Will they mark on plastic without smudging?

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!

Yes, they mark on plastic without smudging, but you have to let them completely dry before touching them.

Yes they will mark on plastic but you will need to give a few seconds to dry before touching and then there will be no smudging!

The Real World answer is "No". Any kind of oils or other substance on fingertips will smear irregardless of the surface. That said, dry clean fingers will leave very minimal marks.

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.

Very slightly glossy but not bad -- I wrote on these with permanent marker, and they only smudged if I touched it immediately.

Yes, I put a few small squirts on a paper towel and wipe it on and then wipe it off with a clean paper towel. I would test it on an inconspicuous place to make sure it doesn't take of any finish. I mainly use it on metal and plastic, and so far it hasn't taken any finishes off.

I don't think so--we use them on two reclaimed wood tables (each a different species of wood, both unstained but treated with orange oil) and have never had an issue. The decorative holder has black felt/foam on the bottom (think those foam-like crafting stickers--very thin and not noticeable), and we have never had marks or anything with the coasters themselves. Perhaps if they sit there with a pool of condensation under/around they might leave a mark--but any coaster would in that condition.

Yes, that's a good feature they have. Both the tag itself and the writing on the tag are removable, so the tags can be used over and over. The bad news in my world is that if I handle the container much, especially with wet hands, the ink smears or wears off. Although actually, maybe I responded too quickly--I haven't really tried these on plastic freezer containers and can't testify about how well they would stick and remove in that context. I've always used them on glass jars, and not on frozen goods.

No, they're not a permanent marker. They are a nice writing type pen. They would smudge.

With permanent marker. Yes. Also put clear tape over because it does smudge off!

I've used them on plastic ..so has my grand daughter who loves to buy those stained glass (plastic) kits and when the paint that comes with it are dried out, she uses my paints. Looks great every time.

They are like markers. They work fine on paper but not glossy paper, they will smear. They did not go through my envelops.

They do not smear on paper or porous surfaces , but do on non-porous surfaces such as plastic, metal, painted wood, etc.If you leave the pen in one place, it will bleed through to the other side, but in normal writing, it won't (on regular paper). If you are using very thin paper (tissue paper, onion skin paper, etc.) it will bleed through, just like any other marker.

My guess is it would leave marks behind. I have yet to use the tape because of that.

I have never used them on plastic but I would THINK they would adhere just fine. it is really a great product in my opinion. Be sure to follow the instructions.

Yes! They will smear and are not like normal sharpies! No, they will not go through paper (printer paper is the thinnest I have used them on) as long as you keep moving, like a normal "wetter" pen/marker.

These are a molded plastic and I don't think conventional paint will adhere. Some of the new Krylon paints for plastic may work

I did once accidentally run them through my inkjet, and the ink smeared badly. Only use them in a laser.However, you can mark on them with a Sharpie if you are just looking for a weatherproof label and don't have a laser.
