What could be so important to prompt a mid-week update? This is record the fact that I have just taken delivery of two more bottles of ink taking me up to a grand total of 200. The 100th bottle barrier passed without me even noticing, but it probably happened when I received either the Diamine Music or the Flower set.
I am almost ready to put my full ink inventory online. That will probably happen at the weekend. In the meantime here is a summary of the number of bottled inks I have by manufacturer.

I can’t get the numbers in the count column to right align as they should, but at least there’s some proof that I’m not completely obsessed with Noodler’s inks. Just as well that I don’t consider that counting each of the bottles from the Diamine sets constitutes cheating. I need to get some Diamine ink reviews done – fortunately they will be the subject of the next batch.
@terryfinney congrats on 200. I passed 250 the other day. Yes I too count each of the flower and music inks individually. 🙂
@terryfinney Yes I have stopped buying till my latest purchases all enter rotation.
@nibandink can’t go cold turkey but the purchasing pace will definitely slow. At least that’s what I keep telling myself.
