Press a crossing
Record the country, booth or hall, how you crossed, the entry date, optional exit, a photo of the impression, and navy, crimson, or black ink.
Passport ink, as it sits on the page
Smearpage
A passport-page journal for ink that actually landed in your booklet — and then faded.
What the ink keeps
Pinned to the booth wall
Each smear is one border stamp: country, hall, crossing type, dates, photo, and the hue that hit the paper.
Watch the ink fade
Days since entry move a stamp from crisp to smudged, then ghost, then almost unreadable. Trust the clock or override after a re-ink check.
Books and nations
Keep current and retired booklets with issue year. Group stamps by country with no map — just the marks that still sit on the paper.
On the page
How the booklet reads on screen
Time-ordered stamps, a crossing desk for a new press, and the smear page where the fade meter lives.
