I am pleased so far with the Uni Paint marker (from Hobbycraft) I bought instead of the Pen-touch one I had been using for years - it doesn't seem to clog up like the other one did. Another point is that the 6" stick labels (still black) I have begun using are slightly textured on one side, the side I write on, and I think the writing won't rub off as it did in time on smoother labelsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-67506887920674359142014-03-24T13:09:15.364+00:002014-03-24T13:09:15.364+00:00At least none of them have faded completely, I'...At least none of them have faded completely, I've had that happen before and then I've been in a right old pickle not knowing what's what.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-35785880636487688262014-03-24T10:56:45.793+00:002014-03-24T10:56:45.793+00:00Pleased the Artline did well, it was my favourite ...Pleased the Artline did well, it was my favourite from an aesthetic point of view.
