TDK sells such pens both all-black and in colors. For the latter, the 
trademark is "CD Mark". Computer Geeks has sold Hi-Val instruments 
called CD Marking Pens which carry all the right assurances; I've bought 
a couple of pair but have not used them yet.

A local art-supply shop (brick and mortar - remember those?) offered a 
variety of candidates in assorted colors and widths. For many purposes, 
I've found the Farber-Castell PITT artist pen most useful in black, 
though it claims to use "Indian" ink <G>. The brush tip works well but 
finer ones are available.
