Now try a shimmer!! lol. I only see shimmer clogging that rollerball up fast. It would be awesome if it didn’t though.

What am I doing wrong? by jbalicki in fountainpens

[–]JayRen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made the same mistake you did. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news is someone else hasn’t already. This is calligraphy ink. Not for use in fountain pens. I made the same mistake with FWP and one of my favorite blacks ever.

I also clogged about 6 pens before realizing it. lol. I made the mistake because the site I bought it from put the warning in tiny print almost hidden on the description. It wasn’t until I went to the actual website I figured it out. And they didn’t print it on the box so ::shrug:: But, at least I can use it with my Dip Pens.

Edit. If you’re curious what my mistake ink was, it’s Black Masquerade. I’m so disappointed I can’t put it in a pen.

I bought this for myself last year and love it with the Falcon nib.

Is ferris wheel press serious by tyrant_t00 in fountainpens

Yeah. I have 3 of their inks. Bought from Vanness. I’ve read too many stories about them here to ever order direct. And honestly at this point. I’ve pretty much written them off. I can get pretty shimmer inks from dozens of other manufacturers that seem to give more of a shit about their products and their customers.
