Are the inks waterproof? what happens when a printed page gets wet?

Ink seems to be water stable when given a few minutes to "dry". Paper wrinkles when it dries though. Transparencies don't hold the ink very well so be careful of the media used. Hi-gloss labels need set-up time before use.

They shouldn't. If you're planning to print out the tattoos before your travels, just let each page dry for a minute after its been printed.

I used a regular printer and they worked. Just do not allow it to come in contact with water or it will bleed

No, this ink is aqueous ink meaning it is water based ink. It will be water resistant to a small degree but is not waterproof by any means, for that you would need a solvent printer with solvent ink also referred to as "eco-solvent ink". Solvent ink is chemically different and is oil based, it is used mostly in sign/vinyl printing.

The ink dries fairly quick. To be safe, I usually wait a minute, just to make sure its completely dry. It all depends on what you're using them on though. Hope this helps!!

It would make it water resistant- not waterproof. You might want to test it out on something unimportant first, to see if it runs. I also suggest that you spray lightly in several coats, and keep the nozzle of the can at least 12" away from the surface of the test print to prevent drips and runs from the spray pressure. You might also want to give the back of the print two or more coats to help prevent seepage in case it does get wet! That being said, there are photo paper out there that have a coating already on the paper that prevents water damage- last time i saw this photo paper was at Best Buy- you might want to check it out before using the spray. :)

Hi - if you use an inkjet then the printing will run as soon as it rains. The laser permanently imprints the image during a heating process in the printer itself. Also, I recommend that you BOLD all your typing as this further ensures that the images will remain for years. If you use the regular print then the images will fade in a couple of years, thus causing you to retype the labels. Please also consider the Avery clear labels (#5630). It took me a long time to be convinced to use the clear ones but they are less obtrusive when you look at all the tags in the winter garden. Also, the sun seems to bake the clear labels onto the markers. These are also laser labels. Hope this is helpful. Faith Hi - if you use an inkjet then the printing will run as soon as it rains.

nope this is strictly indoor use, not waterproof. There are a few brands out there that they say they are water proof and can be printed on from a home printer. I think caslon makes it.

A quick search says virtually all consumer inkjet printers use water based ink. The expensive non-water inks use solvents like xylene or toluene in order to dissolve certain desired pigments, and they are then water-proof... or perhaps are used for some special purpose like making UV resistant inks. Non-water based inks are odorous and toxic at best or perhaps only flammable (like alcohol).

Ink may puddle if it stays in same position too long, meaning it may clog exit port and not come out or may come out unevenly, ruining the document. It usually is good long after the best buy date,but the compamy takes no responsibility after the date posted.

I think the answer to the question of it being waterproof has a lot to do with the surface upon which you are applying the ink. I applied the ink to a paper envelope and ran it under the faucet for a few seconds as well as ran my finger over the area stamped and the presentation held very well. I have also applied it to plastic and it will smear and come off. Not sure how additional elements (e.g. extended exposure to sunlight, rain, etc.) will affect it.

no because this is an inkjet printer ... no inkjet printer uses waterproof ink. You might want to check into a laser printer for that purpose.

Near a pool for sure, in a pool I am not sure if the ink would run or not. the cards themselves are waterproof

Noodler's inks are engineered for writing on paper. Ingredients in their water resistant, and especially their "Bulletproof", inks chemically bond with ingredients found in most paper. Thus the the mark becomes a permanent part of the paper. The liquid base ((primarily water) of Noodler's inks deposited on materials like glass, metal, or polymer (plastic) surfaces will evaporate leaving the various coloring agents and chemicals (salts) on the surface. However the deposit is not likely to be durable for most of their products. Even dried "Bulletproof" Noodler's inks can be washed off of such surfaces with water.

I have found that when using this ink on paper for stamping it is waterproof. Meaning that once it is dry, if you add other paints on top of it, it doesn't mix with the new paint.

with this product, I would suggest no as the ink can be 'leaky" it's quite moist. it really needs paper in order for it not to bleed. just my thoughts.

I dont think the ink might dry out, but you have a selector to be choosen when you have to move it, you can put the printer in moving mode and the ink will remain full in the entire system. there are an small plastic caps located in the ink tanks when you do the first charge, remain this caps because you will use it when you might move or store your printer in some place, this caps will prevent the oxigen get inside the ink
