Would the ink smear on the backs of photos? I want to use this to date photographs. Thank you!

I think that on most surfaces, including slippery eggshells, it's quite stable after it dries.

I don't know much about stamps and ink, but I pulled out my ink pad to test your question and I am happy to report that the ink did not smudge at all. Even on the glossy paper! I let it sit for a couple of minutes and vigorously smeared the stamp with my fingers. Even though I ended up with ink on my finger, I do not see any on the paper outside of the stamp itself. Good luck!

I'm also seeking more photo sleeves for scanning. I have the iConvert and it also came with only one sleeve which has scratches from scanning old, thicker photos.

I'm not using your Back Ink Cartridge yet, still have Black Ink. There is problem with Ink at this time. Thanks

It doesn't do well with glossy paper/photos. I tried to scan about 50 photos and it would start to skip and make some interesting images. IMHO, you'd want a flatbed scanner for best results.

I used regular resolution, not photo of any type. It seems to work better. This is not glossy photo paper, so the ink adheres differently than it would on photo stock. You won't get that sort of ultra fine resolution. To be fair, I only printed text, but I tried higher resolutions and they actually were worse instead of better. Hope this helps!

I haven't used it for photos or art. I'm sure it can scan photos and art fine, but I'm not sure about the quality.It works amazing for documents, which is what I use it for. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

No it does not date stamp photos. It's a great camera though. I use it for my black and white film photography class.

It works on injet that doesn't have pictures, just text. It smears on my inkjet when I do any type pict. but clear for text.

It seems that it will depend in what kind of paper you're writing on. I have a "write in the rain" journal around here I haven't tested it on yet, but on normal computer paper, it seems pretty resistant to smearing or blurring once the ink has set.

I've bought this product several times now, and only twice has it said low ink but yet continues printing. You have to hold down the reset or start button and then it goes away and you can print again. I only use it for documents because when I used it to print pictures they were lighter than usual and the ink would smear when you touch the face of the photo. This didnt ruin my printer I am still using it today. but it does get annoying pressing the reset button every couple of pages. But I will still use this product. I print many pages doing my family history and I need to save money every where I can. The document dont smear maybe its the photo paper with this ink. But I will still use it.

I have the 8600F and have scanned 14 rolls of 24 exposure film. All but one roll worked fine. One roll some pictures look over-exposed and about half of the jpg's look like negatives. I was able to use Adobe photo elements and do a negative on it and color balance to get it to look near normal. There are still a half dozen or more that the colors are all off if I try this. If anyone has figured out a cause and/or solution, please let me know as well! Thanks.

I have not. I have printed out several photos and not had a problem. It has been almost a year for some of them, and they still look as great as they did when I printed them. I use the best photo paper and print with the highest quality. I do not know why the age of your paper would make a difference though.

Still working on it, haven't got to scanning my negatives yet, but can let you know when I do. So far, scanning is going smoothly. Occasionally, the machine resets itself, but considering I have tons of pics, I am not surprised.

Yes. I use them for family antique photos. I place the photo in the sleeve and usehindge tape to place them in scrap books. Many of the old photos have writing on the back and this way people can flip them over and see the writing without actully toucking the photos.

It will smear with laser printers if you don't let it dry. Using with inkjet printers would probably be a giant mess.

Good Question! I just checked the box I received a couple days ago and could not find an expiration date. Sorry. I do a lot of work on old photos, so I go through ink fairly quickly.
