Blood Ink
(Preview)
Literally what the title says. I have already learned how to create Blood ink for printing using freeze-dried blood and oil. However I was wondering if anyone has a recipe for fountain pen ink... I will be trying on my own, however I don't want to take too much blood out of me lol. Anyway to start, I had a Do...

Improve some inks?
(Preview)
I have 3 inks I find boring (and that's really just me, some people might like them, which is valid): Pelikan brown, Pelikan royal blue, and Lamy green. I've improved the green by adding some Waterman black to it. I do this in limited batches. I tried the same thing on the Pelikan inks and they're still bo...

(Preview)
How safe is it to mix different brands of ink to make new colors? From the little I have read, thoughts seem to vary on this subject. I have about 25-26 bottles from several different brands and would like to know if it is pen-safe to mix and use them.

When I got home, and opened the metal cap, the paper seal was still intact over the lip of the bottle! After some personal debat...

Noodler's Coral Sea "Clone"...
(Preview)
I fell in love Coral Sea ink after getting a small sample to try, but seeing that I live in the U.S. and Coral Sea is an "Australian Exclusive" the cost just for S&H is just way too high for me to buy it. It figures I'd fall for an ink that would cost me @ $60+ for 3 oz, including initial cost and s...
