marking up dark tiles with pencil

[john1971]

I'm laying dark slate effect laminate tiles (400 x 400)

When I'm marking up the tiles in preperation for cutting the pencil marks are very difficult to see.

So I've been putting pieces of masking tape on the tile and then making the pencil marks on the tape.

Any alternatives to pencil and masking tape?

Thanks

Will the tiles no mark when scratched with another peice of tile in the same way that genuine slate does?

Chalk pencil - didn't even know they existed! Brilliant solution.
