This might not be the best place to post this, but I couldn't find another place that seemed to fit any better.... 

 

How does everyone track what inks they've used to write to which friends?  I don't want to send people letters with duplicate inks, but haven't found a good way to track it yet, vs just plain notebook paper with their names at the top, so was wondering if anyone had better ideas / files / suggestions / trackers / apps / etc.

Quite literally I never think about this.  I just use what I've inked up, because those are the inks that are catching my attention at that moment in time.  I wouldn't worry too much about it, because the properties of even the same ink can change when you switch nibs, switch pens, switch papers, or even just prime your feed.  Also, I think it's true for most of us that we buy entire bottles of ink rather than just a sample of it because we like it enough to use it more than just once, so I think people will understand an ink-repeat. ;-)

Lol.  Okay.  I think I'm maybe a bit too OCD for that, but I enjoy the encouragement.... 😃

 

I was hoping for something electronic that I could use, like a database, and was thinking of maybe a salesman's app or some sort of employee tracker, but I track it on notebook paper currently in the different colors (lately I've been ordering the inks in rainbow order when I write) so I enjoy that aspect even if it's not electronic.  

 

That does make sense though about the bottle of ink.... If I'm hoping to use each only once per pen pal, then I've got my work cut out for me, esp since I ordered six new bottles payday.... eep.  So Yeah, I think I might relax some on that idea, but I do still like to have a record so I can look back and see what I sent before..... 

 

Thanks for replying!!!!  Food for thought.... 😃

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
