RE: Marking pens

From:Tara Miller <taratheht@hotmail.com>

We also were using the Secureline Marker II markers, and had trouble with 
the number being scraped off our cassettes when we scraped off the excess 
paraffin.  We've had better luck with Shur/Mark pens from Triangle 
Biomedical Sciences.  The ink dries extra fast and seems to stay put better. 
  However, the nib is more blunt and wears down even faster. Not good for 
people who can't write small neatly.  But, the nibs are replaceble (you have 
to reprime the ink into the nib). Just remember that these pens dry out just 
as fast as any other solvent resistent pens.  So, keep them capped!
