Hey FPN! I've been pondering over ink choices lately, and I'm curious about your approach. Do any of you adhere to specific rules when it comes to selecting ink colors? Personally, I find that using only one unique color each year paired with black helps maintain a sense of coherence in my writing, preventing it from becoming a colorful mishmash. Plus, it's a neat trick – instantly knowing a piece of writing is from a particular year based on its ink color! But that's not all – sticking to this rule also prevents me from falling into the trap of buying too much ink and collecting more than I'll ever use. It's a practical way to avoid wastefulness and ensure that every drop of ink is put to good use. Do you have similar strategies to keep your writing aesthetically pleasing and organized? Perhaps you have rules regarding ink shades or combinations to maintain consistency in your notes or correspondence, while also curbing the temptation to amass too much ink? Whether it's sticking to a limited color palette or other guidelines, I'm eager to hear about your ink habits and any tips you have for ink selection! Let's discuss and share our ink wisdom!

Does anyone else feel that the company's pens have degraded in terms of aesthetics and beauty? To me, its most beautiful models are/were Voyager, Wall Street and Ragtime, and the newer ones appear flashy, tacky and severely lacking in aesthetics. I know this is highly subjective, but would like to hear your opinions.
