Message: 1 Hi About 10 years ago there was a nice archival white ink for labeling objects. I want to relabel some objects and use a clear B-72 as a base with white ink on dark objects. The labeling done 15-20 years ago was not placed in discreet locations and the writing is not legible.
Thanks for your comments. Alicia M Bjornson Dear Alicia, A very popular white marker is the Edding paint marker. It comes in 2 thicknesses (n°751: 1-2 mm and n°780: 0.8 mm). The pigments are permanent and work very well on B-72 leaving a mate paint over the acrylic. You can find them at Conservation by design, p 142 of our catalogue.

Has anyone heard of or use non-adhesive methods to label their books? We would really appreciate any ideas and opinions on this issue. Thank you in advance for your help! Rebecca D'Ambrosio Wellcome Trust Dear Rebecca, When I worked in the national archives in France we looked for similar solution. 1st we went for conservation paper covers. It was very convenient because we could right or stick anything on it but we stopped when we realized that the wrapping was occulting on going degradations processes. Then we looked for polyester bands or covers. Not too bad but not really suitable for large and heavy books and difficult to attach. Awkwardly the end solution was Tyvek labels attached to linen strings that were pasted between 2 pages (a little like a page finder but the other way round) and hanging from the head onto the spine. Aesthetically it was hard to accept but it worked really well. If you want to try any of these solution you can find the conservation paper, the polyester or the Tyvek labels at Conservation by design. I'd be happy to discuss further if you wish.
