are colors permanent when dry?

No. This is a water based product and so unfortunately, it is susceptible to both fading and water damage. A product called Microglaze, can be used with these to produce a smudge proof "waterproof" finish.

I thought it might. The permanent color would be more expensive.Thanks for your help.

I think my daughter mostly uses the dry method and yes the colour stays vibrant after washing.

Yes they seem to dry well on many different surfaces; glass, wood, paper. The only problem I had with this product was only one of the colors is glow in the dark, the rest are just neon.

The color of the beads in the little window change color from blue to pink as the moisture is driven out of the beads. When it's pink, the unit is dry and ready to be use again. When the beads turn blue again, it's time to dry it out again.

No! No repeat colors! There are a lot of reds but they have different shades and textures :)

I haven't gotten the paper too damp, but it doesn't bleed any more. The ink should be permanent on most paper unless you are using on something glossy, then it has that wonderful smear affect that gel ink does.

No, it is a water based Ink. I don't think you could refill it with permanent ink either, it does not seal well enough and would dry out.

No it's pretty much permanent after it dries. Youight be able to get it to a gooey consistensy if you soaked the book or paper it is on in water

yes, you will need to let it dry for several hours. You will need to charge the paint with a bright light source in order to get it to glow properly. It is not the brightest paint. I would recommend the ultra-green.

This is the most permanent of the sharpie markers, so I doubt that it would fade.

Yes, I've washed it but not dried it, just air dry. Colors still look the same too.

According to a website I saw (sorry don't remember where) they said if it turns WHITE vs the greyish color it usually is, that it has probably gone bad. So I guess you're safe if it is dry and grey in color.

Absolutely not, once it's dry. It is fountain pen ink, so it washes off the pen mechanism with water, but it has a chemical reaction with the cellulose in paper that makes it very permanent after it drys.

You got my curiosity up.....so, I just applied a few drops of the undiluted red and green to some eggshells. I only let them sit for a few seconds and then wiped them off and sure enough, the color stuck....longer soaking would result in deeper colors, I'm sure.

I used it on the walls and it never faded or chipped off. I never tried to remove it, so I can only guess about it being permanent.

Ok so think of these as kind of like a crayola color wonders but you don't need a special paper, like when you drawl woth them it takes a few seconds for the color to appear. However they are VERY permanent like a sharpie, just ask my toddler whos taken on and drawn on the gloss table. Haha. Yes they will work and blend for this project and be permanent.
