Below is an image of a signature partially transferring over to the inside of a top loader.

Learned something new. In your opinion, are they absorbed into the paper or does the ink/marker sit on top?

I'm honestly not sure, although I would assume that any permanent marker probably absorbs into the paper at least a little bit. That's usually why you get bleed through when using a permanent marker on a sticky note pad.

Bumped for those going to Wizard Philly this weekend...

	Holy crap! The lady at the Library of Congress said that Sharpies could eventually eat through the paper, but I never though about the ink/paint lifting right off.

Heck, I crack out SS books all the time and even then I see some transfer to the inner well and that may be months/years after the fact. The paint has a "gummy" feel to it and does not dry or get absorbed into the paper like an ink pen or sharpie does.
