What kind of ink were you using? I've had a devil's time locating ink that is solid (not streaky) and does not devour my nostrils with unholy stench.
I think I may have been using about three different inks at the time!
The one I use most is Winsor & Newton's Indian ink, which I dilute with about half its quantity of boiled water (cooled, of course), or use distilled water if you can get it. This reduces the shine and improves the flow. For a really dark, matte black, Higgins Black Magic is also good.
Thanks for letting me know on the ink. I had some trouble with Windsor and Newton's due to shine and flow - that's a good trick!
I'll give Higgin's a try next time!
Please purchase the book, too.
Seriously, I wish I could buy the book.
