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.

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.
