How is Stained compare to regular sharpies?
1536151
They compare about the same as a regular sharpie compares to painting with a tube of paint and a brush. These sharpies are really more like a paint pen that allows you to paint with their felt tip instead of a brush. Whereas the regular sharpie is more like a die transferred with their tip, these are more like paint. They are more opaque than the pens are when you apply them, especially to fabric. I hope this helps.

Definitely not the same. These are special for fabric but they don't work well on dark colors.

Pretty similar - I think if you printed on high quality paper, the difference would be very small. On regular paper, a color rich picture has that sort of heavy feel of ink on it....but the quality is high in any case.

You should definitely notice a difference after the first use. Not sure how stained "dark" is, but for the price, I think it's worth a try!

I have never had a problem with these staining anything. Like most Crayola products, they seem to be true to their Washable claim.

The pens writer really smoothly and don't bleed through regular paper. The Sharpie ultra fine markers produce bold permanent color with a fine writing tip. They will bleed through standard paper.

My grandkids have used a few different kinds. you can use washable Crayola markers with no problem. they will not bleed through. I think the regular Crayola markers would also be fine.you can also use fine point permanent Sharpie markers with no problem with bleed through.you can use regular permanent Sharpie markers, but there is some bleed through with the darker colors-but if you have something beneath, it should be fine.We have also used some scrapping markers that were fine.

You can use black sharpie and it doesn't bleed, it's a plastic strip. Not really tape....

NOTE: These are not like other Sharpie Pens. On most occasions they will not bleed through. The pens will sometime bleed through normal lined paper/printer paper. I've been using these pens to take notes for a long time and I even draw with it as an alternative to some art pens. (The longer you have them pressed to the paper the more ink comes out. Also, it depends on how hard you press.) If you write slowly... It might be difficult at first, but you eventually could get used to it. These are more for precision artwork/notes. I've used these throughout High School and my teachers have had no problems with it. NOTE: These are not like other Sharpie Pens. On most occasions they will not bleed through.

I believe the higher tannin causes more staining. I agree, this brand stains more but it makes a great cuppa.

I have used Tide Boost Vivid and not the Stain Release type. The vivid gets whites really bright and does not diminish effect on colors. I have used Boost Vivid in all washing temperatures. zoz

I have written on the top of TY CDRs for many years with Sharpies. Never had an issue.Note, this is not on the data side; just the label side.

Try Amodex, its the only cleaner actually recommended by sharpie (www.amodexink.com)

I like the sharpies because they are retractable and they are OK for highlighting and underlining. The sharpie bleed through paper and is darker especially the dark blue and red. However I still like the red as it draws my attention. The Ticonderoga hasn't smudged my printed documents or ever bled through.

I would say semi gloss, closer to a dull finish than a glossy finish. I think ink stamps will be fine just allow drying time. I use a sharpie or ball point pen for marking. For the price this is a good deal. Good luck and please let us know if they work for your application.

Not sure what exactly you mean by 'bright'. They each write the same color color as the finger grip. The only one that doesn't write very dark is the light green, but that goes along with the grip color. These are .5 so the line is thinner. If you are looking for a broader stroke, pick the .7 version. I've purchased all types from .38 to the ones like a sharpie fine point. Also have two color sets of highlighters. These are the best erasing pens I've ever had. I'll upload a writing sample photo. In addition to the color and stroke, you will be able to see how well they erase. All samples said 'testing' before I erased the 'ing'. Not sure what exactly you mean by 'bright'. They each write the same color color as the finger grip.

Hot Pink. Most of the fabric markers are hot pink. The crayola fabric markers are very good with minimal bleeding if you use good fabric. Something like dish towels will bleed without blooter paper.The best bubble gum or lighter pink I have found is Marvey fabric pastels. Be sure not to get the paint version unless you want heavy paint look. Stick with the dyes for fabric saturation. You can get a pastel pack or buy them individually on Amazon. Fine tip is available. Hot pink and lots of other colors in Marvy can be purchased individually.If you have more detailed questions on the USSR of dye markers, I can help. Hot Pink. Most of the fabric markers are hot pink.

The Stardust series is more transparent; the Metallic series has a good solid color. I've tried using both for coloring Zenspirations patterns and the Metallic ones cover up black lines. The Stardust ones add glitter and a touch of color. Neither is ideal for coloring large spaces. Like any other pen, in large areas you'll be able to see some lines in your coloring. I've never had any trouble with the ink flow on mine. They write a lot better than the ones I bought 20 years ago for rubber stamp art.
