I have used several types of card stamped with stazon and as long as it is smooth have had no problems. The images have been stamped previously so are well dry. The ink does come through slightly but have been colouring on my (old) dining room table and nothing has transferred on to it. Its just trial and error to find what is best for you but I am well and truly addicted to them, have just ordered the case this morning so will be organising tomorrow hopefully.
