Journaling And Adding Photographs


Studio97

Recommended Posts

In many of my older journals i have pasted in photographs which seem to have survived fairly well. I never have photo surfaces against each other lest they stick together. But with all the new hybrid inks available today has anyone ever had ink transfer to your photographs on the opposite page? Im not all that familiar with the current photo paper and its ability to resist various inks that would be pressed against them from the opposite page. I usually have glossy prints made at the lab. Anyone have any thoughts on this or experience problems?

The adhesive you are using is probably far more risky than the ink on facing pages. If your photos are precious to you, glue a cover sheet onto the page. If your photos are interesting but otherwise insignificant, don't write on the facing page.

I ride a recumbent, I play go, I use Macintosh so of course I use a fountain pen.

I use an acid free adhesive and did decide to cut small pieces of acid free art paper to help protect the photos. Some of them are special to me in my recent journaling: a Palestinian refugee working to improve human rights and to stop the violence.

Hi,

Kindly consider archival transparent photo corners to mount the photo. That way the photo can be easily removed for scanning / moving to another journal etc.

Acid and lignin free tissue paper can be used to cover / protect the photo.

Alt: If your journal paper is acid- lignin-free, just leave a blank page / cut a page from the back of the journal, then tip-in.

(Barrier paper is another option, but is quite thick.)

Wiki 'tip-in' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped-in_page

The protective paper can be tipped-in with archival mounting tape, and if there is inky offset is easily replaced.

While I an reluctant to plump a Vendor, except for barrier paper, all those items can be found at the B&H Photo site, so shipping cost can be minimised. Also check with your local scrapbooking clubs / suppliers.

As for the photo itself, I would be tempted to make a good scan, then store it in a Cloud - remember to ID the scan filename in your journal.

Bye,

S1

      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
