This pink fountain pen ink features added copper pearlescent shimmer. Shimmering inks work best with broader nibs on high quality paper to really see the shine. De Atramentis fountain pen inks are exclusively handmade in Germany by Dr. Franz-Josef Jansen, and come in a 45ml glass bottle.

Note: De Atramentis is in the process of changing their bottled ink lids. What is pictured might differ from what you receive. We cannot honor special requests.

Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens. We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging. You will also want to be diligent about cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink.

Not for fountain pens

I have tried this ink in several different fountain pens with nibs from fine to broad, and it has clogged every one of them. These are pens that work fine with other shimmer inks. Very disappointed. I think it should be sold for dip pens only. I will have to try decanting the ink off the shimmer so that I can at least use the ink. I bought it because the colour is spectacular, but that's not useful when I can't use the ink!

Great ink, needs a medium nib

I saw the reviews that said this ink was tough on nibs, but decided to try it anyway because I loved the color so much. Oops. All my pens were fine nibs and it did not work in any of them. I bought an inexpensive medium nib pen on sale (which is a great pen, so I'm happy I did that) and now the ink works great. Very rich gold shimmer with vibrant magenta is smooth and fun to write with. But do not buy it unless you own a medium or broad nib.

I Love This Coppery Magenta!

I've been shopping for a signature fuschia, and I love this! I usually use a fine nib for letters and so it doesn't shimmer as much as it does in the bottle or the barrel... but I really like the color even without as much shimmer landing on the paper. I primarily use 100% cotton stationary so bleeding isnt a problem. It has dried surprisingly fast, too. I haven't checked solubility but it only washed off my smudgy fingers with soap. On Clairefontaine it behaves nicely and shimmers more. I'm actually ready for a medium nib for letters, now. The bottle is more expensive but I really don't mind when it is a good product. The ridge in the bottle fills with glitter, so I'm not sure about getting every last drop, but it will take a while to run out. In the meantime I'll get a TWSBI inkwell for it. There's a lot of shimmer in my feed, but so far no clogging [TWSBI 580]. I'll likely have a little trouble rinsing this pen, I fear... oh well! A deep cleaning will work.Conclusion: I love the colors and am modifying my style to further experience the shimmer. That's a great ink.

Enjoying It.

What can I say. Great ink as usual. I love how deep and rich it is. I'm really enjoying this ink.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink. You can also refill an empty ink cartridge from bottled ink using an ink syringe.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink (a fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in) is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size with shimmering ink. While it is safe to use in fountain pens, it may require a little extra maintenance.

Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens, especially with finer nibs.

We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling, and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging.

You will also want to be diligent about regularly cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink.
