CS, if you can get it locally, you at least won't have to pay shipping. They are great. They come with 2 different "tips". I use the one with the pointed end because it makes nicer "writing" and easier to read. You just have to remember to put the cap on so it doesn't dry out. I've never had one dry out, but I used mine quite a bit when I had to make calf tags. I've got a couple of them now and they still work.
