Check with regular watermark fluid. The watermark must show either the "I" or the "R".


Watermark 191 double line USPS


Double line USIR

Hi Russ,

I don't have WM fluid... I have to buy it. I don't like WM... very difficult to see and not easy to identify.

Thank you :)

I use Ronsonol myself and it works well. The big thing is that it must show an identifiable "I" or "R". The U.S. watermarks can be difficult to distinguish.
