We use pretty much the same things herr in the states as you folks do over there.

I use pencil mostly & use the pencil/score trick as mentioned as well but the best thing I use for wet cuts on dark tile & most stone is a "White-Out pen" as found in office supply houses for covering up mistakes on paper? . Not sure what they may be called in the UK but Presto Ball point makes a version & I believe Bic too?
 
do you mean a tippex pen Cowboy? (what we call them here)

I use ceramic markers from non other than Topps Tiles, they mark all types of tiles and don't come off in the wet cutter.
 
All depends on what tiles i'm using, stone and matt tiles i use pencil, on porcelain or glossy tiles i use felts, i'll have to look in to that ceramic marker from topps and give it a try..Mike:yes:
 
China pencils..no body use them.?..they dont wash off on the wet cutter...
