the paper is very thick, ive used it for various art projects, using many different types of ink, paint, pencel, and it has never bled through.

I use a ball point pen that is out of ink...I would think any kind of a stylus that would not cut the paper would work..

I haven't tried spray paint, and I don' know what the consistency would be like (how wet). But because a simple magic marker will soak through, in my opinion, I think spray paint would soak through the paper, too.

Deborah; U can find waterproof ink at ur pen store or online. There is a cartridge u buy and can fill urself. All pens can be used as a dipping pen. Hope this helps.

I currently use water-based markers just to be safe. However, discs I've had for two decades that were written on with a sharpie show and they no sign of deterioration. I'm not saying it's impossible for something in the ink to penetrate the disc's coating and cause damage, but I suspect people are being paranoid, and their disc failures are likely due to something else.

It depends. For delicate things I use hand soap, but for my ink pens I use warm water with a few drops of detergent.

a Sharpie should never come off anything - period. buy a dry erase or take one from work from one of your conf rooms

I use Sheaffer. Any of the inks other writers have suggested are excellent for your pen.

I don't think a standard ink pad would dry, but haven't tested this. The tape has a slightly waxy feel to it. It does accept Sharpie markers so a similar type ink pad may work.

I don't see why not. We used Sharpie markers with cardboard inside so it wouldn't bleed through. Paint would also bleed through.

They do dry out a little bit if left for a day or so, but not as bad as a big Sharpie or other markers. Just wet a little, dab a little, and they're ready to go. I like these pens so much that I actually keep track of them and try to remember to put caps back on because I don't want to have throw any of them away before using it all up. Never ever had a pen like that before! And the price is right! Hope that helps.

Any standard fountain pen ink will do whether it is 'washable' or 'permanent'. As for cartridges, there are examples on the website for their pens. They look like fairly standard 'international' cartridges to me. You can get them at stationary and department stores or office supply stores.

Not well. I think it's a water-based ink. It is kind of splotchy on most plastic - and ....I just tried wetting my finger after it dried for 5 minutes and could easily wipe the ink off the plastic. Then I tried a red and a blue "Sharpie" brand permanent marker - the most common type of permanent felt tip marker pen - and couldn't remove the mark after it dried for a minute. However, the calligraphic pen is permanent on paper - and the pens stay good for years - sometimes even surviving when they are left uncapped for a while. And their chisel points keep a nice shape too. Makes average handwriting - like mine - look fantastic. enjoy, Roger L.

I have the same issue with laminated paper and these pens. I use rite in the rain paper for my job and you can not use the Sharpie pen with that type of paper. If you are constantly writing on laminated paper use a regular ball point pen. These pens are nice on everything but a paper that has an inability for ink to set in quickly.

any fountain pen ink can be use. You can buy a bottle or a cartridge. Bottle an be messy and it takes some practice to fill the cartridge without staining your fingers. Cartridges are easier but ore expensive. I bought a Parker brand ink from Staples and it works fine.

I would say yes because the paper I used this on is glossy, it is NOT porous, therefore it doesn't absorb the ink, it only stains it. Maybe try a small spot and be sure it dries. Good luck!

I did once accidentally run them through my inkjet, and the ink smeared badly. Only use them in a laser.However, you can mark on them with a Sharpie if you are just looking for a weatherproof label and don't have a laser.
