Troubleshooting

Ink smudging on the card surface

Use a quick-drying archival pen or allow the ink to set for at least 30 seconds before closing the card.

Envelope adhesive not sealing properly

Lightly moisten the seal with a clean, damp sponge rather than excessive licking, or use a small decorative wax seal for a more secure and elegant hold.
