Re: Numbering glossy prints.



Do you have any problems with smudging or graphite residue with such a soft
lead? I used to sell drafting supplies, and that was always a concern with
very soft graphite-based lead. There are also leads formulated for use on
polyester film that are more smudge-resistant, but I've never tried them on
photographs.

Best wishes,
