Marilou Marshall:
Hello Erica, Will sumi ink or walnut ink dry waterproof for addressing envelopes? I made a mistake and used Higgins Eternal on addressing an envelope and it bled like crazy! Would you have an ink to recommend? How about envelopes? I bought the Value Pack envelopes/card from Michaels and the envelopes are quite thin. Should I try using a fixative on the envelopes or just order some envelopes at envelopes.com. Need your advice! Thanks, Marilou

jamiemateo:
This is very Helpful! Thanks a lot Erica  ;)

Erica McPhee:
Hi Marilou,
Higgins does tend to bleed more than others. A lot depends on the sizing of the envelope, too. Sumi or Walnut are not waterproof. There are a couple threads which may help.

Bleeding Envelopes
Waterproofing Envelopes

I hope that helps!  :)

Hi, Erica!

How about recommending practice paper, as well?
