Lettering Bow ?

I'm lettering my trade bow and having trouble with the ink not sticking well. I have several coats of lacquer on the bow and it just doesn't want to go down nice and bold....the ink that is. I'm using the archival ink pens. I think on bare wood they would be fine but they don't really stick to the finish well. Do you guys sand the surface where you want to letter the bow a little?

Wipe the area where you want to letter on with alcohol. Write on, let dry, and make a final coat over all.

Sign after staining, then seal the bow.
Then its there forever.
