Bulletproof (UV resistant, bleach resistant, etc.) = Yes Eternal (Archival, fade-resistant) = Yes Forgery-Resistant (Impervious to lasers, alcohols, solvents, ideal for security documents) = Yes Water-Resistant (waterproof) = Yes Fluorescent (Glows under UV light) = No Lubricated (Lubricated inks for piston mechanism) = No Freeze-Resistant (Resists freezing at extreme low temperatures) = No Having met the Senator Elect some time ago and knowing how incredibly frustrating it is for any challenger in a Massachusetts election to win or even be given a chance by the pundits (you see, Massachusetts senate elections were – until recently – all quite pre-determined affairs having little to do with any democratic contest)….and having seen many a race without so much as a challenger on the ballot from the almost nonexistent alternative party from that of the modern Massachusetts Monarchy….I’m pleased to introduce #41 Brown. The spirit of the most rebellious and combative of the original thirteen colonies – the colony willing to go to arms and pay even the ultimate price for liberty before all others…came to the polls this January and openly rebelled against the establishment. The label artwork has three live models – catfish from the Senator’s home town that have a thing or two to say about this revival of a competitive democratic process. The Senator’s name is, after all – irresistible to a fellow who makes ink! The color is an extremely dark and deep sepia brown – with a hint of golden sunset shading when used with italic nibs. It is NOT a Warden’s ink – though it IS archival/bulletproof/eternal /pH neutral (it has not yet been tested for laser alteration – though a similar ink did pass that test). In the spirit of the democratic process – the costs are kept to the razors edge so that the most people possible can see it as an extremely competitive price when taking into account its properties and durability.
