Sharpie STAINED Pens for Reveal-S Decoration
Tips for success using the Sharpie Stained pens on Reveal-S
Color with long strokes, trying not to overlap them. The pen strokes will transfer just as they appear on the film.
Do not color the image using a back and forth motion as you would with crayons. This method will disrupt the emulsion on the film, resulting in a very sloppy appearance.
Shake the pen from time to time to keep the ink flowing.
Keep a small scrap piece of paper handy to clean the tip of the pen when necessary. If the emulsion builds up a bit on the pen, give a slight shake and wipe the tip on the paper to remove any contamination. The ink should flow more freely after cleaning.
Be patient; if you color too fast, it will look sloppy!
Transfer the image using the exact same settings as with sublimation ink; 385 F, 18 sec, heavy pressure.
The recommended wash instructions are the same as sublimation inks, as well.
