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.

I saw someone that wrote that if the mezuzah case is very simple, so therefore it offers only shmira and no kavod, it does not need geniza. If the mezuzah case is nice so that it offers kavod to the mezuzah it would need genizah (as mentioned even if the mezuzah klaf was already wrapped with plastic).
