Advertising Disclosure

Since 2015, the Federal Trade Commission has had rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are set in place to ensure that readers like you know if an individual or company is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. In plain terms, readers need to know if the link-sharer is making money by sharing a link or product.

In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site: Some of the links on Masgrimes.com are affiliate links from which I receive a small compensation when you use them to purchase a product.

What are affiliate links?

When you click on a link to a product from this website and are able to purchase it on a site like Paper and Ink Arts, your visit to that site is logged as coming from Masgrimes.com via a browser “cookie.” If, during your visit, you decide to purchase said item, I may earn a small portion of your sale in the form of a commission.

Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. It is the retailer that shares a portion of the sale with me. You will not pay more by clicking on affiliate links.

Amazon affiliate links

Notice: As of February 1st, 2025, I have terminated my Amazon affiliate program account, and am actively working to remove all Amazon affiliate links from this site. Amazon links will not be added in future posts, and I will remove this notice once I am sure that this website contains no Amazon links on any page. I encourage you to search for alternative sources for all of your calligraphy supplies and books.
