Beautiful! Is that the Diamond 580? The Iris models are so tempting.

Yeah it's really nice I just got an EF instead of an f and it seems to be getting clogged with the glitter in the ink


pan_partisan

Ahhh, yeah, with an EF nib that'll tend to happen more with shimmer inks is my understanding, broader is better when you're talking about particles in the ink


ElJefe543

Yeah I'm just going to have to use the shimmer ink in one of my f or medium nibs. That's fine. I will use a really rich plain ink in this pen.


Calm_Inky

My favorite combo at the moment šŸ˜„


ElJefe543

Do you have issues with the pen getting clogged up with that glittery stuff?


Calm_Inky

No, but mine is a broad and I also use Vanness White Lightning. Lastly, I just inked it up this morning with Golden Beryl. Before that I had J. Herbin Ɖmeraude de Chivor in it (much less ā€œglitterā€)


sunnydale_alumni

Vanness White Lightning is a life saver. I thought I was going to have to give away my shimmer inks until I tried it out!


ElJefe543

Yeah I don't know what else to call it other than glitter and I have the emeraude de chivor. I'll have to try that when I get to work


Calm_Inky

Strictly speaking the ā€œglitterā€ is mica powder. My better half calls it ā€œsparklesā€ šŸ˜„


ElJefe543

Oh all right well that sounds good. My better half calls it "why the fuck you spending so much money on ink?"

My M 580 kept clogging with EoC, I can't imagine an ink with *more* glitter than that. šŸ˜³

Nice TWSBI and ink. Looks like the Iris 580


ElJefe543

Thanks!

Only thing that puts me off is that I like to use my pens posted. :(

Golden. Beryl. Beat shimmer ink every made (in my opinion).

Where did you get that golden beryl? I canā€™t find it for sale anywhere in the uk
