[Taxacom] Indelible Ink

[Veldkamp, J.F. (Jan Frits)]

I have been studying Art. 30 of the ICBN where there is talk of
indelible autograph. I have the impression from Art. 30.2 this means
using ink as in printing "reproduced by mechanical or graphic process
(such as lithography, offset, or metallic etching)". What would delible
autograph be? Pencil? OK. Fountain pen? In school kits here they have a
kind of felt tip pen that removes ballpoint ink. In my time we used
diluted household bleach. When is ink indelible?

What is the printer of choice these days for labels and annotations?
About
10-15 years ago, an inkjet Lexmark was recommended because the black ink
was indelible.

Thank you.
