Moving Mixture To A Larger Bottle


Charles Skinner

Recommended Posts

I am new to "ink mixing." So far have three that are worth saving and using, and two which were "pour outs!" Now, one of the "keepers" is so good, I am considering making a much large "batch" of it, and filling a regular empty ink bottle up with it, to about half full. Have you ever does this? Is it something that you suggest doing?

When I made my copy of Pen & Message Cigar, I made enough of it to half fill a 30ml bottle. I now have several part full bottles of home made inks. Please remember to label them though. :)

Yes. As soon as I find a mixture I really like, I mix up a larger batch of it and use one of my empty ink bottles to put it in. I use my old Quink bottles and don't skimp on the ingredients. That's one reason it's so important to take good notes when you're mixing.

Yes, I did that when I was finally happy with FPS #9.

I was lucky to have an empty Parker Penman bottle, so there was no question about which bottle to use.

      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
