If I use it on top of an image printed with inked printer, will it bleed? Or do I need a sealant first?

I have only used it on bought papers. I do have a friend who uses it on images printed on a colour printer and she has had no problems with it.

I wouldn't -- wrong formula. Instead, look at the line of artist's fixatives and sprays made by Krylon. They're designed to do just that -- protect paper artwork and printed material from moisture, yellowing, smudges, etc. Read their descriptions and you'll be able to choose which one sounds like the protection you're looking for.

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. :)

Yes, shouldn't be a problem - I used black ink, but didn't notice any issues with the paper being too slick or anything.

i only used it on inkjet. but the ink spread out on the paper. the pictures i printed looked like big pixelated photos. It was almost like the ink bled a bit. It was all blotchy looking like mosaic tiles. The paper was also very thin and i wouldn't call it cover stock at all. it was almost thinner than regular kodak photos.

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.

You will need to seal the paper with several coats of some sort of sealant such as mod pudge first otherwise this product will soak through and ruin the paper. Hope this helps.

Yes....but you will need to seal your fabric over after the image is printed as it will not hold! I covered mine with a gel medium and that worked, but an ink jet is definitely better!

This product has been discontinued, so I doubt that there would be an adhesive version. I have sheets of transparency film with adhesive that I purchased from an art dealer, but I doubt that it would run through the inkjet printer. As a graphic designer, I would say to spray the back of the film with 3M spray adhesive. Good luck!

Leave it covered, it will be pierced when installed. However, I suggest you not install it in your printer, as it ruined my 4 in 1 printer upon insertion of the first cartridge.

Well you can try, but depending on your printer it may not work. I have tried and it worked but not with consistency. Let me explain. The film is not 100% pliable. You can bend it but at a point it will "snap", so your printer may curve too much for this to last. Also the film specifically for inkjet holds the ink better. Some inks will run right off this. If you want to guarantee you don't ruin your printer or waste a piece, you will need to get the inkjet kind, which of course are more expensive. The ink doesn't dry fast enough so if you print a saturated image it may be a wet mess, and then when you shrink it turns into a blob.

I wouldn't risk using it for clothing. I don't think it is suitable and would be concerned about ink bleed.

Hi! As long as it is a copier that uses the powder toner and not liquid, you should be fine. The liquid only sits on top of the paper and will smear no matter how long you let it sit.

I have not used a printer or ink jet on it. I can tell you I use it for spray painting my stencil art designs on it and sharpie artwork on it and cut it for my own stickers. This is very tough sticky high quality vinyl. It works great for what I use it for. It is slippery to draw on , but works for me.

I have been using this ink with photo glossy paper, also for advertising materials. Glossy

I have learn not to mixed inks. However if the printer has not had any sublimation inks use before, it should be okay. But you should pretty much stay with ant-UV (which really good ink, substitutes are good too, just not as vivid) or stay with the ink your are using. The problem seem to be the mixer with certain colors. With this ink (SO FAR) I haven't had any problems or clogging ~ hope this helps! bless your day!

I haven't gotten the paper too damp, but it doesn't bleed any more. The ink should be permanent on most paper unless you are using on something glossy, then it has that wonderful smear affect that gel ink does.
