Hi Jerry,
	We now use a cassette printer ( from Raymond Lamb - UK ), but we
still use the occassional Secureline marker. I agree though, they don't
last too long ( some more than others ) and they are ridiculously
expensive. The only cheap alternative I know of is pencil I'm afraid.

Hello everybody in the land of knowledge:
   I have a question that really needs an answer, what type of marking
pens
are in use in various labs for labeling cassettes.
  In my lab pens by Secureline are in use, but have a very short life
span.
Even with careful covering, they dry out very fast. Any suggestions.??
This
situation is the source of much frustration.
   Is there something better out there at a reasonable cost.??
   Your help would be very much appreciated in advance.
