I purchased three bottles for testing. So far it has been nice ink. The bottles are tiny and they ship very well because of the little plastic insert.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Bringing this back up because I was gifted the Amazon set of 24 7ml gold shimmer ink. Is it safe for fountain pens? I was planning on using my dip pens with it, but it would be a bonus if what the description says is true. Wondering if I should try it in a Jinhao.

I wanted to bring this back up because I’ve been using these inks in my Sailor Lecoule with no problems. I’m still hesitant about any shimmer ink in my more expensive pens, but in a pen that can be as easily taken apart, I can see it working well. If it’s a thin nib and a feed with lots of fins, I would use caution.

If using shimmer go broad and wet something also that you can easily replace such as TWSBI swipe which are cheap cheerful and easy to disassemble and the reassemble as I found out yesterday when giving mine a good clean as it was being a P.I.T.A and writing very dry something to with having purple ink in for god knows how long. It is now running Diamine Dragon Blood Shimmering ink.

That’s a good idea, Mark. I keep looking at that TWSBI Prussian blue.

Going wide (M, B, BB is also sensible because that's how you get the most visible effect. Thinner nibs will lay less ink and the effect will be more difficult to appreciate.

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
