FAQs

• Will the shimmer affect my fountain pen? No, the pearlescent particles are designed to flow smoothly. But regular cleaning is recommended to maintain pen performance.
• Can I use this ink for everyday writing? Yes, though most users reserve it for special notes, cards, or creative projects.
• Is the shimmer subtle or strong? It’s quite dramatic and you'll notice you need to shake the bottle to redistribute the particles. 
• Is the ink permanent? No, it's water-based and the shimmer may also brush off the paper once dry.
• Can it be mixed with other inks? Pearlescent inks may alter the shimmer if mixed, so best to use them on their own.
• Which colour is most popular? We intentionally stock the copper based inks to provide an alternate to the more common gold and silver shimmer inks.

Practical tip:

Use high-quality paper for best results. Shimmer shows best on smooth, thick paper. Absorbent paper may reduce the sparkle.

Recommended for handwritten letters, calligraphy projects, wedding invitations, journaling and accents in drawings or ink wash art.
