Upholstery vinyl is known to have problems with pen. It is also known to have issues with blue jeans transferring dye. That is in addition to having problems with the red in tomatoes, jelly, and other famous strainers. This is especially a problem with white and lighter colored vinyl. There are several manufacturers that have come out with a solution. The one that we recommend is Naugahyde Spirit Supreme.
