The black ink washes off on the controler if you have a milk lotion on your hands -- has this been fixed?

I have the same issue therefore I have put it inside a sandwich zip lock and taped tightly around it.

I have had one long enough to use all the ink I would keep an eye on the batteries. If your stylus starts feeling warm, take the batteries out and examine them and test them. I had an extra set of batteries in my desk and they separated and left battery residue in my desk. When I contacted the maker they sent me 2 new stylist without any questions. One stylist burned a hole in my shirt. Still, they are the best stylist on the market. I don't know if I answered your question.

I've been using mine for over a year and the print is rubbing off to the point where I can't read it anymore. I mostly wash it by hand although it has been in the dishwasher a few times.

Hello Robert--I have had the stamper for only a couple of months, but so far it is working OK. The ink has been sharp and dark every time. I use it to add my return address to envelopes. The rubber surface with the letters on it sticks in the down position, though. I bang it on the table top to break it free.

No, not that I am aware of. I have not had that problem and I've had the ink for several months.

I checked on the package and cannot locate this information. The only sort of info it gives it to wash hands and fabric with soap and water if ink spills.

Yes!! After about a year of use. I've tried scrubbing it clean, but it still has black discoloration. Any ideas about how to resolve this?

I have not had an issue with that. When I pull them out to vacuum the floor, the imprint from the nibs just go away.

I haven't had that problem. Did you get the oil based? ...and make sure you pressed long enough the first time so the black comes out thick enough? I also use an alcohol wipe on my glass before marking, and sometimes do have to press down from time to time for the black to be thicker.

I have not experienced any label problems. If you make sure you do not overfill the wash basin, and set the end rollers at the right distance, the label will not get wet as long as you withdraw the record right after the wash procedure and dry it. If you have concerns about the label washing off due to the type of ink used, I would test a small area with no text with a damp sponge. No ink should come off and it should not fade. If it fades or washes off I'm not sure I would wash it other than by hand. I have not run into any labels on 331/3 LPs that wash off or streak, same for 45s. I have not washed any 78s. I guess I have washed about 250 or more records with the Spin Clean and find it indispensable when buying used records and going back through my personal collection. I even wash records that don't show any signs of dust. The Spin Clean get down deep in the grooves.

getting wet doesnt make the ink comes off, even moving with pressure with your fingers. Now if you use your nail or another hard thing to scracht it doesnt come off neither (dry) but it easily does if it's wet

Just had the same problem about 3 or 4 months ago. I went through all manual instructions and web suggestions. Clean head, run goofy printer maintenance etc. Just barely prints black and no color. Would be nice if their software would just fix their stinking printer. Was speaking to my ink guy (he has become rich off my Canon ink needs) and he said he would try to fix for free. Yes, scared me also. I am taking next week and if he can I will try to determine what he did and let you know. Otherwise it is just a rotten Canon printer. Almost makes you think they have a program that checks the date and when a certain date .... Maybe I am getting paranoid.. but after using a PIXMA that can happen.

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.

That is a good question. So I stamped a few on some fabric & rubbed it in. Then waited a min & rinsed it off in lukewarm water. It came out right away. I also stamped them on my hand. The ink washes right off. Hope this helps. My granddaughter, who is 4, loves them.

I wash the syringe out in the kitchen sink (or bathroom face basin for that matter). It does not stain. The needle is extra long maybe to pull up ink from the bottle. I have some smaller bottles that I throw it into anyway. In any event, the length of the needle helps. I use chlorine bleach to clean my hands... I use battery water (distilled water) to clean the cartridge (print head or sides but I don't put the battery water on the copper part...) There is also a cleaner that came with a previous set of ink I had ordered. You can order some on Amazon... It's a bit expensive for me to order it from the US to where I live (Trinidad, West Indies)...

My grandchild scribbled on the inside arm and seat of this chair and I haven't found anything as of yet to remove ink marks. I hear hairspray will do it but I didn't have any in the house. I have been using a spray foam car upholstery cleaner on the chair because I noticed if you wear blue jeans the dye will leave a light blue tint on the chair. So be careful. Let me know if the hairspray works for you.

Yes, if I don't wash it every time I finish using it, it gets black marks, not sure if it's mold but I had to scrub it off or its disgusting. In addition, the cap leaks every time I squeeze it. The old model is so much better. The new one really sucks.
