If you know what papers are being used to printing, then finding a 'permanent' black ink is the ideal to go with that paper. I will consider to get an ink that dries faster, and a nib that is not very wet ( avoid using a border nib that is too wet ) , so no "fathering or any mishaps to avoid. Could a $1000 or Cheaper $10 pen do the job. Any pens can do the job and Fp are a personal choice. I know many people who signs books use felt-tipped pens which has permanent ink. This is my personal thoughts here. Once I went to a photography exhibition and wanted to get my book autographed by the photographer. He did not have a pen and I had a Mont Blanc 146. I gave it to him and he looked at me and said " Oh this is an expensive pen " - "No I use mine", and he reached for his Felt pen.
