Hey Lidia! Question: Re: The Colorverse Morningstar; I've had someone ask me what to do when he gets a decent ink that has a long drying time (Noddler's Purple Mountain Majesties and Dragon's Napalm). Can you offer some tips? Is there a better way to write? Is there a preferred paper? Does he need to tool the nib to a drier writer?

Hey Drew! I bought several ink samplers from you guys. After knocking one over and losing all the ink, and having bought one of your empty j. herbin ink bottles, I discovered that the sample vial fits in the empty bottle to keep me from knocking it over.

Loving it that fellow lefty Lydia is heading this up! :-)

The word inksploration makes me think you guys should do some kind of subscription service to receive small bottles or samples of various inks to try new stuff and have it line up with what you guys are using for this.

I'm fairly new to pens and ink so I am excited to see how all the inks I am buying can be used other than letter writing. I love inks so I'm really looking forward to seeing this. Thanks! :-)

I'm interested in the idea and I'd like to see where this goes, but I wonder if perhaps one month is too much. I liked the fact that monday match ups showed inks I had never tried (most of the time) and that I could discover. One ink per month seems a bit too much. We'll have to wait and see though

I'd love to have a themed episode please, featuring at least 2 inks. It's much more fun to watch if an ink is compared to others in the same color family or the same brand or the same special characteristic. Maybe talk about the history of the ink too if that's applicable. Gives the inks you're featuring more character. Thank you and good luck with this new venture!

Awesome! I'm more about the inks than the pens :)

[denniskirschbaum]

VERY Cool! But I wish you had called it “Inksploitation!”

Are we sure this is not an April fools joke... I take nothing seriously today
