It got me to thinking about my own project -
essentially a map on a

was thinking of plotting on mylar, but I was unable to find any HP
plotter pens with permanent ink for anything other than paper. Has
anyone on the list here had to do any archival plots for surveying?
I'm sure that whatever products they are using would be more than
sufficient for my purposes.

We used the refillable style pens which can be messy, but it did allow
the cleaning of the nib in the ultrasonic cleaner. This was almost
always needed before use. At one point our department assigned someone
to clean the damn things every morning in hopes of them being useful all
day. Occasionally that would hold true. :(
