FAQs

Can I use this ink in a fountain pen?

No, this ink is acrylic-based and will permanently damage the internal feed and reservoir of a fountain pen.

Is this ink waterproof?

Yes, once the ink has fully cured, it becomes waterproof and lightfast.

Does the gold color fade over time?

The ink is formulated with high lightfastness to resist fading under normal lighting conditions.

What is the best way to clean my nib after use?

Clean the nib immediately with water after use to ensure no acrylic residue builds up on the metal.

Can I mix this ink with other colors?

While you can mix acrylic inks, doing so may alter the waterproof and drying properties; it is generally recommended to use as-is.

Is this ink suitable for brush work?

Yes, it works exceptionally well with brushes for fine illustration and detailed metallic accents.

Troubleshooting

Ink is flowing unevenly from the nib

Ensure the nib is clean of any dried residue and shake the bottle well to redistribute the metallic pigments.

Ink seems too thin or transparent

The pigment may have settled at the bottom; shake the bottle vigorously for at least 30 seconds.

Nib is clogged after a break in work

Soak the nib in warm water with a mild soap solution to gently dissolve the dried acrylic binder.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Vibrant, professional-grade metallic gold finish
  • Highly durable and waterproof when dry
  • Excellent lightfastness prevents fading
  • Ideal for a wide range of creative applications including calligraphy and illustration

Cons

  • Requires frequent cleaning of nibs to prevent acrylic buildup
  • Not intended for use in fountain pens
  • Metallic particles may settle, requiring a good shake before use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before use, shake the 30ml bottle thoroughly to ensure the metallic pigment is evenly distributed throughout the solution. Always decant a small amount into an ink well or dinky dip rather than dipping your nib directly into the main bottle to prevent cross-contamination.

Regarding care, because this is an acrylic-based ink, it will dry hard. You must clean your dip pen nibs immediately after use with water or a dedicated nib cleaner. Avoid letting the ink dry on the nib, as the acrylic binder can permanently clog the tines and shorten the lifespan of your professional tools. This product is strictly for dip pen use and should not be used in fountain pens or technical pens with delicate internal mechanisms.
