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!
