I just bought two sets of Spot Pens from Adororama in New York.  I tried
them out on Ilford MG III RC glossy and they worked beautifully.  They are
expensive compared to Spotone which I have been using since the last ice
age, and cost $29 for a package of ten shades.  They come in cold and warm
tone sets.  The company is SpotPen, P.O. Box 1559 Las Cruces, New Mexico
88004.  I have no idea how long they are useable.  I also saw them
advertized for about $10 more per package in Light Impressions.  Four
bottles of Spotone and several good brushes will do the job at a fraction
of the cost, if you are patient and very careful.
