@distel idk, Wikipedia mentions alcohol-based inks once and never again
@noiob ah wow I never heard of those!
@distel sounds like it'd smell pretty bad while writing
@noiob oooh I want to read this stuff :) but I'm too distracted right now lol
thanks for the link anyway!
@distel hm, the page Wikipedia's quoting is cautioning against mixing inks willy-nilly because it "sometime causes problems with a reaction between the various chemicals etc". https://web.archive.org/web/20140407091022/http://www.marcuslink.com/pens/ink/index.html
Wikipedia quotes it but talks about ph changes changing the color in unexpected ways and particles going out of solution when the solvent concentration changes
@noiob I think in fountain pens there's only waterbased.. ah, maybe you mean the waterproof inks that are now available? that makes sense not to mix them with the others!
