How Do You Display Your Inks?

[WLSpec]

If only I even displayed them - mine are just kept in a couple drawers. Wonderful pictures.. I'm inspired by the Diamines!

I think it is. I can't find any markings on it. I paid a mere $400 for it and I love it.

I'm always super impress with your Noodlers collection, I need to update my display got more Noodlers Inks and Fountain Pens. Love that ink!!!!

 

 

I use them as conversations starters. Monkeys Hanger is a terrific jumping off point to discuss criminal law.

Folks display inks?

Love those desks. Always keep an eye out for one.

The last person I gave ink to, teaches criminal justice at UNLV. He was appalled that they hung the Monkey.

First, I don't know how I never posted here, but I have posted the picture elsewhere.

Second, I feel better about how much ink I have. Many of you put my collection to shame.

I have since added around 30 bottles to my collection but I have them elsewhere in a drawer while I figure out how to add to the wall.

Wow, that's a nice display!

Thanks guys.

Any time I feel weird for what I have all I need to do is sign on here and always find someone else with more haha

Mine live here.

[amberleadavis]

Jimothy, that looks great.

I don't. I keep my inks in a fairly small cardboard box, along with pens that don't get rotated in very often, tools, and parts. I get it out once or twice a month to top up the vials of ink in current use.

These are some seriously impressive displays.

 

I came here for inspiration (mine are stored in a drawer) but with my bookcase filled with other things I collect (from anything mouse related, to ww2 militaria, 2 and a half shelves of shot glasses, 3 shelves of antiques and bottles) I am rapidly running out of room. I don't have room for another bookcase in my bedroom either so I may need to move some of the collections into my study, or move the ink into my study. Hmm..

I'd guess that your ink mostly gets used in your study, which would make it the obvious choice for where to keep it.

I don’t leave any of my inks out. Keep them in their boxes (stack better) and away from the light. The ones that I’m likely to use are in cabinet drawers. The others are in shoe boxes on the floor of my closet.

I agree with Old Salt - inks are for use rather than display. The bottom the wardrobe is a good storage spot away from light, pets and people who borrow things.

On Sunday, it will be on top of this desk.

I don't worry about the light a conducted a bunch of fade tests on inks in the bottle. The inks in the bottle were fine. The inks on the papers are goners.

You surely aren't implying that I don't use my inks? The inks that are "on display" are the easiest to find, reach and pick. Not only do I use hundreds of different inks each yearn (and that's not an exaggeration, check the link), but I use the display as a conversation starter and I choose inks for my guests.

 

For me, it is the inks in the cupboard behind my desk that I not remember to pull out and use.
