I bought some white pigment ink and made a card and the next day I touched it and it smudged.Why does this happen?

Pigment Ink does not dry on slick surfaces. It takes longer to dry on paper, making it great for heat embossing with clear EP though.

I don't think so... I used a regular ink jet and they came out fine. I didn't touch them right away (5-10 minutes) to be safe. I also did some on a laser jet, those were ready to use just about instantly and didn't smudge at all. I had great luck and no smudging with these lables.

I had the same problem there is a drum component of the toner cartridge that electrostatically "spreads the toner" before it is heated and fused to the paper. I believe the drum unit is defective. I returned my cartridge to Amazon for this reason. I had smudges and what looked like double images on the paper.

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

If it shows up correctly on the stamper before you stamp, it is likely the type of polish you are using. It needs to be a less liquidy polish to transfer correctly I have found..

I'm not certain but I think it might smear the ink. This cardstock also has a very strong scent.

I bought the white ink color to use on cards, but I do not think they would stay on plastic.

Possibly paint markers or sharpies. I wasnt using the cards in a permanent way

I wanted it for printing 'rack' cards on my color laser printer. The toner/ink did not dry fast enough so they came out smeared.

Write first with the sharpie, then spray lightly with multiple coats, allowing it to dry between applications. Card stock should be fine, but light paper might wrinkle. The material is water based, so putting too much on in one coat could cause issues with paper.

I have found that when using this ink on paper for stamping it is waterproof. Meaning that once it is dry, if you add other paints on top of it, it doesn't mix with the new paint.

mine didn't smudge, however I didn't touch them immediately after printing.

Since you indicate the ink glows I'll assume that you know this is an invisible ink that glows under UV. The glow is difficult to see if the paper you're using has optical brighteners. Optical brighteners reflect UV light making the paper whiter. Try writing on a tan or ivory colored paper to see if the it glows. Since I don't us this on dark paper I can't advise you on this. Can you provide the color and paper type you using? If the ink globs on the paper there is possibly a problem with your pen. Did you make absolute certain that you thoroughly cleaned the pen of all previous inks before loading up with this ink. Some inks don't play well with each other and will thicken or congeal in the nib and feed. Can you post some images showing the trouble you're having?

They are quite glossy, so you would most likely have smearing with stamp ink. Try a matte version.
