I just discovered this bottle in its original box.... it is the 32 oz bottle with the plastic pouring nib top.. it does not smell bad...
As far as I can measure the inside is 3 inches in diameter...and the ink is at least to the 1.5 inch mark inside the bottle....
I am sure someone can tell me how many ounces of ink this is.... and I would really appreciate it....Thanks, Greg

Firstly, this thread should probably go in Inky Thoughts, not Ink Reviews, so hopefully a helpful moderator/administrator will move it.

Assuming your bottle is cylindrical internally, the volume of a cylinder comes from the formula V = pi x radius squared x height.
So, your remaining ink is pi * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5, or about 10.6 cubic inches, unless I've done something silly, which is not impossible.
Putting this query into Google - "10.6 cubic inches in ounces" - gives a little under 5.9 US fluid ounces.

Now, to get back on topic, when will we see a review of this ink? Maybe with a test of its washability?

Regards, Myles.

I reviewed it !!! I said ' it does not smell bad ".....
LOL
I realized it was probably misplaced after I had posted it... I was only thinking of where to find someone who was most likely to know the answer...
Thank you for the answer....
I don't know that I have enough experience ( only having been in this hobby about three weeks....) but I think I will offer it up on the marketplace and hope that person will do the review...
Thanks again, Greg
