personally i have never had any bleeding problems as i colour after leaving for a day
Wow! I never thought of using hairspray to stop the bleeding! Thanks for the great tip!
I tend to leave my printout to dry completely for a day or as long as possible. The ink always seems dry, when really, it is no where near, and that can really mess up an image!
Hope you succeeded in preventing this happening!!
Isn't it amazing how different printers/inks/papers can have such a different result?
I colour mine straight from the printer and never have problems with ink or colours bleeding!
Same here Lanny, I use Epson inks in an Epson printer ! and if I stamp them I always use Memento inks and colour immediately.Quote:

You can also use a workable fixative spray. You should be able to get one from an art supply store. The brand I use right now is Prismacolor.
I have an Epson printer too and don't seem to have any problems with the ink running. However, this did happen with my old Kodak printer which I still use occasionally so thanks for the tip - will give the hairspray a go
You can also try heat-setting the printer ink for a few moments :)
I also have a Epson Printer and have no problems
