Rick, I found that the fixing bath is aggressive enough to delete any "permanent" marker. If lab's cooperation is not an option I suppose you can always mechanically stamp your rolls by punching some holes. Just make sure you it's not on the first 5 cm which the lab usually cuts. BTW, do you send the rolls by mail or do you deliver it yourself? Personal contact makes people more responsible. Servus, Alin
