I seem to remember that, with bare metal die cast Eddystone boxes, the ink flowed better and gave better definition if we applied some ink to the area first and then wiped it off. If we did that, the ink stayed put. If we tried applying to bare metal, it tended to pull back due to surface tension. We discovered this as a consequence of making amendements.
