Can you write on photo paper with these Pens? We have photo thank you and holiday cards and I want a pen that can write without smearing.

You can write on photo paper with these pens..... they dry fast and won't smear!

I think this will smear a little on the back, but I don't really have experience with photos. It really depends on what the texture is on the card. If the card has a more paper texture, it will hold and it will come out pretty nice. But if it is glossy or if there is lamination, it will smear for sure. Sorry for the late response but I hope this helps.

Im answering this for anyone else interested in your question. They DO smear on the back of photos. I was so disappointed in this :/

Yes! They will smear and are not like normal sharpies! No, they will not go through paper (printer paper is the thinnest I have used them on) as long as you keep moving, like a normal "wetter" pen/marker.

Hi, I think they would but I think it would be lighter than say sharpies since these are metallic. Metallic pens in my experience are a bit softer/ translucent and therefore, may be harder to read. Good luck!

Excellent question! It's been many years since I had the pleasure, and if my memory serves me correctly, spirograph allows for any standard tip ball point pen. I believe these pens would fit, however, because the pens are gel ink, I predict the inks would smear. If use with the spirograph is your only interest for purchasing these pens, I highly recommend buying a single or smaller pack and test before investing more dollars. If you find they do work with out smearing I would love to know! I might just have to run out and get me a new spirograph!

happily no these pens do not bleed through the paper. Although to be safe you can use a piece of paper, on the back of the page you're writing on.

I use these for anything I want to save for further use. I have burned some but not many. I save emails and sometimes pictures, I save my Family trees information.etc.Yes you can write on them with Permanent Marker.

I have not had any problems with these smearing or getting globs of ink on the paper. They write very smoothly and nicely over the paper I have not encountered any problems whatsoever with these pens. That has been my personal experience.

A Sharpie pen doesn't write all that well on surfaces like the Sharpie markers, but it's worth a try! I recommend Sakura Pigma Micron pens for wood and an important event memory as your wedding. It is archival ink and doesn't fade in time and writes well! Congratulations and all the best.

phillip hi. did you ever try it with pen or marker? i am interested in applying them to the back of photos and using that as a postcard. thank you!

No, I just wrote something down to test it. I wiped my finger across it and it didn't smear at all. They don't glob up either. They are my absolute favorite pens.

I use them for illustrations. They're my favorite pen. I use them on a Strathmore bond paper, which has a smooth, even surface. The pens never let me down!

Yes. They are also good for applying ink to your stamps. You can write with the smaller end too. Lay down a layer of ink on your image, then go over it to smooth and blend the colors. These are among my favorites. Hope you will like them too.

You can write on them with markers but it will smudge or wipe off unless you use permanent markers.

No. You need a regular felt tip for that purpose. The pens are excellent for writing...and no bleed through.

Never worried about the paper. These pens write so beautifully your penmanship will improve dramatically. Buy them you will not be disappointed. Been using since the 198o's.

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

This is a very open-ended question. The answer depends on what you are trying to accomplish. The pens work great, are smooth, bright and fun to work with. I do a lot of organized doodling (some call it tangling) and for my purposes they work wonderfully. The only negative is they can smear just a bit if you don't give them a second or two to dry. I do wish they came in finer point sizes; but still great. As always, this is only my opinion and the only way to be sure they work for you is try them. There may be smaller groupings at a lower price if that is a concern.
