I used India ink and dip pen from the local art store. Archival ink sounds interning as does "micron" pens, where would one find those? At the archival store?
. Coulndn't resist - the devil made me do it! Must be getting cabin fever! Have a good one and stay safe!

Lot of good tips and choices.
I did the lettering with pens to ( don't remember the brands) but it never worked out well for me. I bought a wood burner and I love it.

Faber-Castell India ink PITT artist pens. Also sold in packs of various nib sizes. As simple as a Sharpie, but it's India Ink.

Off to the art supply store, if they are considered essential business here! Hopefully they know Micron as well! I like making marks on stuff!(little woodcarver emoji here, but we don't have one)!
