    Jon, that's how I order my HP 32# Premium laser printer paper! Love those recycled ink carts...and the rewards.

    Apparently, I need to get on board with the printer cartridge recycling....

    Exactly how many points does Staples give you for recycling printer cartridges?

    They've updated the rules, so check with the Staples Rewards website for accuracy. It's $2 per cartridge w/a limit on 10 per month, among some other things. Worth it, IMHO.

    I do have a question for you all out there,

    Does Iroshizuku Momji have a natural gold sheen to it or am I crazy? I could have very well not flushed my pen properly. If it really does my bank account is about to become a little lighter.

    It is supposed to have sheen, yes. But the sample I got showed none so it may depend on the batch, paper, pen, etc.

    Current pen rotation: way too many!

    Yep, it does. It's not as pronounced as Sargasso Sea or PR Electric Blue, but it's definitely there.

    Expensive. Nice bottles. Intense colours. Generally well behaved, most are moderately wet with plenty of lubrication. They're good inks, but only you can decide if they're worth their price to you.

    I just went through this thread and I'm surprised that there are no pictures. I plan to correct that.

    This week I received my first bottles of Iroshizuku inks. I'm completely impressed and while dropping this kind of cash on them was a tough decision I will say that it will be much easier next time now that I see just how much quality is here.
