Q on using an inkwell

[68camaro]

Hello all, I have a question about nuances of using an ink well with FP? Does anyone do it, are there any tips?

I normally use two black inked FP's at work, however some documents require my signature in "blue ink". Since it is rare, only a few times a month at most, I was thinking of getting a dedicated FP to dip into blue ink, use it to sign signature, quick rinse and put away until next time.

Because of infrequency of needing blue ink I didn't want pen nib drying out between uses with cartrigde or full piston type.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

You can certainly dip any FP and use it then rinse and put it away. Happens all the time.

I have a collection of inkwells that I have put together over the years, but do not use them as they are just a collection.

I would just get a bottle of your favorite blue ink and do as you intended.

Great idea, never crossed my mind. I would think the blue would mix with whats in the pen nib though, but I'll give it a whirl.

Thanks!
