This 2ml sample of Wearingeul Dracula red shimmering fountain pen ink comes in a labeled plastic vial. 

Wearingeul inks are made in South Korea.

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.

No shimmer

Maybe it is because of the 2ml sample size but this is not the same ink in the photos it has zero shimmer. Disappointed so far the first 2 samples I have tried from this line with same issue

I liked this ink very much. Wet flow, relatively slow dry time of 4-5 seconds. Dries a beautiful deep, crimson velvet with some light shading. Even with a juicy Benu medium nib, however, I have gotten very little of that icy shimmer out of my sample vial. A stray twinkle now and then, but nothing dramatic. Will buy a full-sized bottle eventually.

Rich and full red - obviously high quality

Since I got a sample size, I'm not sure if that affects the amount of sparkle, but I did find it to be a bit light on the sparkle side. However, the red itself is amazing.

A great ink!

My son loves the color of this ink and appreciates the care you took in making sure he got an intact bottle. As always, this was a great shopping experience and a great purchase!

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
