Alternatives to Stoplight Pen RIP


Now that Audio Prism--makers of the CD Stoplight Pen--have gone out of business, I'm wondering if I can substitute any green, permanent magic marker. Will black work as well as green? Should I apply it only to the edges or to parts of the surfaces?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Seems to me that I read, several years ago, that Audio Prism did not actually manufacture this pen. I believe it was a marker of European origin and available at some art supply stores (probably for $1.19). Any 'Goners remember this?
the difference between the cd stoplight and the art store markers is that the "paint is completely different and the nib on the audioprism pen has a notch to make for a neat application rather than getting it on the face of the disc.

just my experience
Is the Auric Illuminator pen any good? I was thinking of trying out the Mikro-smooth + Auric + Ionoclast combo to see if it is any better than the Mikro-smooth + Optrix + Ionoclast combo I have been using.

"Auric Illuminator pen any good?"- The pen in the latest version of Auric is very, as is their new gel.
