Just as the title suggests. Im looking to buy some decent pen/markers to use on tiles because im sick of the markers i buy, drying out after a bit of addy, water or even grout touches the tip.

when the americans first started to go in to space they realised that pens wouldn't work in zero gravity. they spent over one million dollars on inventing a pen that would work in space.
the Russians had no such problems.
why because they used apencil .

The pencil creates a bit of mess though apparently and Russia did start to use pens.

Even more clever in a way because America develops them: Russia just bought a pack of 20 black, 20 blue, 6 red and 2 green (who even uses green pens?! Where do they go? I've never even seen one that's not on a shelf!).

I use one of these on dark tiles, doesn't wash off when wet cutting. From tradetiler.

This is white, there is a dark one too for light tiles.
