[NHCOLL-L:4436] Mimeograph labels

[csturmjr+ at pitt.edu]

Folks,

I have several old labels which were original mimeograph labels (bluish
ink) which are fading. Not all of the locality data is readable. Does
anyone know if there is a way of trying to bring out the faded text?

I have tried photocopying these labels to see if I could darken the text.
This failed on two different machines. I have tried different light
sources (but not UV yet) and this failed. Any other thought on physical
and/or chemical techniques that I might try?

Thanks.

Regards,
Charlie
