Lustrous!

A lovely lavender-grey with iridescent silver shimmer that isn't over-powering. I did not get quite the sheen seen in the Goulet pictures where it appears almost silver-leafed, but that could be just that I am using a fine nib or the specific sample I received. (In my experience shining/ shimmering inks need to be Very well agitated to come out of the bottle evenly down to the last fill, and I don't know Goulet's process for syphoning their samples.)

Classy Ink

This is a gorgeous, subtle ink. I love the contrast between the very mild grey colour and the beauty of the shimmer once you hold it up to the light. Don't expect it to be as flashy as some of the other Diamine inks, but if you're looking for a nice, understated grey ink with a special, magical touch to it, this one is perfect. I tried it in a Noodler's Nib Creeper and didn't have any major issues with clogging, but as with most shimmer inks, it would probably flow better in a wider, wetter-writing pen.

Gorgeous ink.

Using in a Lamy Al-Star with an M nib. A ton of shimmer in the right light; have included a photo of it held up to sunlight. That said, it's much more sedate when the light isn't hitting at exactly the right angle. Not a business ink, but would happily use for all personal correspondence.

Love this it's my new favourite

I adore this ink on my hobonichi Tomoe River paper. The shine isn't too overpowering and the grey isn't too pale. It's just the right mix of shine and sophistication. I'll definitely be ordering a full size next time !Goulet pens is my go to for all my ink needs and it should be yours too.

Classy!

A few summers ago I bought a beautiful for fountain pen made by Bryn Jones (Prestige Pens) in Holyhead, Anglesey, Wales. I wanted to find an unusual ink that would be a good fit with for this classy pen. I tried the ink and it works well with the pen even though it's not a broad nib.

FAQ about Ink Samples

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

It depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

Check out our blog post on How to Fill a Fountain Pen from an Ink Sample Vial.

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

It really depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our Ink samples, or one good fill with a piston-filling pen. How much writing depends on you more than anything else, so we recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you. 

What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.

Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.

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

Yes! Shimmering ink 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 and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.
