Hi all,
this is my first reply to Museum L !
Here at the Martha's Vineyard Museum, we have been trying a pen made by 
Sakura, Pen Touch and have had decent luck with it.  You just have to 
get hang of how to control the ink flow.  It is not labeled as 
"archival" and I'm wondering if the gelly pen from Gaylord, listed in 
another reply, is?
