Default Writing on Poly shrink??

What kind of marker to do I need to use to write on Poly shrink?
After I've sanded the poly shrink, my marker "runs" in the sanded ridges.
I'm using stayz-on for the stamping part of the project.

thanks in advance!

But do they "run" into the sanded ridges? That is my problem!

You can use sharpies without sanding, just as you can use Staz-on without sanding.

If you need to sand it (because you want to use another medium that requires it) be sure to sand both ways (up/down and side-to-side). You should end up with a rough surface without the lines, but it is kind of hard to do. Sand more!

My experience with shrink plastic has been that if my ink pad is too wet it tends to bleed/spread on the shrink plastic. I'm thinking that would be true using a very inky marker. You might try using a marker that's a bit dry. Hope this helps.

I don't know what your project is like, but I have run shrink plastic through the printer before.
