| More Pens and Markers |
There's still a lot more to look at:
Yasutomo - Y & C makes some Gel Xtreme pens. These are pastel and
metallic rollers (0.7mm). The colors show on dark or light papers and are
water-based pigment ink. They are both acid free - even though only the
pastel colors state so on the packaging (I checked their website, however,
and all of the Gel Xtreme pens are listed as acid free!)
Marvy-Uchida - makes a line of memory calligraphy markers from 'Marvy
Memories'. These are Acid-Free/Non-Toxic, Photo Safe, Light fast, Archival
in Quality. Broad and fine pen points. Good for Journaling and writing the
captions!
This company also makes the brush markers that are great for rubber
stamping. These markers come in many colors and are all Acid
Free/Non-Toxic, Water Based Ink, Blendable Pen Tip Medium Brush Point
and Extra-fine Plastic Point on Same Pen.
Also, along the same lines, are the signature markers from Dee Gruenig.
Again, these are acid free markers, that are good and juicy - perfect for
coloring a stamp and then stamping or stamping/embossing first - then
coloring in with these markers!
Marvy-Uchida has a line of gel pens that are acid free and write on light or
dark surfaces.
Pentel of America - offers a line of metallic gel pens that show up bright and
clear - even on black cardstock. They have a fine 0.3mm point and are filled
with acid free, waterproof, fade resistant, and permanent. The have both the
Sunburst and a Metallic Gel Roller. They also have more colorful gel
(non-metallic) roller pens - these are in a wonderful category - affordable. I
guess I should add they are usually in the "easily findable" category, as well!
There are some great pens available at your local office supply store (you
don't want to limit yourself to the just the craft or specialty memory stores!)
Pilot - another maker of gel pens. The Neo-Gels are not listed as acid free,
but the ExecuGel pens are. These, however, only come in black ink. For
archival quality colored gel inks - they offer the G-2 line, and the G-2
metallics.
Rose Art - offers metallic markers - not acid free - but they sure show up on
black paper!
Sanford (the makers of Sharpie) - offer a Calligraphic pen. These have
some nice colors, and are inexpensive - but, again, are not acid free. I
guess that's not Sanford's bag.
I suppose this list could go on and on. There are a lot of pens and markers
out there. I'm always looking for a marker that writes on many surfaces and
colored papers, as well as meeting my archival quality requirements. I
suppose the manufacturers will supply what the market demands.
