Using inkjet printer ink, does the ink fade if it's wet? I want to make baby books and would hate to have baby slobber the words off.

What a neat use for the fabric sheets! We really didn't know, so we applied two tests. First we spit on it, imitating a baby as best we could. It didn't run. We then held it under running water for a minute or so and rubbed it vigorously. Again, it didn't run. However, the label we tested was printed a couple weeks ago, so the inkjet ink had plenty of time to dry. We think you'd be safe in printing the baby books -- good luck!

Not sure how precisely you are intending the word "ink." I use this paper only in a laser printer and don't have problems with it. Not sure how it would work in an inkjet printer. It is not, however, as smoothly finished as is paper marketed as "laser paper."

This printer does not use liquid ink, but rather a solid coating on a plastic film carrier. There's nothing to dry out, so your supplies should be good for quite a long time.

It's water based not oil based so yes it does fade out over time depend on what material you write on. Paper absorbs liquid so you do not need to worry about paper. But if you write on plastic or shell type of item or gloss paper (photo) then yes it will fade and possibly disappear.

I have been using ink for over 2 years with no problems. I refill when copy starts fading. I have a HP officejet 5510.

Probably a good question for Sophia Global. However, I have some unopened waiting to use, and the ink is still quite 'fluid'. Hope this helps.

I agree. The Blick Waterbased Printmaking Ink works best. However you can also add an acrylic extender into the Tempera and it works good too.

I imagine it lasts for a long time if it's sealed, but if opened then it will slowly evaporate and gum up if not used. Try a damp paper towel-wipe the ink cartridge on it then put back in machine, it works at my office.

Absolutely not, once it's dry. It is fountain pen ink, so it washes off the pen mechanism with water, but it has a chemical reaction with the cellulose in paper that makes it very permanent after it drys.

I can't comment on HP inks or their refill inks. I use Epson printers exclusively. The after-market brands of inks work great. I don't get any fading or smudging. This is probably because Epson inks and their after-market copy cats stain the fabrics.I have washed & dried shirts, violating all the recommendations, and they hold up extremely well. I use the transfer papers to make shirts, caps, tote bags, etc. commercially and I am well satisfied.I buy my after-market Epson inks from Amazon sellers. Some of them are less than $1 per cartridge. Well worth the investment in an Epson printer if you do a lot of printing like I do. I can't comment on HP inks or their refill inks. I use Epson printers exclusively.

Yes the INK works Great & actually better because it allows you to use all the ink to the end. It may not tell you when it's almost empty but I would rather use all the Ink then be warned & have it effect my printing & cutting my ink short. :-)

Yes, it's permanent ink. Be careful, and check the paper you are using as much paper made today won't work with liquid inks, and you can end up with a blur rather than a word. If you use good paper, what you write won't wash out, but the excess will fade if it gets wet (as is true with most all ink). More depends upon the paper than the ink. I do like this ink quite a bit, and just pulled out some note books (details of some environmental studies) I wrote in grad school about 40 years ago, and they are still crisp and clear if that helps you at all.

getting wet doesnt make the ink comes off, even moving with pressure with your fingers. Now if you use your nail or another hard thing to scracht it doesnt come off neither (dry) but it easily does if it's wet

No, the ink runs & the paper is kind of yellow. Try waterproof inkjet labels instead.

The ink does appear to be water-based (so it will wash out of clothes). So assuming you were able to get it to dry, you could probably get it to wipe off if you got it wet again. However, it seems like it'd just be a big smeary mess both while playing and cleaning up afterwards. We've had the best success on sturdy craft paper.

Yes the ink does stick well, I have an inkjet printer which does automatic double sided printing, what I found though was that it was best to let the ink dry for a few seconds on the first side before printing on the opposite side.

I tried one on a ziplock bag and then let it dry, and yes the ink stayed. However if you are talking about a hard piece of plastic I am not quite sure that it would dry on that. Hope this helped!
