What Which Ink Would Be Good For A Black "highlighter"

[Icywolfe]

Well it's going into a highlighter body for the preppy.

 

I have 2 choices Noodler's Black or Platinum Carbon Black

 

Use for: going to blacken out top secret info (Just really, my address)

 

I'm not sure if the CB will actually clog up the highlighter tip of the pen.

I use Platinum Carbon Black in my Preppy regularly. No problems, no concerns, and a great ink for all kinds of terrible paper! I'm not sure how effective it's going to be writing over printed addresses, though.

I'm going to have to agree with Freddy on using a Sharpie rather than an FP for redaction... I just don't think FP ink will be dark enough. For that matter, depending on the ink you're trying to cover, even the Sharpie may not be 100% (I've found that shinier printer inks tend to show through the more-matte marker ink anyway). In such cases, I usually try to scrub it out with a firmly-applied ballpoint as well. (Of course, if it's FP-written addresses you're trying to obliterate... then ignore all of the above!)

Carbon black gives better coverage for me than most other inks; the presence of the particles makes it more opaque.

Go for the carbon black. Report back!

Hi,

 

Plan 'B': Apply opaque permanent labels over that which needs to be redacted:certainly less obtrusive, and likely more effective.

I regularly re-use padded mailing envelopes, and I usually black out my address with a preppy highlighter that's been filled with Noodler's Polar Black. As suggested by the post office, I also scribble out any barcodes on the previous packaging.
