<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Theresa, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We use both Pigma (Sakura) Pens and Faber-Castell PITT pens to aid in labeling. However, you should test what ever pen you are thinking of using for both light fastness and stability – in this case in alcohol. I suggest testing these
with every new batch of pens you purchase. Be sure to test with whatever alcohol you use and with water, just to make sure that the dried ink is stable and will not bleed.
