Hopefully a unique Quilt label question
aha! I had no idea.. just figured they used plain ink.. thanks for the info!
Dragonfly wrote: The "regular ink" signatures that have lasted were written with india ink, which is (I think) a pigment ink. I'd think any pigment ink would be as permanent...and the Pigma pens are pigment ink. Dragonfly "Dr. Quilter" wrote in message ... have you seen those antique quilts with signtures in regular ink that are still hanging around 100 years later? I imagine the inks must have gotten better, not worse... at least that is what the scientists are supposed to be doing, right, making them fabric specific and permanent.. then of course on the other hand we might use harsher detergents now.. or not.. somebody was telling me the other day that I should not aplique with silk because it will be gone in 30 years... 30 years... who cares? I might be dead in 30 years.... I worry about too many things as it is (my career, my parents' future back home, having enough money, having a kid!, etc), I figure quilting should not be one of them! rjwhite6 wrote: We know that we should put quilt labels on for posterity. The question is longevity of the label. Permanent pens aren't REALLY permanent are they? I mean for decades? -- Dr. Quilter Ambassador of Extraordinary Aliens |
