I'm gluing clear gemstones to cardstock with type from my inkjet printer. Will Gem-Tac make the colors run?

No it won't. I love Gem-Tac. It's good for any type of craft, cloth, cardstock, or whatever. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I have been very sick.

Doesn't work so well with cardstock or photopaper. Usually there is a setting that tells the printer the paper is heavier or glossy but I can't find it if there is. When using cardstock, the print comes out spotted and streaked.

Yes. The gems will stick very well with this glue. But when you decide to remove the gems, I suggest using an acetone remover so that the gems along with all glue residue is fully removed.

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.

If you are referring to heat transfers for TShirts etc., or using a subliminal printer, I would say YES. I have used it on transfer paper and it worked very well with great color quality. But I used the ink in the picture which isn't what I got, I didn't get transparent bottles for some unknown reason. I am hoping it's the same ink though as I have used in the past. I hope this helps...

I just used my inkjet printer. The colors come out very vivid. I don't have the silhouette machine. I think you might want it for intricate cutouts but I just scissors or a ruler and a razor knife. You need to be sure your ink is completely dry before handling the labels. I also used either spray or brush on clear oil based polyurethane because I was putting the stickers on tile around the sink in the kitchen. I wanted the tiles to stand up to washing so I used 3 coats and baked each coat on. I did not do the clear coating on other labels I made.

I don't think so... I used a regular ink jet and they came out fine. I didn't touch them right away (5-10 minutes) to be safe. I also did some on a laser jet, those were ready to use just about instantly and didn't smudge at all. I had great luck and no smudging with these lables.

Do you mean ink jet printer? The answer would most likely be "no" because these cards are VERY thick and rigid. Even if you were able to feed them through the printer, the card color would show through or muddy any ink colors except black or another very dark color.

Yes it will provided you use a normal card stock (i.e. business card stock or greeting card stock). Thicker stocks tend to slip or jam. One other caveat - the stock will come out with a slight curve or bend to it, so you have to bend it back into a flat piece of paper. No big deal, just want you to be aware. The machine is rock solid and produces very nice images. (Oh, and don't use glossy stock unless it is specifically formulated for laser printers instead of inkjet printers. The ink won't fuse to glossy stock and will smear right off the paper.) Hope that helps.

Use the default settings for Glitter Card Stock Paper...I believe the default blade is set at 10 and double cut.

Hi - if you use an inkjet then the printing will run as soon as it rains. The laser permanently imprints the image during a heating process in the printer itself. Also, I recommend that you BOLD all your typing as this further ensures that the images will remain for years. If you use the regular print then the images will fade in a couple of years, thus causing you to retype the labels. Please also consider the Avery clear labels (#5630). It took me a long time to be convinced to use the clear ones but they are less obtrusive when you look at all the tags in the winter garden. Also, the sun seems to bake the clear labels onto the markers. These are also laser labels. Hope this is helpful. Faith Hi - if you use an inkjet then the printing will run as soon as it rains.

If they're regular photos printed on photo paper, it will work fine. But they're printed on regular paper with an inkjet or laserjet printer the ink will run unless you spray them with an artist's fixative spray first. This is true for all decoupage glosses in my experience.

NO!!! If you try to use an inkjet all you will end up with is globs of ink. The ink will puddle into gray beads on the disk. I ordered these by mistake. Look for their JVC / Taiyo Yuden (JDMR-SPP-SK16) DVD-R 16X Silver Inkjet Hub Printable Blank DVDR

Should work fine. Google your cartridge numbers to see which hole to put the right color in. And, remember to tape over the holes after you put in the ink to keep them from drying out too quickly. I really love this product. Saves me a small fortune!

Yes, you'll be very pleased! It's very quick and colorless....I have used it with tissue paper and vellum. I would apply only a small dot to adhere the leaves and 'see' if its enough. Less is more!

Can't help with your brands. I Filled my HP carts with about 5 CC for black and each color. It's messy and ink stain your fingers for 3+ days. Use a lot of paper towels. If you overfill, use the syringe to pull some ink back out. Keep the "cap" on each cartridge to try to stop excess flow out the bottom- Ink will wick out if you place the cartridge on ANYTHING.
