I saw them on the Paper Source website a few days ago. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/addressing-darker-envelopes#post-64727 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 10:22:27 +0000 quickbrownfox 64727@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>have you tried one of those permanent marker/pens? like one of those calligrapher pens?</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/addressing-darker-envelopes#post-64709 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 09:37:42 +0000 staceyb 64709@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>you might try a black paint pen? then the ink will sit on top of the surface and stay dark, instead of soaking in to the paper. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/addressing-darker-envelopes#post-64697 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 09:18:49 +0000 huskerlx 64697@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Have you tried getting scrapbooking markers or pens (they come in all colors) from your local Michael's or scrapbooking store?</p> <p>You could also take them to Kinko's maybe and have them print them for you. Just an idea. Or even find a local calligrapher to do them for you.</p> <p>&nbsp;Hope this helps.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/addressing-darker-envelopes#post-64692 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:48:41 +0000 crave13 64692@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hey bees, </p> <p>i am having silver envelopes for my invitations.&nbsp; The ink from my black market seems to bleed and fade when i write on them (probably bc of the texture of the surface) making the words look very faint.&nbsp; I don't own a printer that i can run these through and i really don't want to use labels.&nbsp; do you have any suggestions?&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;thanks! </p>
