Noodlers ink btw.

Doing more writing by hand lately and was looking at some new ink. Now I’ve got to find other achivist ink cause I’m sure as hell not giving money to someone who dogwhistles about “western civilisation” and brands with that racist’s flag from the usa.

Sigh. I just liked the green.

      Ah, that could be a problem. Maybe use for a while in a sacrifice pen to see? I have some cheap Jin Haos that are actuality pretty good pens (thank you China), but if they get fucked up I’m not gonna feel too bad spending like $5 on another vs much more expensive pens

        I’m confident I could clean the pen out, it’s more that I want my pen to “just work”. Like if I get it out of a drawer for the first time in a month and it’s clogged and needs a clean that makes the ink not suitable for being a pen ink, as that is a typical way a pen might be used.

        Inks are expensive enough I’ll probably just find some reliable option. I’m just very annoyed, hunter green is a very nice green with good properties. Rarely clogged, flowed well, solid coverage but a fast dry, cleans off skin and plastic with just water but stains pages.

        Couldn’t he have just been regular unpleasant and not a complete lunatic? I mean slavery… really? really? It’s fucking slavery mate.

          That’s fair. I will say, three biggest factor for that isn’t going to be ink it’s going to be how well the pen’s cap seals. Same ink same conditions, different pens will dry out at very different rates.
