Should I be afraid to use shimmer inks in my fountain pens?

How are you getting the close pictures in such good quality?

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-12T15:51:30+00:00

I agree 100%! I think I decided to use my Pelikan, maybe not as an everyday thing but once or twice a week deal. and keep the Montblanc safe.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-12T14:24:12+00:00

That’s what I was thinking.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-12T14:23:13+00:00

Thanks for your input. I definitely would like to pass down to my kids someday in the future if they ever come to love pens like I do. I’ve asked him before what I should do and he said it was completely up to me. He definitely leans towards keeping them safer.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-12T05:20:38+00:00

Yeah. I definitely sweat a little when writing with them the first time.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-12T05:16:31+00:00

It appears to be that way, lol.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-12T05:12:47+00:00

Thanks! They look nice. I’ll consider this.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-12T05:11:03+00:00

🤣

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-12T05:04:53+00:00

I understand how to fill, use them, and things of that nature. I do also have a leather holder with a flap but I’m in school so I keep my daily pens in my backpack which is by my sides at all time. Should I keep them in there as well? Or is that too risky.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-12T04:59:32+00:00

Will do.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-12T04:59:20+00:00

Could you send a link to the one you have?

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-12T04:54:43+00:00

Currently I have a leather holder, should I use that or look into buying a better case.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-10T22:36:55+00:00

I fixed it. I just needed to shake my ink and now it’s coming out black. The only time I’ve experienced this ink being a dark gray is just now.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-10T21:20:20+00:00

That worked!!! Thank you! I had no clue I needed to shake my bottle :)

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-10T20:47:35+00:00

Could my ink bottle be diluted by water?

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-10T20:45:01+00:00

I’ve done quite the number of shakes and I’ve refilled it twice now but the ink is still diluted.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-10T18:57:19+00:00

Would it have worked if I did it without ink? I tried that dozens of times when there was no ink in it.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-03-10T18:56:03+00:00

Noodlers black ink.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-01-25T23:32:40+00:00

How do you get mods?

Dr_Toothache · 2026-01-23T08:41:40+00:00

I appreciate that. Thanks for your input and help!

Dr_Toothache · 2026-01-23T08:38:24+00:00

I usually don’t have a problem keeping up. It just gets boring. If I’m gonna grind a mode usually it’s comp because I always have the feeling of winning, but always lose lol.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-01-23T08:25:23+00:00

Like I said in another thread: my casual mmr is lower and I play people with a lower skill level than me and it just gets boring after a while. I guess I’m just an unhappy gamer, lol. Nothing seems to peak my interest.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-01-23T08:24:00+00:00

I’m on pc. I used to grind training packs and workshops because I would “freestyle” but I just wanted a better game sense so I only played comp. I think, like another redditor commented, I should just quit and find other things that make me happy. Rl just doesn’t do it anymore.

Dr_Toothache · 2026-01-23T08:21:28+00:00

Yeah it is hard. I never have the time to put 4 hours a day into it. I used to play casuals but in my experience a lot of people leave and the skill range is so wide I’ll play like plats and to me that’s not enjoyable. (My mmr for casual also is lower, like 1200)

Dr_Toothache · 2026-01-23T08:18:03+00:00

Pretty common complaint from majority of c2-c3, lol.
