I bought some white pigment ink and made a card and the next day I touched it and it smudged.Why does this happen?

Pigment Ink does not dry on slick surfaces. It takes longer to dry on paper, making it great for heat embossing with clear EP though.

Sorry, I should've got to you sooner. I poured tea on it and then rubbed it on dried ink and it didn't run. This experiment was interesting for me as well. Thank you very much for your question.mike

mine didn't smudge, however I didn't touch them immediately after printing.

I believe the ink is only permanent on porous surfaces (paper, fabric, etcetera.) and it may need to be heat set in some cases. If it wiped off of the clear stamp it is because the stamp is acrylic and non porous.

That's a bit difficult to answer without knowing exacting what kind of stock it is. If it is a cotton or linen stock, it really shouldn't, but if it is a heavier card like stock with a bit of a shine to it or a very smooth finish, that could be the problem. That said, I don't get the best results printing on good stock either. It doesn't smudge, but after about 30-40 envelopes, I end up with a vertical line on every envelope. My best guess is that it is the printer itself.

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.

Hi. I printed an email and dripped water on it, and the ink held up pretty good; however, it did smear when I rubbed my finger over it, but the letters were still there. I hope this review was helpful.

ink jet seems to rub off when wet. Are you talking about the index card papers?

There should be a felt like material that is coated with a carbon based powder to help remove smudges and oil from your lenses. From your description of what happened, it sounds like you got a defective one. I don't use the Nikon Lens pen, I only use original Lens Pen brand cleaning pens. You pay extra for the Nikon brand name printed on the side, but the Original lens pen is exactly the same and cheaper to boot.

I think that if it is something you printed out on your own printer there might be a problem since printer ink is water soluble. If it is ordinary printed material I don't see any problem other than soaking the paper might wrinkle it.

I have an inkjet and they haven't smudged yet. I'm sure they would if they got wet...but just standard use I've had no issues with smudging.

I have found that when using this ink on paper for stamping it is waterproof. Meaning that once it is dry, if you add other paints on top of it, it doesn't mix with the new paint.

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.

I have the same problem. After it sits for a while the initial strokes are dry. The ink will eventually flow.

The only time this ever happened to me, I changed the tape cartridge. Be sure the paper cartridge is kept in a cool, dry area before you load it... I suspect high humidity may reduce the paper adherence to the ink.

I just tested on mine - I wrote with a Papermate Profile ballpoint pen and tried to smear it immediately after writing. No smear.

as long as the object you're writing on is dry, it would write. if there's any moisture on it, it will become all smearey
