I just did a processor test on a Pigma Micro Pen and it came out without any
fading. I also tested them in staining and they faded only a little bit as
compared to the Shurmark. The trick is to make sure the slides/cassettes
are dry after writing on them. Anyway, I think you can get them at StatLabs.
Good Luck!
