Markers for Autograph Books

[summerw]

I made DS an autograph book on Shutterfly. A lot of the pages are dark so I'm thinking I need metallic markers for most of them. I usually go Sharpie and I'd love to get retractable ones but they don't make any metallic retractable and their metallic is only for silver, gold and bronze. Has anyone used these? People in the reviews said they dried after a few seconds, which is how long a Sharpie takes anyway, right? They seem the same rough size/shape as a Sharpie so would be good for furry characters, right? Thanks!

Anyone? Any suggestions for autograph markers that work on dark backgrounds would be great!

I have used the bic silver one and it showed up nicely on black paper. I've found though that the retractable ones dryed out/ran out faster though. You may want to try out a store such as Michaels/AcMoore that does crafting stuff they are bound to have more of a selection that you can see in person. They also have fine line sharpies that they sell indivudally in staples that can get you a few seperate colors for cheap to try out.

My Staples stopped selling individual Sharpies due to shoplifting. The metallic sharpies often cone in a multipack. They seem to dry out faster than the regular colors but maybe that was just my experience.

Thanks. Since the book's background is so dark, I will definitely go metallic. Someone did a project with the ones above on black and they were all visible so I guess I'll just try them out. Thanks!
