Dr. Ph. Martin'sDr. Ph. Martin's Iridescent Calligraphy Color, 1.0 oz, Copper Plate Gold (11R)

The best gold ink for any calligrapher to write with.

Must have in art collection

Good ink! Just shake well before using it!

I liked the price, and the ink proved to be very beautiful in colour, it has a slight hint of copper hue in it and the consistency of the ink is very smooth. I used it to paint on carved stone with a fine brush. I have not used it for writing, but I think it would be perfect.

It looks amazing on several types of paper. I’ve used it for handlettering with a calligraphy nib and I just love the consistency

This is hands-down my favourite gold to work with. I use this for pointed pen, and it requires no watering down or gum thickening, even on textured paper or cotton rag. The colour is beautiful! Very shiny, and the perfect warm gold for any project.

Once again, Dr. Ph Martin's does not disappoint! I have been using this ink for about a year, and I have now just finished a little more than half of the bottle. The ink is gold, dries with a slightly elevated texture, and does not have glitter particles that make so many gold inks appear fake. I use this ink both for coloring doodles and calligraphy (the main reason I use it), and have been impressed with how smooth it writes on smooth and textured papers with both large and small nibs. This ink is NOT FOR FOUNTAIN PENS and as all metallic inks REQUIRES CONSTANT MIXING WHEN WRITING FOR LARGE PERIODS, so if you have a large envelope job, I would reccomend getting an ink stirrer so that you do not waste time mixing the ink. If the ink looks dark brown and watery, do not be surprised as this is normal with metallic inks which are usually suspended pigments and particles. Simply shake the bottle vigorously and voila! It is ready to use. I have not experienced the ink becoming moldy or smelling weird, and I use the dropper to put the ink directly on my nibs. If prefered, the ink may also be transferred to a dinky dip using its dropper. However, the opening is too small to dip a pen, which is why its lid is a dropper and also why it does not mold. I must caution that because the ink separates, the dropper can get clogged and spill ink all over you, your desk, and your work if you use pressure to unclog the dropper. So if your purchase this product, make sure that you keep the plunger and bottle neck clean. Finally, to remove the ink from my nibs, I use 50% isopropyl alcohol solution and clean my nibs every few minutes and as soon as I have finished writing, because once it dries, it is nearly impossible to remove, even with acetone and dish soap.

Ho acquistato questo prodotto per utilizzarlo con una glass pen oltre che per dare un tocco di colore ai miei disegni su carta nera, e devo dire che fa un ottimo lavoro. Consiglio di scuotere bene il boccettino prima dell'utilizzo in quanto la parte metallica tende a separarsi.
