Hi guys. I designed my own std magnets by just printing my design on white magnet paper and they came out really great. But when I touched them, especially parts that were printed in darker colors, they smudge...does anyone have any ideas for how to avoid smudging?

Re: DIY STD Magnets
Not sure if this will work, but the only Idea I have, and you'd have to try one to see if it works is to get the clear spray lacquer / schalc (spelling?) and spray it on one before you touch it. let it thoroughly dry and see if it still smudges.
Did you let the ink dry for like a day or two before you 'smeared' it. Maybe it just needs to thoroughly dry to begin with. My dads photo paper/printer says to let them sit for 24 hrs before touching b/c they are a shiny paper to begin with (no pores for ink binding)

maybe upload it to vista print.
I designed my own ... then I paid $25 for 75 magnets including 7 day shipping (got them in 4 days)

Re: DIY STD Magnets
i just finished mine! I used the Staples brand white magnet paper through my ink jet printer on a high quality photo/glossy paper setting.
Once they came out I placed the whole sheet on my fridge to dry! The next day we spent cutting them out.
