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.

Only a few times. Ink will drag if your card design's bleed area is too large. If ink gets on the tray it will drag ink back on the print head and back on to your pvc card.Wash and dry the tray if you see ink smudges.

I just put some water over a sheet I printed and it did not smear or run.....Hope this helps you, Bruce

I bought the white ink color to use on cards, but I do not think they would stay on plastic.

It is very possible with some papers even if they aren't double sided. Only problem is that the ink may smear and in some cases may not dry, no longer how long you wait for it to do so. I accidentally printed on the wrong side of a paper and the next day it still smeared. Best thing to do is give it a try to test it and also check the other side to make sure it doesn't effect the print, it could show through. Good Luck.

It will remove the crayon mark. You should clean the card again afterwards with a kitchen-safe wipe though.

I write with fountain pens all the time, and the ink from these pens dries as fast as any other fountain pen. If you rub your finger across it right away, it will smudge, but in just a few seconds the ink is dry. Of course with any ink, the nature of the paper or other medium will have s significant influence on how fast the ink drys and how well it will write.

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.

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

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

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

I have the c3180 and had no problems with ink smearing. The transparency paper has one side that feels smooth and the other side is slightly rough. I laud out my designs to dry, just in case but was very rough after that. I used them for a home screen-printing machine.

I tested mine with a sharpie pen and it started to smear. But it was fine with the sharpie marker... If that helps.

They are quite glossy, so you would most likely have smearing with stamp ink. Try a matte version.

It might be that the printhead is dirty. I save that blue alignment/cleaning card at the bottom of the stack of photo paper and run it through again (put it back on the bottom, with the printed side down, and it'll run through when you close the paper compartment cover). I also put it back on the bottom if it's going to be a while before I use the printer again.

The same has happened to me, they tend to dry-out if not used. If you used them, try to verify you have not run out of ink.

I don't think your ink will smear. I used a Sharpie. And I don't really think stains would be a problem. The labels are made of a plastic of some sort. The problem might be that the labels don't shrink neatly, so you may have wrinkles on the surface. You might be able to find a way to get the results you want, though.
