More New Diamine Packaging - 30Ml Bottles And Cartridges!

I stick labels onto the tops of my caps so I know what ink is in the bottle. You can even get a sheet of Avery silver labels, and write your software so that it prints in lines. Then one sheet lasts for ages depending on how many times you can successfully get it through your printer. :)

Does half an hour count as 'ages'? I wish Diamine would have carried on doing that job for me. I still remember when I had to print labels for some correspondence my ancient parish priest wanted to send to all his parishioners. He asked me for help, but by the time I persuaded him that the envelopes should look much better when addressed in my best handwriting I had spent so much money on labels that buying a marble mausoleum in the church would have been cheaper for me!

 

Anyway, that's a good idea. Only I'll stick to hand-made labels, I think!

​An improvement over the little ink name sticker on the cap, to be sure.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

I'm so glad I missed that packaging entirely, being new to collecting ink bottles. Apart from the drab overall design, which was rather classy in comparison to the crowded current design, the lack of (secured) name and swatch was downright shameful in my opinion. They've been in the business 150+ years and until 2016 people had to put up with those finichy tiny stickers? I received a couple of samples with the stickers on the lids, they came off in a matter of days.

      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
