Paint Pen Issue

[JMRevolution]

Hi there,

I just got an authentic personalised Margot Robbie autograph signed with a paint pen, and its smudging, and it has been 48 hours. Fortunately I have 2 other signed autographs by Elizabeth Debicki and have been using them to gauge whether its been dry or not.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I've tried blow drying, I don't know what to do next.

I've never had an issue with paint pens, it might be a combination of the photo paper I printed from a store?

Thanks

Out of curiosity, why do you use paint pens? There are other types that are better known for not smearing.

I prefer the paint pen cause it has abit of a shine to them, I mean it's never been an issue before.

After waiting a few days, I've come to the conclusion its the paper, not the pen. I've got other autographs from a different batch, same paper, not bonding well.

I'm thinking of clear coating it.
