Thanks for you observations and for the link the the pen website. Sharpie Indusrial fine tip sounds like the winner so far.
Although co-molding a metal lens code stencil into the plastic M-Coder handle sure sounds nifty, my apraisal of the idea is this:
Functionally there would not be no improvement
It would force the cost of production up by 4 to 5 times
The molding operation would be more complex and bring along a higher rejection rate
The stencil material would have to be stainless, so there would need to be a stamping press mold, or laser cut operation to form the stencil
These complexities are eliminated if the part is properly molded in ABS.
My next M-Coder test shot should meet the standard. I will post photos in a few days showing the improvements
