[Histonet] India Ink for inking surgical margin borders

[Pam Marcum]

The only warning I know of and I have used India Ink is to be sure it is the "permanent" India Ink not the washable.  If you buy the non-permanent it will come off in processing.

I normally purchase India Ink from one of our vendors, but know it's also sold and used at artist supply shops.  Does anyone know if I can used the artist india ink for Pathology use?  Really, the only issue would be if the ink stays on the tissue during processing right? Please advise.
