Review on Sakura 38881 3 Piece Blister Graphic by Sasha Hsiao

Many gardeners find it difficult to find a labeling solution that will withstand sun and rain throughout the growing season. I did some research and found that people have had the most success with these archival pens. But even if they're advertised as archival, that doesn't mean the ink will stick to every surface. The description warns against using ink on fabrics that are intended to be washed. I assumed they would be stable, waterproof and not smearing on other surfaces. I tried three different plastic labels with glossy to matte finishes. They're all smeared. Even after I let the letter dry for a day. So I popped these pins. Something I should have done before buying. Turns out they're only made for smooth wood and paper. So I took some tongue depressors and the ink seems to have adhered to the wood very well.
