I like to use waterproof speedball calligraphy ink. I have the students
paint it all over the surface with a brush, then, while it's still wet, they
gently rub with a paper towel until they get the effect they want (anywhere
from gray with black in the recessed areas, to polished silver with black in
recessed areas). It is very easy to rub off when wet, and stays put when
dry.
