Can you draw on the sheets with marker/crayon, or do they specifically have to go through a printer?

you can draw on them with markers.I don't think pens or pencils will work. I never tried those.

The surface is basically printer paper. I just tried pencil, a black gel pen, a ball point pen, sharpie marker, highlighter marker, and crayons on a scrap piece. They all stick just fine and dry quickly. You might even be able to use watercolor paint, but the moisture might make the paper separate from the magnet. Because it's paper, it isn't waterproof, so you may want to use a spray acrylic or something like Mod Podge if your magnets will be exposed to wet or dirty hands.

Yes, these markers are great for drawing, etc., but you you have a thick paper. Or make sure to put something behind the paper you're using. These markers have alot of ink that is drawn out when writing on paper.

You might. I don't have any. They come with markers that stink. I called Crayola and they sent me better markers, but still not the best

Not at all. :) I draw with pastel pencils, then scan the drawings in to my laptop and soften them using paint shop pro. I have the very basic Canon printer and the drawings come out looking like they've been professionally printed. :) When the ink starts to run out I will see faded lines in the prints, like with all inks. Never a problem with one color running out before the others...very pleased.

Yes, you can certainly draw on these. They are pretty much like regular paper, so pens or sharpies will work just fine.

No these are not printer ready or printable. They are white-ish. I can write on them with a pen/marker.

We used these crayons directly on fabric, though you could use transfer paper and then iron your design onto fabric. The problem with that is the "mirror effect" -- any text must be written in reverse so that the transfer makes the correct image onto the fabric.

Both sides have large clips that you can clip paper to. I wouldn't recommend drawing on the magnetic side without paper.

Definitely better than pens! My toddlers use these for coloring and as long as your child can hold it, these would be great. They do make other crayons that sit in a plastic kind of holder for easier grabbing grip and coloring.

I expect you can print on them with a laser printer (my printer is an inkjet). I use them to make wall labels for paintings exhibited in cafes because they peel right off the wall at the end of the show. They don't stick as well to some surfaces with texture but flat surfaces work great.

My grandson draws what he wants to draw on the board and has not used the paper and never think to ask my daughter if they have ever used the paper. I purchased him the pens that can be erased and he does this on the board so I cannot correctly answer your question. It could be you don't need to use the paper unless the child wants to keep the picture they have drawn.

No, they don't. But you can use gel pens, or colored pencil on black paper.

Yes! Sharpie markers that are permanent, alcohol based ink pads for stamps, and colored pencil work. I recommend doing a test first with the brand you have, since the color will be much more rich and concentrated once it shrinks. I push hard and make sure to color in the area completely.

I just tried using a dry erase marker on it. It works, and the ink comes off easily. If you have large piece of metal to attach the sheet to, it would do what you want.

Yes, you could. I printed on them and then wrote with pen, but they're the same texture as regular labels (kind of like regular paper), so colored pencils would work fine.

The pens writer really smoothly and don't bleed through regular paper. The Sharpie ultra fine markers produce bold permanent color with a fine writing tip. They will bleed through standard paper.

No, it's not at all. These work more like a felt-tip pen, or a like a child's Crayola-type coloring marker, except it's food coloring instead of ink. You're probably aware the Crayola-type markers don't work well on black construction paper (if you have kids you're well aware! HAha), and these pens work much the same way in that the ink of the marker won't show up very well on dark-colored fondants. I would suggest using black fondant and yellow fondant and making your jersey that way. I can't think of anything, even painting with food coloring, that would work on black fondant. Hope I helped, even though the answer was probably disappointing! And good luck on those cupcakes! :-) No, it's not at all.
