[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 533503, member: 1365"] It is also my understanding that most, if not all, “permanent” inks bind to cellulose...thus becoming permanent. There are also inks that are a dye in nature & I don’t know if that’s the same thing going on. Having SO MANY INKS with varying properties is to me one of the most fun and important aspects of fountain pens. Permanent inks are very important in terms of legal signatures being accident and forgery proof...and as a media for artistic applications. For legal purposes inks also should be “bullet proof”. This adds the ability to be proof against both alcohol and bleaching. Of course, inks being either permanent or not is a sliding scale. Some inks totally disappear with the least hint of a splash...all the way to not changing in the least even if submerged for days. So, say that that represents a scale of water proofness from 1 to 10. I don’t know how many inks fall where on a scale like that, but they’re all over the place. [/QUOTE]
