I bought a pack of the Clover House chalk marks a couple of years ago and found that they would not transfer from the backing sheet no matter what surface I tried to put them on. I contacted Clover

Very nice.

What brand and model of printer do you use? I looked on the HP web site, but didn’t find any mention of a ghost white printer, must black and white and color. I have a LaserJet 1200, which is pretty

I agree with Bob Chaparro's assesment of Prismacolor pencils. I would encourage taking this a step further and combining this with decals or dry transfers. Michael Gross on one of his tutorials on

Peter, I can't help you with this problem but as an alternative I recommend using Prismacolor Verithin (not regular Prismacolor) art pencils. I've conducted several 'hands-on" chalk marking clinics
