Scor-Pal®*

Bullet tip markers (*Tombow)

*Not all markers are the same, I tried a few other brands but the bullet tip was not firm enough. 

Step 1:
Line up your paper in the same way you would if you were going to use the bone folder with the Scor-Pal® but use the bullet tip of a marker instead.

Step 2
Place the tip of the marker into the top wall at the line you want to score and then bring it down to about a 10-15 degree angle (close to the paper).  You do not want to use too much pressure but it will leave a small ridge on the wrong side of the paper.

Step 3
Don't let the marker sit on the paper or you will get a blob of ink ... move it quickly down the paper to the end.  If you marker up your Scor-Pal® then wipe it off with a damp cloth.  You may need to practice until you get the pressure and speed you need. A little tip earned is to score with the markers on a larger piece than you need and then cut down the edges if they have blob of ink on them.
