Is the ink of Staedler pigment liner alcohol proof? I'm entomologist and I want to use them to write labels which later will go into pure ethanol.

I have no idea. I don't use alcohol in my art. You might try emailing the company at www.staedtler.com to find the answer. Good luck.

Tested myself using everclear (95% ethenol), the ink falls right off the paper. A side note permanent marker was no better, maybe even a little worse.

Sorry, but I don't know if Staedler pigment liner is alcohol proof. I bought this as a gift for my nephew. Probably a permanent marker might be more doable.

As far as design work goes, they're alcohol proof. Using rubbing alcohol on paper hasn't ever removed the ink for me but I'm not sure they're so indelible that they'll hold up in pure ethanol for an extended period of time. Maybe buy a single one from an art supply store and test it?

I do not know how lamination holds up to ethanol, but perhaps you could use the Staedtler "permanent special" which will adhere to many difficult to write on surfaces including lamination products -- and then laminate a second sheet over your original label. That way the ink will be sealed. Seems as though you will need to experiment.

Can't say it is however i don't know of any ink thats water resistant. Depends on where you use it and the application , you did'nt say

I have used sharpies and no problem so far. Of course, I live in a fairly dry not humid area. I have switched to the water based pens just in case, but the sharpies are still running fine.

really depends upon the ink you're using-dye vs pigmented and in combination with the paper. I would hesitate to assume that your water-based sealant would work, try it on a different print-with your inks and see what the results are. The ink in my printer is dye based and is a little more unstable than the pigment based and would bleed. The paper does a great job, but I probably look to find a different sealant-not water based. might work

I don't think so.. the ink is not runny. It's comparable to a firm felt tip marker.

With the older ink formulas, a bit of alcohol rubbed on the pad and letting it sit awhile helped some. With the newer, washable inks - not sure. Myself, if a bit of alcohol or water didn't liven the ink up some, I would look into buying a bottle of the roll-on inkers if they still manufacture them. They look like one of those roll-on deodorant bottles but have ink pad ink in them. If none of the above are helpful, toss it and buy another one.

I can not testify if the ink is sterile; tho each bottle has a lot #, Date of MFG, & Best By date. One could only assume that the control factor of this product is very high. I myself have never had an issue using this ink with any customers, some insist on it!.

I get the frustration of putting time and effort on something only to have it be ruined.When I bought the pigma microns I thought they would work with alcohol markers like copics but they would bleed no matter how long I let them dry and ruin my drawings. Pigma microns weren't made for alcohol based markers at all,while the multiliners were specifically made for copic markers which are alcohol based. If you want a set of pens that wont bleed like pigma microns then get these. they work fine with copics or other alcohol markers.

Fake! Go on true website for the ink and look at legit size and color of bottle and comes in white box not shrink wrapped. Labels are put on correctly not half a$$ crooked. And when did the ink test it dryed powdery not the correct way and when took to local tattoo parlors they said deff fake would not apply to human flesh!

I have used mod podge spray sealer on printer paper and laserjet printing with no problems. Just make sure your ink is completely dry before sealing!

I am not sure. They come out of the package pretty wet with alcohol. I guess it would depend on the type of ink.

The short answer is yes, most Noodlers inks are archival in quality. Heart of Darkness is a very good ink; deep color, easy flow, and very permanent. Some of Noodlers inks are forger resistant beyond the standards other companies claim; resisting many solvents and bleach. To determine for sure if Heart of Darkness is one of those you would need to visit http://noodlersink.com . I think this is one of the bulletproof inks they sell. My kids and I both enjoy this ink immensely for writing and art.

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.

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.

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).

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. Not well. I think it's a water-based ink.

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