Soft pencil is the best solution. Using a sharpie is last resort because you can transfer ink if you stack prints before processing. And I have seen it desensitize emulsions when stacking.

(Without stacking them.)Right.If so, this is emulsion pressure sensitivity.Solutions: Try using softer lead pencil Don't push as hard when writing. Use a sharpie.OK, I'll try that. I was worried that a sharpie might show through even more though.Tell Ilford they have an emulsion sensitivity problem. Oh, BTW, are the numbers in the dark area lighter or darker?Lighter.--Shannon (scourge of hypocritical feminists and overly hard pencils everywhere)=============================================================================================================To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
