Subject: Marking
Nicole Gilroy asked about writing in white on black backing papers: We have used Pentel K108 Hybrid fine white marking pens for some time and have found them to be easy to use on a variety of surfaces, providing a reliable clean line (no blurring) and being easily removed with a swab of alcohol or acetone while fresh. We use them on a surface protected with a small amount of Paraloid B72 (Acryloid in the US) in acetone and then covering the pen marks with a further layer of B72 when dry. We have used them on porous surfaces such as paper and card but not in archival situations.
