That’s a great question, and one of the most important differences between Guard Your ID rollers and many other privacy products.
Our Advanced Rollers (IS-530CM, IS-540CM, IS-580CM) are designed with a specially formulated, oil-based ink that adheres well to a wide variety of surfaces, including coated papers such as magazine stock and many prescription bottle labels. This ink is engineered to mask text clearly and resist rubbing or smearing, even on glossy or slick surfaces where water-based inks often fail.
That said, because coatings and label materials can vary by printer and pharmacy, performance may differ slightly depending on the exact surface. In most cases, customers find the Advanced Roller works far better on coated or glossy papers compared to other brands.
If your main need is for magazines, coated papers, or prescription bottles, the Advanced Roller is our best recommendation for consistent coverage and durability.
