Are these permanent? I would like pens that don't smudge or bleed from water or alcohol markers

They are not permanent markers. They did smudge for me on a slick calendar that I was writing on. It had to dry for a while before I could write anything else on the calendar. I hope that helps! Happy New Year!

No, they're not a permanent marker. They are a nice writing type pen. They would smudge.

Yes, most alcohol markers will bleed through the paper unless you are using something extra thick. They would not be good for a standard coloring book with pictures on both sides of the page. You will have better luck with something water-based.

I would say permanent marker. They are not shiny at all and I feel a fabric marker may bleed.

Not exactly. Some colors are fairly okay with water others are not. Based on my experience I wouldn't venture into watercolors with them. They work fine but they are best kept dry. I use mine for writing in my planner, doodling and sketching or journalIng, never for wet work. Sakura pens would be a better option or prisma liners for watercolor work.

Basically, these are water-based markers with both a brush tip and a medium tip. I have not tried them on any other surface besides different types of papers. As for a fixative, you could make them semi-permanent with any type of watercolor fixative. However, they are not light-fast in my experience. These are fun markers in a HUGE range of colors. They are not an archival medium.

These markers are not good for children or using on regular paper of any type. The ink will bleed thru unless you are using a good quality cardstock. Also they are permanent and anything childrenmay get these next too will be permanently stained.

I have used them in my Erin Condren planner and it really depends on how hard you write with your pen. More often than not, they don't bleed.

You can write on them with a Sharpie and they will not smear. We use them at our Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club for the kids when they go swimming. We write on them and they stay on in the pool unless the children pull them off on purpose.

I think the writing would stay one pretty well. It may depend on the marker you use. The ones I use take elbow-grease and alcohol to come clean, which means the writing is semi-permanent until I rub the daylights out of it.

I use these pens for Architectural drafting and renderings. I haven't had a issue with them bleeding on trace paper, vellum, or 20lb printer paper.

Hello from San Diego! They do not bleed and these are the pens that my mentor and Bible study teacher/leader endorse. I've only used a few colors so far, but the brown pen has leaked somewhat, be I saw the leaking before it cause any problems. I hope you choose these great tools. God Bless you in your studies.

No, they are regular ink but it writes very smooth, like a gel but without any smudges. Hope it helps

You can write on photo paper with these pens..... they dry fast and won't smear!

A Sharpie pen doesn't write all that well on surfaces like the Sharpie markers, but it's worth a try! I recommend Sakura Pigma Micron pens for wood and an important event memory as your wedding. It is archival ink and doesn't fade in time and writes well! Congratulations and all the best.

I personally have had mine approx 6-8 months no problems. IF however you are interested in trying a different marker, my favorite for a very good inexpensive marker are the Pro-Bullet, 100 colors. These are a water based marker, whereas the Box are an alcohol based marker, and both color differently. In my experience the alcohol based markers (depending on your coloring surface, what type of paper vs card stock) tend not to streak, unlike the water based markers which DO color with streaks. But the Pro-Bullet for a water based marker are VERY nice, and have a very long shelf life.

very little bleeding, actually. they write very well on thin paper, even newsprint. but that mostly depends on the ink and quality of the paper... more factors than just the pen. messy? if you write *really* slowly, i could see it getting a little wet and sloppy, but... i don't think you'll have a problem.
