So my wallet does NOT thank you

 

If it's any comfort to you, you can rest assured that my own wallet is also now glowering at me for restoring the pics to this thread, and visvamitra's pictures of it to his review from 2014 :doh::D

Quick update:

After restoring this review and visvamitra's review of this ink from 2014, I have now found a review by visvamitra from 2017 (how stupid do I feel now? :D).

And, judging by that 2017 review, it looks as though the ink may indeed have been reformulated...

 

 

So, might @inkstainedruth's wallet be able to breathe a sigh a relief...?

Yes, @Mercian, that was also my impression. Among these two older threads, the one from Sandy1 looks closer to what I get from my 2021 Alt-Bordeaux bottle.

And yes, the ink in the 2017 visvamitra thread seems to be almost exactly what I have now.

 

Thank you for doing this amazing archive work! :thumbup:

One life!

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
