Shimmer inks contain very small particles of shiny materials that are suspended in solution. These materials add a glitter or glimmer effect when light is refracted. A few things to think about before using shimmer inks is the Nib size of the pen; we recommend a medium nib or larger when using shimmer inks and this may need to be larger depending on the Ink and the size of the particles used to create the shimmer to reduce the chance of clogging. There is a little more pen maintenance when using shimmer inks so, you will need to clean your pen out a little more, to reduce the chance of clogging. Happy Inking!
Sheen, shimmer, and pigmented inks have the potential to settle over time. To ensure optimal performance, gently shake the bottles or use a clean syringe to remix your inks. This process will ensure you get the most out of your ink’s properties.
