Subject: Metallic permanent marker

Metallic permanent marker

From: Joanna McMann <archmuse<-at->
Date: Wednesday, August 19, 2015
We recently acquired some posters on lightly coated white paper
stock.  In addition to the printer ink (likely laser printed),
autographs have been added to the poster face in metallic Sharpie
(or Sharpie type maker).

Has anyone encountered this media?

Are there additional/specific deterioration or preservation issues
re: metallic makers as opposed to the typical/non-metallic
Sharpie/Sharpie-type markers?
