Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן. Nor are we interested in those who said to use עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is דיו עשן of good quality that does not ...
I am unsure as to the answer to your question however I used your ink (Dyo Lonetzach) to write a kesubah on shiny paper and with handling parts of the ink peeled off almost like it was a rubber coating on the paper.Is this because of the paper or is this normal for the ink? The paper was very shiny.
ReplyDelete1. Shiny paper has a coating on it to make it shiny. Some coatings behave like an oily coatings - nothing can stick to an oily coating, unless the ink soaks into the paper.
ReplyDelete2. Dio lanetzach dries in stages. After initial drying, the adhesion of the (dry) ink to the paper is still not cured. So, it can peel off. It takes a few days of drying to develop full-strength adhesion. Before making strength experiments on the ink I wait 3 weeks for complete drying and curing.
Ok, Thanks for explaining
