Has anyone used these inks on cardboard or smooth wood surfaces?

I have, it works well, dry it with a 1200 watt heat gun, be careful not to singe and or ignite the surface, wait to touch the surface until the area has cooled, do not try to drive or operate machinery while screen printing, ask your doctor if you're healthy enough for fast paced heat-setting

I have used sharpies and no problem so far. Of course, I live in a fairly dry not humid area. I have switched to the water based pens just in case, but the sharpies are still running fine.

Yes. It would require rebrushing on ink pad often though. i use a small sponge to dab on these and then dab the sponge on paper and it works fine for me.

I wouldn't risk the finish. I used them on cardboard boxes. The backing is like that of address labels.

I haven't used them on fabric. I have used them on cups..I was told they would hold up better than the markers. Not so much. Actually, I think the markers hold up better, just not as well as I would like.

Although I have purchased these I have not used them. I have used Sharpie's Fine-tip Permanent markers to outline pictures that I was painting on baby quilts. I have pictures of one I made 25 years ago that was well loved and well washed. More than weekly the first few years. It was recently photographed and I can still see most of the lines in the pictures. I know that they make cloth specific markers but I do trust Sharpie. I know that the ink formulation (25 years ago) did not damage the fabric and stayed on. Hope this helps.

I have not tried it in years, but in the 80s I used to use clear nail polish over some of my printing to keep it. Some inks ran, others did not. Have not tried it with the current inks. Just might try it. Also they put glare free glass over drawings so the light would not fade it so maybe a flat finger nail polish might work better than a high gloss...don't have any idea, just thinking. hope it helps.

Ink seems to be water stable when given a few minutes to "dry". Paper wrinkles when it dries though. Transparencies don't hold the ink very well so be careful of the media used. Hi-gloss labels need set-up time before use.

I have an ink jet printer and it was fine. No smudging at all. I was very please with the result.

I use these to write on ice rinks. The players slide over the ink and it does get on their equipment. It has always washed out of the equipment workout a shadow

Yes! I've used them on black chalk paint, black paper and on cardboard. Good luck with your project!

I think you would be better off going with the gloss pens from the same company. They write on plastic, glass wood, etc., are waterproof and will also leave a slight 3D effect on non-porous surfaces (even more so with layering).

I used mine on a black dry erase board and they worked really well and didn't leave any marks. The colours were also crisp and very visible.

Yes! Both of the first two projects that I used this on were painted with acrylics. In case anyone is curious, I used Golden Acrylics - They're awesome! Other things I've coated with this are block printer's ink, Danish oil, charred wood, and just plain wood. The ink was water based, thick, and reluctant to dry, but the Varathane coated it well. If you scorch wood, clean off the loose bits and dust before coating with anything. Danish oil worked well enough, but I had mixed it with acrylic paint to see how it would work as a wood coloring so that may have made it easier to clear coat with this. Of course, plain wood worked wonderful! If you want a nice, sturdy, antique matte finish; apply the coat with a paper towel and rub it on like you would Danish oil. Looks awesome!

I have them on fake wood laminate and no problems. They won't scratch but may wear the finish if repeatedly travelled over the same path.

Yes I use them on steel paint wood and plastic they don't stick to the plastic.

yep! I actually just used these a couple days ago to draw a company logo on a painted wooden lighthouse. they worked amazingly, didn't smear at all.
