I haven't tried these for mugs. I have tried regular Sharpie and it did not work; it washed off in the dishwasher. I bought these to use on the desks in my classroom, to write the kids' names on them.

Yes, but temporarily. Repeated washing (especially scrubbing) has the ink/paint wear off.

Yes they do! Bake them in the oven at 350 for 30 mins! Mine have been good so far for over 3 months :)

hey Tracey, I bought the oil based sharpies and have been fairly pleased with them. especially on mugs. I also painted on wine glasses and was fairly pleased with results

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 not water-based ink, if you want to mix them with water it won't work....But it is perfectly possible to use a paintbrush or the finger in order to hive them a form, a shape, and will not smear, don't worry!

I only use these for mugs!! I think that if you put the hats every other hook it would 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.

They would work best with sharpies, pens or crayons. They are not very good for use in a lazer printer. Too much curl and recurl so it wont feed correctly.

no they don't bleed like other sharpies because the ink is different ... it's like those markers where u have to push to get the ink to make the tip wet and then write ... i would buy a few packs if you are going to use it for something like that though ... they work great, but one of mine didn't work at all out of the 3

The best answer is no, because they are too fine of a point to show up well on black. Your best bet would be pastel pens with a bolder point.

For me they didn't even show up on a black dry erase board. If u want something for the fridge maybe try the new crayola crayons for dry erase boards those probably well work on metal

They are like small paint brushes, not really like markers at all. the squeeze out paints. the grey one is more of a marker but also not a super fine point. so... no. not unless you want to use them to mix small amounts of paint on a tray for the back of a clear part or for fingers.

I'll keep my eye open and let you all know. I tried using different crayola markers from color explosion and they don't work very well. So if you have those try it out until you get the refills. Has anyone out there tried other markers or know where to purchase the refills.....

They are supposed to only be used to write things on porcelain not to paint the entire cup. My daughter used these for a wedding plate for newlyweds. I would say you could write on at least 4 to 5 cups depending on all that you write. I hope this helps.

As in writing with a pen? - yes, I've written on them with a sharpie marker. If you mean as in running them through a printer - I think they *might* be a bit too stiff and/or thick for that - but writing/drawing on them works fine.

It didn't say anything like that on my mugs. I would just rinse them off with warm water and hand dry. DO NOT put them in the dishwasher!!!

No, it's not at all. These work more like a felt-tip pen, or a like a child's Crayola-type coloring marker, except it's food coloring instead of ink. You're probably aware the Crayola-type markers don't work well on black construction paper (if you have kids you're well aware! HAha), and these pens work much the same way in that the ink of the marker won't show up very well on dark-colored fondants. I would suggest using black fondant and yellow fondant and making your jersey that way. I can't think of anything, even painting with food coloring, that would work on black fondant. Hope I helped, even though the answer was probably disappointing! And good luck on those cupcakes! :-) No, it's not at all.

Yes, they'd be perfect for writing on with a Sharpie. They'd also work for writing on with a wet-erase or dry erase marker if you wanted to be able to re-use them.

I think that they don't work for rubber stamps. They have a regular size, not like a sharpie, and there are washable, you need brush like a sharpie for that kind of work
