Does it write on black paper?

I don't know as I did not use it on black paper. However, the ink is so light, I doubt it would do well on a dark bacground.

Hi.. unfortunately they won't write on black paper. After you asked this question I tried it on a black paper and I can't see anything. Hope this helps. But I liked them.

the colors will not show up on dark paper. they all just look like dark ball point ink.

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

Yes, you can write on the back. *However*, as I recall, there are Canon logo watermarks across a diagonal across the page ... I am not at home to be sure of this though.Also, a ball point pen is likely to leave impressions on the paper - depending on how deeply you write, this could show at the front of the image. I would instead use a Sharpie permanent, fine-point perhaps.

Yes! (just tested), even though is is not 100% (smooth/shiny). To test it I grabbed some regular printing paper an wrote with pen/pencil and the very small (almost unnoticeable) crumbling of the surface did not pass through when writing.

Yes, it is not ideal for writing on.Plastic, it's one solid piece, real flat. Just the top is rubbery.I hope that helps. We love ours, it's perfect for my son.

No. After it runs out of a certain amount of color ink it will absolutely refuse to print, even with a full new black ink when you are trying to print in just black. It's really a rip off and I don't plan on buying one of these again. Right now I have a complete paperweight until I can afford some color ink, even though I never print in color.

Hi there is a black pen, but I have not used it, so can't say what it is like, but the ones I have used worked really well.

I just tested on mine - I wrote with a Papermate Profile ballpoint pen and tried to smear it immediately after writing. No smear.

No. These markers are translucent - they would need to be opaque to show up on a black surface. I tried and they don't show up on black paper, but you would be able to see them if you put the black cast under a black light. You would want to get some type of paint pen for a black cast

Photos on plain paper isn't the quality that you get with photo paper... that is the case with all printers I have owned. The black in a text document are very good on plain paper, very black.

No. Only on non-porous surfaces. Otherwise it sill stain what you write permanently.

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

Yes, shouldn't be a problem - I used black ink, but didn't notice any issues with the paper being too slick or anything.

Nope. Painted black, and it's dull because it is a display piece. Your point may be sharpened, though.

I use it on black thick paper so it doesn't bleed - I have used in on white paper - it doesn't come all the way through, but you can definitely see it.

It does have a grey marker. Testing it on regular printer paper it appears fairly dark. I also tested the colors on velum tracing paper and it looks much lighter on that surface. So, just be aware that the darkness of the grey marker has a bit of variation depending on the surface you're using it on.

yes it does show up on black construction paper, but because the paper is so absorbent you have to go over it several times intil you get the look you want. Also it will bleed. Yes it is permanent
