Review: A GREAT Ink - I ADORE Dr. Ph. Martin's inks. The colors are true to how they appear in the bottle (once any sediment has been properly shaken up and suspended), truly waterproof, no fading. Do note that this is metallic and a light color. On light paper, it can be difficult to see for some. The ink doesn't run and bleed everywhere, it works with every nib I've tried (quite a range, every modern leonardt, almost every modern speedball, several others), and almost every paper (anything your nib scratches to bits is obviously out of the question). It is a thicker ink than many others you might find--it flows beautifully, smooth without breaks, but you don't want to, say, leave it in a roundhand nib with a reservoir untouched for ten minutes. It is ink. It will dry. But that just leads me to another plus--it's easy to clean out. Once dry it flakes off nibs at the touch of fingernail, not counting unfortunate grooves. It responds well to nib cleaning solution, abd of course when wet (again, not counting grooves where any ink would get stuck) it wipes right off with paper. I've also found that it come out of my scrap cloth with little effort, but don't go spilling it on your carpet or favorite white shirt and expect it to come out. I just mean that the scrap I use for cleaning isn't darkly or noticeably stained from these. They also are wonderful in painting, and again waterproof, so you can do things like soaking a drawing in tea to make it appear aged without worrying about losing the drawing. With metallic inks, because they may have been in storage some time, you may have to go into the bottle with a rod to loosen and mix any sediment that may have collected. Once mixed, though, I find the occasional shake is sufficient before using the inks. I haven't had to go back into any ink to remix settled pigment since I've bought them, so my suspicion is that they have to be completely undisturbed for some time to need rod mixing rather than just shaking.
Review: Lovely gold! - Beautiful golden shimmer. But make sure to shake well or else the glitter settles and it looks just brown. I added a picture of after shaking well vs not.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this good for fountain pens or no?**
A: Clogged up my fountain pen and was horrible to get it out.  Works great for dip pens

**Q: What is the purpose of the dropper?**
A: I personally use the dropper to load my dip pen. I find it helps me to more evenly load it and get a smoother finish when writing.

**Q: can i use this on a leaf? what is the drying time?**
A: I actually did exactly that for my fall feast table settings! Some leaves I did in a light coat of gold acrylic craft paint (which turned out incredibly) and some I used this ink to highlight the veins in gold. Dry time was minutes and the end result received many compliments!

**Q: Would I be able to use this on ceramic dishware? Would it hold up going through a dishwasher?**
A: This is an ink so it wouldnt stay on well most likely (rubbing off, dripping on the sides or smearing). The ink would probably rub off easily as well, its basically metallic pigment in a water-based (im guessing) solvent- Nothing would help the pigment stick. I would suggest a gold enamel paint for dishware, thats made for staying on that kind of stuff.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb Copper Plate Gold
*by M***R on January 2, 2024*

I must admit that I love the quality, texture, and shimmer of the Iridescent line of colors pictured. I will definitely be ordering more from this company. You must shake the product well before using, otherwise the ink will be watery and difficult to use. The dropper that is included makes usage easier. If you want a smooth line use less ink, and for a bold, raised line slightly more ink your nib. These inks are best used with dip pens, however, glass pens are a little more difficult because the ink dries fast. I read in another review that the company will send you beads to put in the jars if you contact them. I used copper BB's and noticed that some inks do not like them and damages the ink. I recommend using plastic or glass beads to help mix the ink when separated.
