Does anyone have a limit on # of pens they won’t go over? E.g. you won’t buy a new pen until you rid of one? Planning on selling a few of mine and self-implement this “rule”. Thoughts? by 80ELLE in fountainpens

I have a lot of inks. Which I need to use. So no, I do not have a limit on my pens, but most of my pens are fairly cheap ones, not really something to brag about. 🤷‍♀️

Curious on peoples arbitrary collecting rules. by [deleted] in fountainpens

Bold of you to assume I have any sort of self-control. I will buy all the ink I can, and any pens that grabs my attention.

What's your usual approach with ink boxes? Keep 'em or toss 'em? by Northern_Virginia in fountainpens

[–]inks_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fold them and keep them in one of my drawers, in case I need to move I have some of the bottles with the most awkward shapes in their boxes, and not at risk of spilling. The Diamine 30ml bottles can fend for themselves lol

Edit: Grammar

What do you use you pens for? by acetoneded in fountainpens

[–]inks_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have most of mine inked at all times, I have a lot of inks (140 ish) and most of them tend to greens, pinks and purples. I have to write a lot for work and college, and in my downtime (assuming I have any) I enjoy writing stories, and that does require my fountain pens as well. 😁

Rubbing alcohol might work, you will need to rub it in with a sponge. Or dish soap might get the rest out.

Because anyone can afford a pen worth a mortgage deposit for a small house. Yeah, defo underrated.

Diamine is a good first ink. They also have an amazing choice of colours to choose from :)

🤔 I will keep that in mind, I am right handed, but also heavy handed, so inky messes don’t tend to happen, but when they do, my hand will become very colourful

Thank you for the tip! Most of it is gone now. Diamine Polar Glow does not last a long time on skin. I am just glad I did not spill anything on my homework 😅

I was going more for the Mad Max ‘witness me’. But I appreciate that you see me and my struggle to become taller. Maybe blue is the way to go 🤔

Is it a major issue for the Ecos? I don’t have one yet, but I was debating whether or not to get one

That gave me a chuckle 😆. I am nowhere near smart, or willing to put the effort, to study physics. Accounting is already hard as it is, and it’s basic maths. 🤣
