Archival Methods Stabilo-All Pencils (12-Pack, Blue)

Archival Methods Stabilo-All Pencils (12-Pack, Blue)

These blue Stabilo-All Pencils from Archival Methods come in a box of 12 and are useful for when you need to write on the backs of plastic-coated photographs or other glossy surfaces such as film, glass, plastic, and metal. They work equally well on paper photos, album pages, and mounted photos. Stabilo-All Pencils are water soluble, and the writing can be erased with a damp cloth when used on smooth surfaces, or when used on paper.

Conservators advise against using markers or ink pens, as they can transfer and are not reversible. Standard #2 graphite pencils work well on paper-backed photos, but not on plastic-coated surfaces

When writing with Stabilo or #2 pencils, remember to work on a clean, hard surface and apply a light touch to the back of your image. This helps you avoid pressure transfer, which may cause the writing to be visible on the image side. It is always best to write near the edges, rather than the middle, to be safe

Stabilo Pencils are water soluble and can be wiped off of smooth surfaces with a damp cloth, or erased easily when used on paper
