[Disclaimer: I haven't used Menzel SuperFrost Plus slides but use VWR 
with great success.]

I love the Vector ImmEdge pen, it is my favorite.

My facvorite used to be Zymed's as it was thinner and stayed on the 
slide no matter what I did but they must have changed their formula 
as I don't like it anymore and it comes off the slide now.

I find the trick is you must gently blow on the pap penned area for a 
few seconds before putting back in PBS - to dry the pap-pen so to 
speak. Otherwise it comes off.
