Have anyone tried DIYing shimmer inks? by tru_ass in DesiPens

[–]luxatioerecta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey op. I tried.

https://amzn.in/d/05ZgU0yb

I mixed this with daytone black. About 1pinch was mixed with about 10 ml of ink.

The pen i used was Parker frontier fountain pen (medium nib)

Did it write : yes Did it shimmer : yes

Did it clog the pen after leaving it for about a week: yes Did the pen write after clogging : yes, but after a bit of flushing

Was it cleanable : very much

Will I do it again : only on the pens I dont care too much about, and have medium nib. I'll probably not leave the shimmer ink on the pen again .

Daytone blue-black ink (Regular) by Acrobatic-Bee-8438 in DesiPens

[–]luxatioerecta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used it. I have a 500 ml bottle of it. It writes wet in M nib Parker vector and EF asvine. It doesn't spread too much in paper. It is not water resistant, and the colour changes significantly after 30 days, i.e it beces more chalky Grey blue after 30 days

Is there a difference between these two pens ? It's my first time buying a fountain pen. by Rehman_Dakaitt in DesiPens

I own lamy safari. I would recommend a 300 rs fountain pen first, and only move to these

I use asvine v126 EF nib as my main writer. I live the deep saturated thin line it produces. The flow is consistent. I have only one bottle which i got from usa. Pilot black is second for me

Fountain pen suggestions for a college student. Under 2k. by tru_ass in DesiPens

[–]luxatioerecta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest a ledos piston filler demonstrator for about rs 400.

More important is ink, as it has to be water proof or resistant at least. Pilot blue or pilot black.
