OMG, this.

This post on the Ink Smudge blog really hit home with me, and I wanted to share it.

I’m pushing 70 bottles of ink now, probably averaging 40ml per bottle. That’s 2.8 litres of ink. I probably get through — at an incredibly rough and probably optimistic guess — 5ml per week. In other words, nearly 11 years of ink.

Buying smaller bottles would be a wise move for me.

Not buying any more ink would be an even wiser — but less likely — move.

How bout you?

    I’m with you—bring on the 10ml bottles! J. Herbin does make them, but they’re not easy to find.

    I’m still flagellating myself for not having taken advantage of over this offer when it was available – https://www.massdrop.com/buy/j-herbin-10ml-bottled-inks?mode=guest_open
