Collection: Shimmer Ink

These are "shimmer" (or sometimes "glistening") fountain pen inks. They contain mica or other mineral particles, essentially glitter, that add a bit more sparkle and fun to your writing.

A couple of tips for using shimmer inks in fountain pens:

1. Gently hake the ink bottle before filling a pen, to make sure the glitter particles are evenly suspended.
2. When picking up your pen to write after a break, give it a quick shake to re-suspend the shimmer particles.
3. Cleaning a pen after using shimmer ink might take a bit longer, but just rinse thoroughly with water. Very occasionally, some shimmer particles may get wedged in your feed, but more rinsing and shaking usually takes care of it.

Have fun!
