..... (plastic waste's a minor concern with me --- since i only empty one bottle every six to ten years, i'm not going to worry overmuch whether it's plastic or glass.)

Yikes! You either dip into a lot of different bottles, or you don't use it much

i write very little, and i seem to be using extremely frugal pens for some reason.

I write quite a lot and gore thru ink similarly slowly. I treasure frugal pens. If I need a paintbrush, I have those, too. :-)

 

Both actual and metaphoric paint brushes

does anyone know where I can buy a 32 oz bottle of Noodler's ink? My regular supplier retailer said they cannot order one for me.

someone posted a picture of large labeled bottles on one of these threads, but I can't remember who or where. It was quite recently. That person's suggestion was "contact retailers" but did not offer one specifically.

Just curious, but why would you want a quart of ink?

 

Nothing at all special about the bottle. The picture is on page 3 of this thread. The poster knows how to get the ink if you really want/need it.

There are some colors I really like, and it would be nice to have a large supply.

83 years worth??? If it were me, after the first decade of use, I'd get good and sick of whatever color I liked.

For writing and drawing purposes I'd be happy to have lifetime supplies of both blue and black inks. Seems there are lots of ppl who can't bear going more than a few days without changing inks..

I honestly want a big supply of a nice blue-black as well. I can use that color the rest of my life and not get bored

I think of my FPs as my children.

I've been using blue-black ink since the age of eight and never tire of it. It's still my favourite colour. I hope to live long enough to use 83 years of it! :D

Many, many years ago a friend of mine did a favour for one of his friends. In thanks, he was asked if he would like a box of port. Thinking he was being offered a card board box of 12 bottles, he was very pleased to say yes. They went out to the garage and he found he was being offered a pallet of boxes of quality tawny port. It took him nearly 30 years to go through it. I was honoured to help him finish the last bottle.

Oh great. More waste plastic to float around in the ocean and pollute the planet.

Not if you properly recycle 'em.

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

      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

      @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
