    צריך לראות את זה בגודל אמיתי
    כאן הוא מוגדל הרבה. אני מנחש שבגודל אמיתי הוא ייראה יותר ככ"ף

      Is it able to be fixed and still considered kesidran?

      As i wrote below, if the ekev is noticeable in the actual size then it would likely be pasul and irreparable.

    I agree when enlarged it is a serious problem. I received the shaila from overseas and told him it depended on whether there was a noticeable ekev when looking at it in the actual size.

      I'm inclined to think that at normal size it would look like a chof with a small p'gam in it

Question to Yosef Chaim B

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."

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.
