I have an ongoing project I'm doing for my daughter. My daughter is two years old and I am keeping a journal all about her. I intend to give this journal to her when she is older,like twenties or thirties. This writing will have to stay legible for many years and to this end I am using a notebook with Clairfontain acid free paper.
I am a person who will impulse buy and then read reviews to justify my impulse. In this manner I recently bought a bottle of Parker Quink Blue Black. The review made me happy about my purchase apart from one thing. It seems that Quink Blue Black tends to fade and this would be unacceptable in my journal project.
So my question is would the acid free paper stop the ink from fading? If not could you recommend an ink that will last for the ages?
Would an iron gall ink be necessary,or just a waterproof ink?
Some info about my preferences , I like browns,dark browns and grey ink. Maybe I could grow to love a black ink. If I used a staining ink I would most probably use it exclusively in a pen that can be completely disassembled, like a Noodler's pen.
Thanks for any advice you could give me.
