Hello again,
Yesterday, for me, was mostly spent writing and drawing while trying out a new pen and starting out on the road to getting my handwriting skills restored. I used just over one third of the pen's tank and it got me thinking about ink life.
Not sure if this is run-of-the-mill but I would say I've purchased quite a few inks (twenty eight bottles) so it'll be a good while, maybe several years, before they're put through a pen to paper.
What I even thought about doing was inking up all four of my pens to get at it. But before I panic into doing anything rash I will take you up on the kind offer of help with any questions, and ask the good folk here first!
So, have I been foolish? Will the ink come to any harm or a lesser quality before it is needed? And a final question... Would it be advisable to carefully shake the ink bottle every time before filling?
Thank you,
Mark
