My phase two of my Ink 100 destash project is not going AT ALL according to plan. I needed to pull swatches for every color ink I own from my numerous Col-o-rings and sort them by color in an effort to streamline the sorting process. This was a slow process which required pulling ink out…
For some absurd reason I got it in my head that I’d like to pare down my ink collection to 100 bottles or fewer. This random number, 100, seems like more ink that I could ever use in my lifetime or need, right? Thinking about the ROYGBIV (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet)…
