Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?
The forum is back online...for reference and research purposes.

Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
I got one recently (ordered the Dolphin 2 from Amazon, about 160 shekel to Israel including shipping, bit took almost a month to get here). Amazing. Really, don't even hesitate. Make sure to get refills. The tips wear out pretty fast.
ReplyDeleteOne tip - If you order one that comes with white and grey tips, use the grey tips. The white ones are regular pencil erasers and won't do you any good (except to erase pencil marks).
I used to use them with very fine sandpaper rolled inside with mostly good results.
ReplyDeleteI use an old Staedtler electric eraser with (now discontinued) Sanford ink eraser strips. It works well, but you have to be very careful or it will burn a hole in the klaf.
