Ditto on Mike's comment.  I started out with .20mm latex and got so frustrated with it that I didn't try...

Writing on Latex

Posted by Matthew Vander Ploeg on: Oct 18th 2010 2:18:48 am

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had success writing (permanently) on latex with a pen/marker/etc.  It seems most of the markers I try (even permanent) begin to rub off or fade away. Do you know of anything that is truly...
