== Ink Color Preference ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' All right. Evan Max again asks, do you have ink colors that you prefer how they look when they're wet over when they're dry? Personally, I love the shade of the purple that the Ackerman Park Pop Purple goes down on the page, but I find it kind of boring after it dries.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that's a thing. And I get it. It tends to happen with some of the bright blues that I like, right? Because they're super bright when they're still wet on the page. And then they kind of get muted a little bit. Nothing that's caused me to say, oh, well, I can't use this ink anymore. But that's definitely just like the sounds of nibs on a page. You know, trying to get a real representation of what ink looks like when you're writing with a specific nib and when it's dried on the page is a hard thing, right? So it can be an issue. I don't find it to be a deal breaker for me. At least I haven't seen that yet in any inks that I've used.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Chris Ball asks, does Maraman make a standard A5 notebook without the ring binding? I love their paper, but just want a regular sewn or glued binding.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, they do a staple bound top staple bound A5 notebook. Did I say, did I get all that out? Yes. They don't do a lot of them, but they do a top bound staple one that is actually really enjoyable. I forget the specific name of it. It has a little bit. I think it might have a different name than some of the other ones. But it is available.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Are we going to answer this next question?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' There is no answer, so we can ask it. I don't know the answer.

'''Myke Hurley:''' How is the Urushi Lami Safari coming along?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I have no idea. Yep. You don't ask the magician what their secrets are.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep. We wait until it's delivered. Yep. And MHKid asks, are either of you going to be at a Pelican Hub on Friday?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Got a little something else going on this Friday.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Bit busy. It's from 4 to 10 p.m. Eastern. At twitch.tv slash RelayFM. We will be doing the podcast of farm for St. Jude. Make sure you tune in. Please do. And again, stjude.org slash penaddict is the way to give money to St. Jude. And thank you to everybody that has done that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But everyone going to a Pelican Hub, let me hear all about it. Send me an email. Send me a note on Twitter. Tag me in your Instagram photos. It is Friday in your city, anywhere around the world. You know, hopefully you've done your homework by now. We have a lot of Hubmasters in our chat and in our community that are putting on these events. Out of the kindness of their hearts, Pelican does a great job at supporting and supplying materials for all of these events. And it's just a great all-around get-together. So y'all have fun Friday night celebrating all the Pelican and Fountain Pen awesomeness you can get into.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Thank you so much to everybody that has sent in an Ask TPA question. You can tweet out with the hashtag AskTPA for those. Or you can email hello at penaddict.com. And there are ways to get your questions for future consideration on the show. Thank you so much to everybody that has done that.

I am iMike, I-M-Y-K-E, and we hope to see some of you in the chat on Friday for the podcast-a-thon. Until then, say goodbye, Brad. Goodbye, Brad.
