not have the answer to how these labels will withstand weathering outdoors. I wondered how the adhesive will last along with if the letters fade or wash away.

depending on the paper's thickness, the ink you apply to the paper may chip off if its really thick.

I've used mine for note-taking for over a year, and I haven't noticed any fading in the ink. It's not as vibrant as when it initially goes onto the page, but that's because it dries. I've used mine on copy paper and in notebooks. I love them, and actually just bought a new set for summer school.

I have only used this to make outdoor posters for lost cats, but found that the ink runs... it isn't as 'weatherproof' as touted. Can you use a label maker instead?

I've left my extra film in the box for months at a time before using it and haven't seen any issues with quality. I have even left a pack of film in my car during the summer heat of Florida and the pictures still have come out great!

Just wrap tape around it. I actually use the wrap to prevent sun scald in the summer.

I know it's not paper. It feels like plastic. I use the tape where it gets wet but the ink does not fade or the tape does not come off.

It does write on plastic and dries quickly. It might wear off with repeated use but it doesn't rub off easily. It will scratch off though.

I left some papers on my porch that were written with a Triplus (pink). It did smear and fade. I would definitely NOT call them water-resistant!

No it's about as shiny as regular duct tape, but you won't find a tape that is stickier and can handle the sun and rain . . .

I've found that frequent watering will eventually weaken the adhesive backing, leading to the tape falling off. It's a good, effective product though and will survive light watering and rains. I use it around the bases of my fruit trees, as brown snails are a real pest in Southern California.

I have only used this pen in the traditional orientation (i.e. point down.) I have not used it outdoors in inclement weather. I purchased it because of the great feel during writing and the fact that they advertise its ink is the type that prevents criminal check washing.

I've had mine over a year outside , it holds fine, faded alittle with sun and metal parts rusted but still protect burners.

I am not sure if it is advertised as such, but in my experience it is. For instance, I taped up some targets for shooting, didn't take them down that day, came back a week later and they were still there. Lasting a full week outside in the Florida summer where it's quite hot and rains every single day is pretty solid and better than any other tape I have used.

I've used my P-Touch for over 2 years for binder labels, address label, you name it.No fading or peeling. Labels left in the direct sun will fade in 4-5 days.

No, the ink is not permanent and will not survive washing. Have you considered inking the stamps with a sharpee?
