Are these only for thermal printers, or can someone use sharpie markers or paints to hand decorate?

Hi,i only use these for my zebra thermal printer but you can also write on them with a pen or marker if you wish..

You can write on them but they do mark up easy because of being thermal paper. If you happen to drag a fingernail across it then you will get a faint mark. Kind of like receipt paper does. The lables are fairly thick though.

Sure you can. It's just sticker paper. You can use markers, color pencils, whatever you want to use to make a design or picture.

No these are not printer ready or printable. They are white-ish. I can write on them with a pen/marker.

I use 4x6 direct thermal labels, but the printer can take any rolls of thermal media up to 4" wide, so you could load it with thermal receipt paper if you wanted to. There are several links to compatible labels on the printer's product page.

YES! We had a lot of people write on them. Sharpies worked the best, but you could probably use any kind of pen.

I would say no. These are washable acrylic paints. You could paint wood or paper with them but I think if you heat them they would dry, burn, and turn into a powder rather than give you the glossy finish ceramic pieces usually have. I think you should go with a higher quality paint that is specifically made for firing.

Looks like I'm coming late to this party, but sure you can! If it's a sharpie** Did anyone say that already?? LOL I would not use any other kind of marker :D

Yes, you could. I printed on them and then wrote with pen, but they're the same texture as regular labels (kind of like regular paper), so colored pencils would work fine.

We're using a Zebra thermal printer, not Dymo. But they worked for us. Should be ok with any thermal printer that requires 4x6.

They should print what ever language you use. They are not laminate --they use a direct thermal transfer printer -- check out their website

I have never had an issue with using a permanent marker on an inkjet printable surface. If anything, the inkjet printable finish should make markers work better.

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.

Yes it is possible, but its probably not going to be the quality of label that you want for a finished product. The labels are not shaped and are not water-proof. The thermal label is monochrome only and you probably want color for your product.

Not any better than a regular sharpie, the ink is just resistant to higher temperatures is all. Engraving would be your best bet.

I didn't have ink last year, so I used tempera cakes and sponge brushes. It was messy, but we got cool vintage-y colored prints. I also had them do several practice prints on newsprint so they could get the feel of the water to paint ratio needed.

I use them on paper and labels, but have not tried them on anything else. They have been terrific for my needs, but think they might not be too successful on other surfaces. Cheers, Sydney

Not particularly, no. They're mini markers, and they're great for general coloring, but the colors aren't as bold as Sharpies, and these are washable.
