  • Great Ink 4

    Posted by Tumble on Jan 13th 2022

    Dr. Ph Martin's iridescent inks are an absolute pleasure to add to any calligraphy project. Their finish is so permanent and durable, and their sheen is unmatched. I buy a lot of my inks in stores, but this color is particularly difficult to find, so I am glad Paper & Ink Arts has me covered! As the other reviews state: shake (very) well before use, and keep your dropper free from clogs as best you can (I keep a straight pin for sewing with my inks so I can use it to ream out the barrel when it gets too gunky). This color is also really similar to a few other golds/yellows they make, so I was a little disappointed when I added it to my collection, but it is beautiful and looks fabulous, as expected!

  • Great Ink...But A Little Redundant 4

    Posted by Tumble on Jan 13th 2022

    I love Dr. Ph Martin's iridescent inks! They are an absolute pleasure to add to any calligraphy project. Their finish is so permanent and durable, and their sheen is unmatched. I now own all their iridescent colors and have managed to get pretty much all of them in stores. This color is particularly difficult to find though. I am glad Paper & Ink Arts has me covered—this was one of the final colors to complete my collection! I was a little disappointed to find that this blue is strikingly similar to the other two blues they make, but I do really appreciate having the complete collection, and I am sure I will find a day when I prefer this particular blue to the other near-identical blues they make. As the other reviews for these inks state: shake (very) well before use, and keep your dropper free from clogs as best you can (I keep a straight pin for sewing with my inks so I can use it to ream out the barrel when it gets too gunky).
