DIY ink storage
I recently shifted to Mumbai, one of the most humid places in India. Living in Central India since the last couple of years, where relative humidity barely crossed 30%, I stored my inks in cardboard boxes lined with thermocol.
Since it started raining cats and dogs here and the humidity has spiked up to 96%, I started reading up about all the problems that it might cause to my inks, especially what people call SITB (Slime in the Bottle). I hate wastage and didn't want to see some of my precious inks turn putrid and unusable.
I am a DIY person and so, I did some reading and came up with a solution of sorts...
I went to the local mart and got home some dessicant, a moderately airtight container, took aluminium foil from the kitchen and used up some old foam sheet lying at home and improvised a bit and made this makeshift safety nest for my inks. It's not perfect, but atleast it'll be better than nothing... Hope it works 🙏🤞🙏🤞
