I was looking for this photo. I love this collection. I have aspirations (delusions).

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

Identifying the inks from this angle can sometimes be problematic.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

Oh, now I understand why I think that my 48 inks are too few.

Exactly, I have ink envy.

Now I'm jealous!!!!! Just a couple of those rows of ink would satisfy my deepest need. Let's see...1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,30,40,50....sounds good to me.

This is what it looks like today, 79 bottles. I am waiting for Iro Tsutsuji and Herbin Stormy Grey to arrive. I have to put some boxes on top of each other now so you can't see all, but there is no way around it.

I need 2 more Iro colors - Kosumosu and Tsukushi, and I will have the complete range. My collection will be more or less complete... (Yeah, right:))

Maybe a newb question,but I was under the impression that light exposure degraded ink in some way. Any concerns of having ink on display out in the open?

The usual wisdom here is that, exposed to light for years, inks will change. Many of us keep them in a drawer or their original boxes to try and prevent that. Cabinets with doors would work too.

NO NO NO

 

I've done a year long test with inks in a window. NONE OF THEM FADED when in the bottles. Once they were on paper, totally different story.

Did they fade faster than before when on paper?

I doubt it.

 

Testing that will take more time.

Oh, yes, your box of ink is a sight to behold! It inspired me to order the iro tsutsuji :)

 

Very nice, Morwen! I just got a Big Box of Ink and haven't figured out where they go yet. We may be moving soon, so I may live with it in the box till that's sorted.

Look! Facts! Empirical evidence! UNPOSSIBLE!

 

So, okay, that's wrong. Amberlea tested it, and she knows fading. So, it's wrong. Yay!

:) Thank you!

 

It's actually not intuitive. The chemistry would sugggest that the inks should fade in the bottle. The evidence shows differently.

 

Now, some inks disintegrate over time independent of light or heat. Yes, Pelikan we are talking about you.

I don't know about fading, but I know about mold. I found that I accidentally left some inks out of their boxes (I doubt that part made a difference) in an area that was near a heating vent. For a long time. I had no idea the hot air went that direction. I had to throw out all the inks except one because under the constantly warm conditions, they all grew gross stringy mold.

      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
