When doing this previously I would mark out the tile for cutting using whatever was at hand but mostly the line for cutting would wash off when using a wet tile cutter. What is best way to mark (a line) and with what? so it doesnt wash off easily.
Permanent Marker. You can buy them in WHS - Staedler or Sharpie with sharp points. Permanent is a slight misnomer - the ink can be removed using an alcohol based solvent - Meths or if you don't have any, Gin or Vodka :-)

Chinagraph pencil. Quite hard to find.
Chinagraph pemcil. And it comes of easily when you want it to.
Suppose they might well be now. I've still got a stock from my tape editing days. ;-)
Ok thanks just ordered one on ebay for £1.95 (red) that should allow marking for both white and black tiles.
Argh, a Job I hated. In the end I used a very sharp pointy thing as this seemed to make less mess at the edges when cutting them. Horrible to see though, I was losing my sight at the time! Brian
I used a Sharpie pen.
Nice to see Ms Wax has her own crayon ;-)
A bog standard pencil worked for me when I tiled a kitchen, utility room, storage room, bathroom, toilet and shower room.
