I want to preserve a 70 year old diary that belonged to my grandmother. it is written in pencil &amp; ink. Would this product deteriorate the paper?

I have not used mine yet but sounds like it would be what you needed. It work on plenty of different media or types of paper but hard to say about the paper in the diary without knowing for sure what it is.

I tried it over tape and the print is too faint and smears. The ink needs to be absorbed by a porous surface such as paper, where it works quite well.

Depends on how hard you write on it. If you need it spotless I'll use some vinegar, the vinegar makes it look new again.

I have written on wet paper and have rubbed it with a wet sponge. The ink stayed and wrote well. The paper gave out before the writing did.

as long as the object you're writing on is dry, it would write. if there's any moisture on it, it will become all smearey

It is fairly erasable. It's paper on the inside. If you have a lot of very dark pencil writing though you may not be able to get rid of all the pencil marks enough to not see any signs of the erased lines.

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.

Yes, it's permanent ink. Be careful, and check the paper you are using as much paper made today won't work with liquid inks, and you can end up with a blur rather than a word. If you use good paper, what you write won't wash out, but the excess will fade if it gets wet (as is true with most all ink). More depends upon the paper than the ink. I do like this ink quite a bit, and just pulled out some note books (details of some environmental studies) I wrote in grad school about 40 years ago, and they are still crisp and clear if that helps you at all.

I would think so. Although, if they are really old and fragile I would just use a flat bed scanner, it won't be quite as speedy, but they will ensure that no damage is done to your photographs. Not saying that Doxie damages any documents, but I would err on the side of caution.I use this scanner for old college notes and any ol' document, but for pictures, drawings and photographs I use my canon flatbed scanner.

I would think so, the ink is meant to resist higher temperatures, I don't see how that would keep it from fading over time though.

Hi Matt...the pens are for my Grandaughters...they write on computer paper with them. Any other paper I would not know about

Best answer is "likely, but will depend". Here's my experience and why: writes ok on a sheet of copy paper on which I've run water, then wiped excess water off with my hand... if you use course spiral-bound paper it will likely write but might also tear the dampened coarse fibers; writes fine on widely used "Rite-In-The-Rain" all-weather journal paper (by J.L. Darling, Corp., Item 1735, ISBN:978-1-60134-050-4; www.RiteintheRain.com), but there may be other very 'waxy' treated rainproof paper that will cause any pen to skip.

No. Not unless you are into bookbinding. You could conceivably remove the pages and glue in new ones, but it would not be easy (or worth it). This journal is the same sort of idea as the Paperblanks journals that are made to look "old," though everyone knows they're not: http://www.amazon.com/Paperblanks-Foiled-Leather-Wraps-Series/dp/1551563401/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_6 . Just like those journals, the pages do not come out.

Depends on the paper. If it is thick it will probably be ok but it will be absorbed into the paper. The pencils dont matter just the paper

Sorry. Can't answer your questions. I use it for brochures that I produce in real estate so there is not a long shelf life required. I use an ink jet printer and print in color. I've been buying this paper for years and it works nicely for my purposes.

hello, personally I don't use the printer for archival purposes. I just use it for every day printing which is soon thrown away sorry I can't help more
