Re: labeling on negative film base

I used to use a product called " Black Magic" a form of  India ink... Regular India ink does not have enough density... It has been 15 years since I bought the bottle and it is used with a Radiograph pen....... It is for opaqing lith film and may go under another name by now......

Subject: labeling on negative film base

hello

I have been experimenting with titling my VDB prints by labeling directly on to the film base of a negative (below the image) so as the title appears as paper white on the print border. A regular sharpie does not produce enough density on clear acetate to be effective. Anyone have any ideas as to what might work? 

thanks
