on saleDe Atramentis Pearlescent Columbia Blue-Copper - Ink Sample

it was a very pretty color, wonderful color, unfortunately it had flow issues. I have many De Atramentis inks and have never had a problem but for some reason, it did not flow well in my pen... I have a Pilot decimo with an extra fine tip.

This is the second pen and a lot of sample inks. Always packed well and ships pretty quickly. Big fan

This is my favourite shade of bright blue, and combined that with the beautiful shimmer - I put a full bottle in my basket pretty fast. As with all shimmer inks, this can clog your pen, but when it does write, it's gorgeous. I use it with a 1.1mm stub nib and it's lovely.

I ordered a sample of this ink, and could hardly wait to use it. You can see the shading even with a F nib. I am going to order the bottle now.

I adore this ink! At first, I couldn't see the copper, but I went to the bottle's description which said to shake the dickens out of it. I looked at the bottom of my wee bottle, saw all the copper right there, said well, dang and did just that with my sample. I shook the dickens out of it, let the air bubbles settle a minute, and refilled my pen (I didn't flush or clean, just pushed out the old and twisted up the new.) I LOVE this ink!!! Y'all! It is beautiful! Even with a fine point, my crosswords are prettier than they have ever been. My co-workers are getting tired of me saying but look how pretty the ink is! Even the girl at the grocery store commented on how pretty it was on my check. I will be ordering more samples in this line, and maybe a few bottles. It does smear just a tiny bit if you have wet/sweaty hands even after a day or two of sitting. But, It's July in Georgia. Everything smears a bit... I put used this ink in my Jinhao 301 hooded nib fine point. Dang if it ain't purty!
