Awesome!!!!.... For anyone who ever says "YOU HAVE TOO MUCH INK".. the answers now is... "I only have enough to support the International Ink Library on its investigative and research purposes"

 

 

Of course.. once they go digital, I won't have such a good excuse... :lol:

I liked the article. If this is a "Library", how do I go about checking some ink out. I'm a taxpayer after all.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

I wonder if they have the slightly harder to get inks like KWZI or the others.

 

 

I am sure it doesn't have every ink out there. I am thinking Abraxas, Rubinato, Hero, Camlin, Toucan.. etc.

Since Noodler inks are seldom quite the same from run to run, I wonder how much effort they have to go to? Keeping up with Nathan Tardif might be a problem.

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

So we've had Noodlers bulletproof. Will the next version be spookproof? :ninja:

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Miss Amber are you thinking about a little "moon lighting" with Gov'mt work? You could always offer your services as a "consultant." They might not understand about the "ink powders!" And I would be interested if they use White Rabbit, Cool Japan or merely "search & seizure?"

ROFL - I would love to do so. I am not, however, the largest holder of inks, I'm only the most showy.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
