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.

Probably a good question for Sophia Global. However, I have some unopened waiting to use, and the ink is still quite 'fluid'. Hope this helps.

I have found that when using this ink on paper for stamping it is waterproof. Meaning that once it is dry, if you add other paints on top of it, it doesn't mix with the new paint.

If you store it in the upright position, and make sure you have enough ink it should be ok. I've not used mine for a month before and it writes without issues. You might need to remove the ink and run the nib under water to clean it out. Let it dry and try again. I use the ink cartridges and they seem to work well.

I had the same problem, and have not had that problem with any other Culturelle packages doing that. There were also a few where the foil on the back of the card had already been pushed through slightly.

I'm sorry, I clicked yes by accident, but I have never had a problem with smearing. I would guess if it is smearing that there may be excess ink on the rollers. I would try to look up some ways of cleaning the rollers, I hope that helps.

Agree with Wordsmith, your printer must be able to print "full-bleed" - most can't. Check with your printer mfr; also, Avery.com may have a suggestion. I just made a decorative frame/border around my photos and left 1/4" of white card as a mat.

I'm not certain but I think it might smear the ink. This cardstock also has a very strong scent.

With the older ink formulas, a bit of alcohol rubbed on the pad and letting it sit awhile helped some. With the newer, washable inks - not sure. Myself, if a bit of alcohol or water didn't liven the ink up some, I would look into buying a bottle of the roll-on inkers if they still manufacture them. They look like one of those roll-on deodorant bottles but have ink pad ink in them. If none of the above are helpful, toss it and buy another one.

They only smear if you touch them immediately after writing. By the time you write another line they usually have dried. I've never experienced them glob up, probably my favorite ink formula.

I have an inkjet and they haven't smudged yet. I'm sure they would if they got wet...but just standard use I've had no issues with smudging.

Is it possible the card has been magnitized? If not try caned air or alcohol and qtips to clean the connection points on the card and the unit

I've been making mugs, license plates, and plaques with absolutely no problem for several months using this ink. Are you sure you are using the right time, pressure, and temperature? Using too much of any of those will significantly impact the resulting color.

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.

The only time this ever happened to me, I changed the tape cartridge. Be sure the paper cartridge is kept in a cool, dry area before you load it... I suspect high humidity may reduce the paper adherence to the ink.

I just made sure I cleaned the area very well with Windex. I peeled the the paper off, the hand print should stay on the clear paper. Then I placed it on the surface and carefully rolled it down and flattened it with a credit card.

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