[Nhcoll-l] Sakura Pens RE: Nhcoll-l Digest, Vol 68, Issue 4

[Marybeth S Tomka]

List readers,

May I suggest the Zig Millenium pens over the Sakura Pigma.  In labeling archaeological artifacts the ethanol or acetone in the B-72 easily "eats" the ink from the Sakura Pigma pens.  I don't know that it would do the same for what you are working on, but it is definitely a problem for us.  The Zig Millenium pens come in a variety of sizes and colors as the Sakura Pigmas do.

And thank you to the user who posted the review articles on pens!

Hi

 

Does anyone have any experience using, or done any tests on Sakura Pigma pens, and found them suitable for writing on labels of specimens in alcohol?

 

Many thanks
