Ken,
have you or haven't you access to the Jesuit map 'Mappa 56'? And have
you or haven't you access to normal procedure for carbon ink which
existed from Ancient Age up to Mediveal Age; same question for if you
have or if you haven't full knowledge of the process in Medieval
Age(and before) for the sand product which was used to dry ink. If
you have those knowledge, how can you say that valid arguments are
misinformed? What's presented to be in the ink is exactly what would
be expected for a map drawn in 1430's. If you have analysed other
maps of the time and from that arrived to your conclusion, please
state you case. Up to now you haven't. 

Inger,
Before blaming Ken Towe for anything:
Tell us what is expected from a 1430's map and why?
Tell us where your famous 'Mappa 56' is to be seen.
Tell us what the normal procedure for carbon ink is.
Tell us what that special sand was.
In other words: please, state your case.
