All the main companies make them: e.g. Staedtler, Faber-Castell, 
Fellowes...  I even found a Pilot brand fine point at Coles today. :)

However, so far I've only found Staedtler in Medium/Black and, while 
good for short titles etc., it's too thick to write much detail.

A black Faber-Castell gets thrown in with some CDR packs here.  It's 
Fine/Black, and quite useful, though the "nib" seems a bit hard to me, 
so you need to be rather careful with it IMO.

Fellowes make a Fine point is a set of four colours (so does some 
other mob whose name escapes me).  They're quite good, but if you want 
colour for emphasis it would be better to have a Medium point.

The only fairly generic warning I've seen in the fine print on CDR 
packs is to avoid alcohol-based pens.


Cheers, Phred.
