Writing on glossy paper

[Dan Murphy]

I know there are some scrappers here on the CB.

I recently made up a Shutterly book for Christopher and his 8th grade graduation, (about 50 pages, from the day of his birth through his graduation). I used the premium paper (almost like a light, stiff cardboard) and the premium cover. It came a few weeks ago. Turned out wonderful. I wanted to write a bit on the inside front cover (it is a very stiff cover). It is blank white now, somewhat glossy. Any suggestions on white I can use to write there, concerned about smearing.

Thanks.
Dan

Could you possibly use a label to write on and apply it to the page?

Can you test a small part in the corner? If it smudges, wipe it off.

I've used the brand "slick writers" with good success. Definitely available on amazon. Not sure where else.

Good ideas here. I looked up the slick writers , not available currently at Amazon, but are at Michael's.

Fine tipped Sharpie then let it air dry? Not a scrapbooker, just someone who writes on lab labels a lot.

Sharpie has always worked for us.

Either write on an adhesive label you can apply or use any type of permanent maker.

I made an autograph book years ago for my daughter to use at Disney. It's actually just a photo book printed on glossy paper from Shutterfly. We had characters sign throughout the book on various photos. I used medium tip sharpies and never had an issue with smearing.

Sounds good, thank you everybody. Much appreciated.

Stopping back for an update. I purchased a 2 pack of Sharpie Ultra Fine pens on Amazon. Came the next day. I tested on the glossy paper pack that they came in as well as the clear plastic bubble on the package. Very nice thin line, like a regular ink pen. Waited a few seconds, rubbed the writing, no smear. Success!! Thank you all for your help.
