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?
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." 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?

ReplyDeleteI can purchase locally but they charge per piece and are expensive. There are the standard, cheap ones and twisted ones which last longer. I did ask a batim macher who I know has the twisted ones but he didn't seem interested in selling any to me even though he was about to send me an order and wed me some change, which I offered to accept in needles. In any case, I found both online in bulk and free shipping for a fraction of the local cost.
