I prefer to use the rose markers sold by EON Industries (they advertise in the
back of the AIS Bulletins). I paint the nametag portion with a 1-coat primer (I prefer
white but I suppose you could use any color you like) with a 1" wide disposable foam
brush. Dries quickly, makes it easier to see and read the nameplates, also makes the
nameplates life longer. It involves a little more work to paint the nameplates, I
know...but it is worth it in the end!!! One could even be creative and use a different
color marker for each size class of iris (TB, BB, IB, etc.), type (sib., jap.,etc.), or
use whatever system that appeals to you!!!
