Abstract: A covert-print marking apparatus creates a unique marking system and method of using a casing or housing with a working-end and a non-working-end, a source or ink or other marking substance situated in the casing and a point having a covert-printing element on a outer surface of the casing. Thus the covert-printing element deposits a covert-printed line or mark with an embedded code formed by the element. The point bearing the covert-printing element is located at the working end of the casing. The marking element is a movable member that is able to rotate when moved along a surface, and the point is in fluid flow communication with the source of ink or other marking substance, chemical or element.
