Ken, is your Pilot pen the kind that you have to shake a number of times then "pump" the tip by pressing it down on some scrap to get the ink flowing? That's what mine requires.
I wonder if they've changed the formula over time. Or if the Satin Photographic is especially impervious to the ingredients. It just seems to sit on top of the paper and rubs off onto my finger when touched.
