Hello! I accidently bought inkjet shrinky dink, but I would like to draw on it with sharpies. Would it still work?

You could, being as it's ink. But I would strongly recommend returning it if its not open and buying the regular stuff, being as the inkjet shrinky dinks are twice the price than the regular ones.

I've never tried to write on it but i assume dry erase markers will work great. i wouldn't try Sharpie.

I haven't tried that, but I doubt it would work. You need a faster drying ink.

I have never had a a problem with compatability. Did u remove the tape.? I would try reinstalling. If nothING works contact Speedy Inks.

I don't know for sure, but it seems to operate like other inkjet machines which leads me to believe it may not function without the colored ink. However, the colors don't cost any more then the black so it may not make any difference to your ink expenses.

I'll keep my eye open and let you all know. I tried using different crayola markers from color explosion and they don't work very well. So if you have those try it out until you get the refills. Has anyone out there tried other markers or know where to purchase the refills.....

You most certainly can color on the ink jet plastic before and after it is run through the printer. If you want to color on it before its printed you will need to use a water based marker. Don't do a lot of scrubbing when coloring as it may remove the coating. If you want to finish or color places after it is printed on, (like adding a name) can use a permanent marker on the printed areas, and a water based marker on places that do not have any ink jet ink applied.

Figure you could try it on a scrap, but if it were me, I would use Stazon (hope I'm spelling this right) brand ink pads... that stuff stamps on ANYTHING!

I have used it. Keep in mind, those heat transfer sheets you buy at the craft store are very flimsy and I have not had very good luck regardless of what kind of ink you use. FWIW.

I used an ultra fine sharpie marker to make a pattern on the stabilizer, then sewed over it and dissolved it with no problems. To be clear, I did not write on the stabilizer while it was on the fabric - but on another solid surface. When I was sure the ink was dry - I placed the stabilizer over the fabric and sewed. Hope this helps.

HI N. Gchristensen, Omg! Thank you this worked like a charm! I tried it earlier, but I didn't hold the red stop button down long enough. I just want to use the scanner darn it! You shouldn't have to be forced to purchase ink if the scanner is all you need to use at the time it does not require ink to scan! Thank you thank you. I was searching online for quite awhile and there was nothing that said you could by pass this. Yep you can! I had to hold my red stop button down for a little longer though, 10 seconds-ish.

NO!!! If you try to use an inkjet all you will end up with is globs of ink. The ink will puddle into gray beads on the disk. I ordered these by mistake. Look for their JVC / Taiyo Yuden (JDMR-SPP-SK16) DVD-R 16X Silver Inkjet Hub Printable Blank DVDR

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 don't think so.. the ink is not runny. It's comparable to a firm felt tip marker.

Oh, and the person who said it wont work without the crayola market maker is just wrong. All you need is a container to pour the ink into and let the foamy suck it up. Just remember to smack the end o the market in so it's completely inside. You'll hear a loud "click". No marker maker needed unless you are not into "doing it yourself"

It absolutely has not worked for me. Have to use sublimation ink. There are companies on eBay that make the ink and it's just as good and much much cheaper than original sublimation. Hope this helps.

The ink is encased in the cartridges so I don't know how you could use your own ink. Sorry. I haven't had a problem with the ink or tried other methods of ink before.
