Is the ink clear when written on paper? And will the writing show up under a black light that is not on on the pen?

It is not clear and you will be able to see the writing somewhat. However, the pens fall apart, poorly made.

Yes the ink is clear and yes any black light will work. It comes with a light attached to pen. They are pretty cool little pens. Kids love them.

Ink is similar to a yellow highlighter when under black light. I have not tried it with a different light.

The ink was clear and we only used the light that was on the pen. Hope that helps.

Yes, the writing is clear when written on paper. Since the light attached to pen is mini backlight, I am sure it is visible under any black light but don't quote me on it. I have 5 pens left and probably won't use them and it'll go to waste, I could send you two to sample if you are interested.

yes the ink is clear when written on paper. not sure about showing up under another black light as I never tried it. sorry. we used these as party favours and they were a HUGE hit.

I recognize similar behavior in the refills I purchased/use. I say they issue very full amounts of ink initially. I wouldn't call them duds. Frankly I've had to replace these when I not used them for 'n' days and they were more difficult/less fun to write with. Not sure they're duds maybe the norm?

i wrote them on my cellphone once, it works nicely; but the ink is soft and rubbery to the touch. it could be scratched off though.

No, the ink in these pens is transparent. You want something opaque or chalky for fabric.

I think the writing would stay one pretty well. It may depend on the marker you use. The ones I use take elbow-grease and alcohol to come clean, which means the writing is semi-permanent until I rub the daylights out of it.

The pen has a very fine line, and so even though it does show up, it is difficult to read. The purple ink does not show at all on black, because it continually jams.

The desk has a light texture I would not recommend drawing on without a pad/blotter under the paper, as the texture will likely show in the drawing. People still use pens/pencils?! Let me find one real quick and try it... nope, DEFINITELY shows in the writing. Use a desk blotter, there are plenty available on amazon.

I've only had one problem with the ink disappearing - a relative left a check I'd signed on the dashboard of his truck in Texas and the signature disappeared. I don't know if it came back - I wrote him a new check with a different pen.

While I have not tried it on clothes, I put the pen on a piece of white paper and put it under a heat lamp and the ink disappeared. I believe that would be the same effect but I couldn't be sure unless I tried it.The pens are meant to be used on paper, not clothing but I do understand accidents happen and I feel it could maybe be easily repaired in the manner you suggested.

yes you can write on this paper with a pen. i would suggest letting the ink dry for a few minutes before trying to rub it or it will come right off.

It seems that it will depend in what kind of paper you're writing on. I have a "write in the rain" journal around here I haven't tested it on yet, but on normal computer paper, it seems pretty resistant to smearing or blurring once the ink has set.

Mine keeps saying low ink too but keeps printing and i have printed alot of pages. But yeah mines lights on my printer keep lighting up but works so i ignore it

If the paper is thin enough that you can see through it, then you will see the ink, yes. But it doesn't 'leak' through to the other side.

I tried it and it did work. I used a regular black ink pen. You may have to go over it another time to make sure it's dark enough.

the ink is pretty good, dries reasonably quickly on typical copier paper. not quite as fast as you can write, but close. if your paper is slick, then the ink will tend to sit on top of it.

When writing in ball point pen ink, I barely notice there is anything written from the other side of the page. But if writing in gel ink, the words are very slight but noticeable from the other side. This is true for both ways.

Yeah they worked great for me. I didn't get any duds. They write in black ink. You can see the tube of black ink in the middle of the pen that's like any other ball point pen.
