A couple of weeks ago I tried labelling some nitrocellulose filters with a
regular sharpie. It was pretty difficult to get the sharpie to mark on the
filters, but it was possible. After I developed the autorad, the sharpie
marks that had been on the filters were clearly visible on the film.
Hope this helps,
Brett
