[Histonet] .."Sharpie" marker pens

[Rebecca Barnhart]

We have been able to use a sharpie industrial pen with Sakura, Ted Pella
and SurgiPath cassettes.  We don't use it on slides because it fades
just enough to passably cause problems.

I wonder if it has something with the cassette manufacturer - maybe
there is
a coating - like oil? We use Sakura/Allegiance/Cardinal (whatever
they're
called now) with the industrial pen.

The Sharpie "industrial" did not work in our processor.
