What works on the back of Costco/Kirkland Glossy?

What works on the back of Costco/Kirkland Glossy?

2006-03-06 by Richard Cooke

Hi Folks,

Anybody have any good ideas on what to use to write on the back of the
Kirkland glosy paper?  Pencil won't work.  I've tried a Zig pigment
ink pen (supposed to be archival and acid-free) but it never seems to
dry and will smudge.

Thanks,

I use Pigma Micron pens, in 005 and 02 sizes - but on the back of luster, not Kirkland.

Might be worth a try for a couple bucks...

Hi.
Try a Sharpie. It says it's permanent. Don't know if true.

That will work just let it dry for a minute. But as far as acid free I don't know, but then 
again is that costco paper acid free and of archival grade?

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
