Hello Colleagues, I have asked this same question to "LB" Luxury Brands. In the recent weeks while moving my movers damaged my Ink collection tote and over 10-20 bottles of my inks 98% were Noodler's band in the boxes they were received in. I lost labels from the remaining bottles in the cleaning up processes. I was looking to purchase replacement labels to re-apply to the bottles after determining its name. LB told me that this is not possible. My question to the group is LB the distributor to retailers of Nathan's T., inks products. If not could some in the forum give me an email or address to Nathan T so that I may ask my question to him? I have found that only one other brand bottle was lost, this leads me to the question why are Noodler's Ink so breakable when others are not. Thank you for my Fountain Pen colleagues in reading my concern. Randy Allen Dodds (Penster59) randydodds@gmail.com Palm Harbor, FL

I often have four or five different fountain pens inked up and ready to use at any one time, and I kept forgetting what kind of ink was in each pen. Which pen has the blue ink, and which one has the black or brown ink? So I started making paper tag labels to put on the pen clip, identifying what kind of ink is currently in the pen. That has helped a lot, and so I know which pen has the ink color I am looking for at the moment. It also helps with refilling, so that I know which kind of ink was in the pen that needs to be refilled. Some ink manufacturers specifically say on the bottle, "please do not mix different kinds of ink," so, in order to avoid clogging from pigments, or some kind of chemical reaction between different ink formulations, it is safer to know exactly what is in each pen by using a label so I don't have to remember. I wanted to know if other FP users have a different or better system for keeping track of what kind of ink is currently in their fountain pens. I haven't seen any commercially available products to make such labels, either. I just cut a little strip of paper, write the ink brand and color name on it, fold the paper, and tape it closed to make a loop on the pen clip. I usually will write the label using the actual ink that is in the pen, so I know what color it is and what the writing line thickness looks like. Does somebody else have a better idea? Thanks so much for your suggestions.
