Thanks for the info. Can you tell me your source for purchasing the
Millennium Pen?

Light impressions, University Supplies, and Hollinger sell archival
photo pens
that I use when writing on typically non-porus surfaces that need a
thick line (mylar, poly, etc). I don't know how they'll hold up to the
water test, but it
may be worth a try.
For really fine stuff, I had used Micron pens, but my new favorite is
the
Millennium Pen. It's a felt-tip, acid free, waterproof, light fast,
fade proof,
non-bleeding made by Kuretake Co. Ltd (I have it sitting in front of
me). It
comes in lots of widths, but I really like the 005 (I think that's .5
mm).
Typically though, all of our lables have no risk of contact with other
artifacts
because of bags, label covers, or other buffers.
Also, the Museum Tech before me used primarily Sharpie or Micron pens.
