How long does the ink take to dry?
As these are wet inks, drying time varies based on paper quality and humidity; always test on a scrap piece of paper first.
Are there multiple color options available?

Is this ink safe to use?

Troubleshooting
Ink flow is inconsistent during use
Gently shake the bottle to redistribute the shimmer particles, or clean the tip of your pen or brush to remove dried buildup.
Ink is clogging the fountain pen feed
Flush the fountain pen thoroughly with warm water until the flow is clear. It is recommended to use dip pens rather than fountain pens for shimmer inks to avoid potential damage.
The ink is smudging after application
The product is a wet ink; allow additional drying time, or use a hair dryer on a low, cool setting to accelerate the process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, gently shake the bottle to ensure the shimmer particles are evenly distributed throughout the solution. When using dip pens, ensure your nib is free of previous ink residue to maintain consistent flow. If you choose to use this with a fountain pen, you must exercise extreme caution; flush your pen regularly with water to prevent the shimmer particles from clogging the feed. Always store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place, and ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent the ink from drying out prematurely.
