Archival Methods 99-8052-12 Overview

This white 12-pack of Stabilo-All Pencils from Archival Methods is designed to write on photographs, film negatives, glass, and metal surfaces. Stabilo-All Pencils can write on plastic-coated paper, whereas regular graphite pencils do not.

The pencils' output is water-soluble and can be wiped easily off a smooth surface with a damp cloth. (Markers and inks are not as conservation-friendly as they are not reversible once used.) If written on the back of a photograph or paper, markings can be erased easily as well. It is recommended to write lightly on photographs and other materials so as not to pressure-transfer, which may cause the writing to become visible on the opposite side.

These are amazing in that you can write legibly on a wet RC print! Or glass, plastic—even Teflon. Seriously, I tried it on wet Teflon thread seal tape and darned if it didn’t work out just fine! “Great,” you say. “What do I need these for?” Well if you are doing wet prints in the darkroom, it’s a snap to make notes on the backs of those wet FB or RC prints as you develop the necessary exposure and development “recipe” for the optimal print. For instance you get one “perfect” and note on it where & how you dodged & burned to create it. Let it dry and save it for reference to recreate copies. And/or note developer type, agitation and toning as needed. If you sign your work, it’s great for that if a #2 pencil doesn’t cut it for you. In any event a dozen of these are worth having in your darkroom.
