Do these gel inks stain as bad as, or worse than, regular ink? (clothing, furniture, carpeting...) Thanks!

Haven't noticed any staining. I normally keep the pen retracted when it is not being used.

Yes, they will weep out into a porous or absorbent fabric, vs. a ball point, which has to spin to dispense ink.

I've used mine for note-taking for over a year, and I haven't noticed any fading in the ink. It's not as vibrant as when it initially goes onto the page, but that's because it dries. I've used mine on copy paper and in notebooks. I love them, and actually just bought a new set for summer school.

They are white inkjet and they do not hold ink well. Any slight bit of moisture or even touching with fingers, AFTER drying, and the ink will smudge/bleed or completely wipe off. If you want a professional looking product that doesn't have this issue, use their watershield versions instead. They are comparable to the Primera Tuffcoat Extreme discs, but cheaper. I don't recommend these specific ones for anything professional (IE: if you are selling CDs in packaging or as a service). If you don't care about being able to rub the ink completely off or getting destroyed from moisture, then they'll work fine and store data/audio like any other CD-R.

I have not had any issues w staining on my hands or anything when using these colors. My only issue is the red and blue lost their color after a few months. They r now brown. I was very disappointed.

Tested myself using everclear (95% ethenol), the ink falls right off the paper. A side note permanent marker was no better, maybe even a little worse.

I don't know....The only thing I know absolutely (based on experience) that takes out ink/toner stains--FROM CLOTHING--is aerosol hairspray ( don't laugh! saturate the stain with the spray...and then launder as usual---works like a charm!)I have had more luck with this brand as a CONDITIONER, more than a cleaner...i've had light marks/scuffs that it removed....but I think that was more a reflection of the good quality of the leather....I had a red leather bag some years ago with a pen mark...used COACH cleaner -- daily, gently, for about 2-weeks and that did work....

Yes i have been using them a while now. The black isnt a deep black. But its black enough. The ink is good for everyday printing. Dont expect photo quality prints. The color is a bit lighter

Yes that is correct BUT the most important thing to know is that if you're going to use the colored ink also, the colors are terrible. They are faded and instead of the colors or black coming out solid its all faded dots that make up the colors that look like water colors (very very pale). Not worth it. Get the correct ink for your printer everything including the black will be much more vibrant and the ink will last 3 times longer. NO GENERICS

I used them to make a "fairy box" for my niece to put stones in from Twig (the fairy at the Renaissance Festival). I painted a wood box a royal blue color (so not super dark but dark enough, it was leftover paint from a bedroom). The Orange, Green, and Pink showed up wonderfully on it, the purple is the only color that is hard to see. So, in answer to your question, and from my experience, yes the light color inks showed up on the darker surface. The darker did not as well. If I could attach a picture I would :)

I have never had a problem with these staining anything. Like most Crayola products, they seem to be true to their Washable claim.

I don't think so... I used a regular ink jet and they came out fine. I didn't touch them right away (5-10 minutes) to be safe. I also did some on a laser jet, those were ready to use just about instantly and didn't smudge at all. I had great luck and no smudging with these lables.

I haven't had any problems with staining. It will leave greasy mark on clothing, but that washes right out without any special treatments needed.

I have never used it on a gel stain but I think it would somewhat darken the stain you have already put on. The wax is pretty dark. If you want to just put a protective wax over it, I would use the natural colored wax. Hope this helps.

I've experienced the staining. Recommend wiping the face of the pads wit mineral spirits before using.

This same company also sells ink refills. They carry pigment ink and dye ink, i have used both and don`t really see a difference.

I am not sure if they stain or not but I will try to test them on a piece of t-shirt that I use as a rag and leave it overnight and wash it in the morning and get back to you. I'll do my very best to remember. seeing you got one yes and one no. But are you aware that these markers are for a dry erase board not paper? Also, I kno that Crayola makes washable markers. I'm sure they have them for sale on Amazon. I'd check those first. Hope that helps.

My GUESS is NO, they are made for Fabric--which will absorbs the ink and colors. That is however, just a guess. My best advise would be to contact Sharpie customer service. I have found them to be helpful regarding other questions in the past. Try www.sharpie.com/enAU/CustomerService/Pages/ContactUs.aspx
