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?

I believe it was called Tzorchei ST"aM, but I do not have their contact info on hand. They are also the only place in America that I have seen that carries Eida giddin. If you don't have time to take a trip to KJ, I know of a chashuve sofer in Manhattan who for years has been having them ship him giddin, etc.
