on saleDe Atramentis Pearlescent Amber Yellow-Copper - 45ml Bottled Ink

I like this ink. The shine is amazing and is as advertised. I found it was an ink that really need a broad or stub nib and maybe don't use it in your best pen. I really like it in my Noodler's Triple tail pen.

Very nice color. Be aware that that the added copper components will easily clog up a fine nib. Keep your nibs clean and shake pen gently every once in a while to keep the glittery components evenly distributed. I often use inks like this with a glass dip pen.

I have used several shimmer inks in the past, and I believe this one does not perform as well. Glitter does not stay suspended well at all, and is very difficult to re-suspend once it separates. Because it concentrates in one part of the pen, it also clogs the tip quite a bit. This is on a 1.1mm stub twsbi eco. Once the glitter is re-mixed or some extra ink is extruded, the clog resolved quickly. The yellow color is too light to be read very easily without the glitter, and if it matters to you, it does not show up on a black and white scanner.

Let me start by saying, De Atremis Shimmer inks tend to be the hardest of the shimmer inks to work with. The shimmer they use tends to clump and fall out of the ink much faster than, for example, Diamine or J. Herbin, and the particle size is much larger. In my twsbi eco M nib, I can literally watch the particles clump and clog the feed, where as with Emerald of Chivour I never ever had a single clogging issue. That being said, the yellow ink itself is a little too light for my taste, and reminds me of a not-quite-neon highlighter yellow. However, this ink is really designed to be seen with the shimmer in it, and when the shimmer comes through consistently, it does darken up a little and makes it easier to read. The problem is the flow is so inconsistent due to the particles, that I never got a chance to love this ink. Come back with particle tech that improves on what you have, and this ink would be great for an artist or sketcher, even if its not a great selection for a daily writer.
