I think sharpies would dry far too quickly for that. It's just a shame about
not being able to stamp... unless I was to use paint or something. The
problem I see is that anything that would melt a plastic coating on a card
would probably not be good for rubber.

I'm going to let this batch of tests sit a while longer (until this evening)
to see if the pens settle better. The permanent nature of the ink is
probably a problem in this case as they're designed to be non-reactive
acid-free etc so they probably cannot dissolve the coating. I still have
hopes though that perhaps the face side of the cards are better for writing
than the "back" side (I don't know actually which I tested on earlier)
