Unreal Metallic Sheen

Recently got a sample of this & Diamine Jack Frost, to compare against Organic Studio's Nitrogen. Unfortunately for my wallet... Dipton Blue Flame is my favorite of the three. The sheen is absolutely unreal; it almost has this 3D metallic effect because of the way it dries-- as opposed to the "flatter" sheen of Nitrogen & Jack Frost.

The 6x price-point is tough to stomach-- but the effect is absolutely magical.

GORGEOUS, STUNNING, I LOVE THIS INK...

I absolutely fell in love. shiny! super shine and i love it! I have in my twsbi vac 700r broad nib. Ink flows, a nice wet ink, dries reasonably quick for how wet it is - i give it about 15-25 seconds before touching - you have to have patience with inks! I find myself writing full pages with this ink just to fawn over a finished page gleems. i'm going to try the other colors and get myself a bottle! this is a fun ink. if you are looking for a business ink - look elsewhere - this is an after-five, loosen up and have fun ink. if you are stuffy - this ink is not for you. but i hope you give it a try - it brought me such joy to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Check out our blog post on How to Fill a Fountain Pen from an Ink Sample Vial, or watch the video here:

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. 

What does it mean if an ink has shading or sheen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading is 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 is a characteristic of a fountain pen ink where, when ink pools, another color can be seen on top of the ink. It is more pronounced 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 may help obtain better sheening results in your writing.
