TF-5 dissolves/removes India Ink!!

[Steve Goldstein]

I mark my negatives on the base side using a fine-point technical pen and India Ink, which has proven impervious to 91% isopropyl and PEC Cleaner. Last night I went to refix some 4x5 negs that were still slightly pinkish. Before slipping the first sheet into the tray I dipped in a small piece of paper towel and gave the identifier a wipe - gone! I'm glad I checked.

File this one away in your useful trivia collection.

Good to know. I have wondered how to take off india ink.
