[Histonet] Securline markers

[Emily]

We have been having a major problem the Securline markers for about a year - they are pretty much dry when we get them. The company that manufactures them told me to add xylene to each marker. It works most of the time, but it takes up a lot of time to add the xylene. My feeling is that I shouldn't have to do that anyway - they should just make a marker that actually works. I have tried out many other pens/markers and have found none to be satisfactory. The ink either fades too much during processing or just totally washes off. Does anyone have any similar issues? Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
