I tried using sharpie but it smudges. What's the best pen to use? Answer only if you know please.

It is strange that the Sharpie is smearing. Are you using a traditional, alcohol based Sharpie? Are you letting it dry before touching it? Are you trying to apply something over it? You might consider the Sakura Identi-Pen as an alternative. We have had good luck using it on this film.

I use the liquid chalk pens...work really well and swipe off easily with no "dust" leftover. Regular, school-board chalk works too.

Make sure you have the correct pens. I bought extra pens that i thought would work.. and NOPE they didnt. With the pens that came with the box, sometimes i would have to wet them a little and pump and pump hard and then they would work. Good luck. :)

For our purposes, we always write on them. We've used ball-point and sharpies. Both work great! I will say that the one time I used a gel pen and happened to swipe across it immediately after writing on it, it did smear just a bit, but that can be the nature of gen pens. These have been GREAT labels!

I used them on two different occasions one time I used a black permanent sharpie and a silver sharpie too. Hope this helps good luck! DJ

They do not smear on paper or porous surfaces , but do on non-porous surfaces such as plastic, metal, painted wood, etc.If you leave the pen in one place, it will bleed through to the other side, but in normal writing, it won't (on regular paper). If you are using very thin paper (tissue paper, onion skin paper, etc.) it will bleed through, just like any other marker.

Been sketching with Flair tips since 1971. Then they had a small white point guard at the writing tip, but the tip still got wider after usage and pressure. The ones I use today don't have that point guard and seem to be harder and keep a point longer but still get wider and softer after usage and pressure. My first time hearing "Hardhead" associated with Flair pens. Sounds like a selling tag. Just my opinion. Black is the only color I've ever used, about one a month.

I'm using Noodler's Bulletproof Black ink. Writes great, very clear and smooth lines (with the right paper of course, I'm writing in a Piccadilly journal). Any bottled ink/ink cartridges will work. More economical to use bottled ink, and doesn't have to be messy if you're careful.

i have in fact seen that they sometimes will smear. the best way to stop smearing is putting a piece of paper under you hand while drawing and letting only the pen touch the drawing

The ink dries almost immediately, as fast as any other pen I've used. As for the smear, again, about the same as any other pen of similar quality. To me, the writing looks, feels, and responds the same as any other pen-- it's just erasable.

Yes. I have used both a Sharpie and regular ballpoint pen. There's not much room, though.

J. I. Rosemberg!Thanks for your interest in our products. The tips for these pens are very soft and "buoyant". They are hollow, so they are only meant to be swept across the screen, as you would your fingertip or a paintbrush. Hope that helps!If there's anything else, just let me know.

I used magic eraser.... Did a test before completely cleaning, and seems to be okay. I have some slight shadowing left over, but not nearly as bad as just water and a paper towel. Also, I used liquid chalk pens on the paper. Overall, I'm satisfied.

You can use either a printer or a FELT tip pen. Do not use a writing instrument that is sharp. Something like a Sharpie works well as it is a felt tip writing utensil.

I have never experienced smearing with these on typical papers. A glossy paper might have an issue, but as long as you are using a typical paper finish you should be good. These pens are amazing and so vibrant!

I use a sharpie fine point since it does not bleed through the paper. I do not use tabs since it had an index page and it has page numbers. This works for my needs.

I use a regular ball point pen - not the gel type. I let it dry a few minutes.
