I went to get my PA hunting license today and I had to sign it. I always keep my Sailor 1911 Realo with a zoom nib (Noodler's X-feather ink) handy, but I couldn't use it for this. For the last few years the licenses are printed on a shiny plastic. At the signature line it has "Document Holder must sign with ballpoint pen"... I took a deep breath... held my nose, and used the community Walmart ballpoint pen. I went straight to the restroom and washed my hands. I felt so dirty using that pen, I just needed to get it off my chest.
It got me thinking...
I don't have any cold weather ink. If I want to bring a notebook and pen into the woods, will I have a problem?
I saw that Noodler's has a black, blue, brown, and green. Do Any other brands have some?
How cold is to cold for regular inks?
From what I understand ink is mostly water, so freezing would be 32 deg ( F ) or 0 deg ( C ), but that isn't always true depending on the rest of the ingredents, right?
Do freeze resistant inks clean out of your pens the same as regular ink?
I know it is a bit hot out to start thinking about snow, but I have to order ink and pens when the wife allows. LOL. It would be really "cool" if you could share any info or experiences.
Thanks
