Customers are mixed about the liquid ink. Some mention it dries quickly and lasts long, while others say it constantly needs to be shaken.

However, some say that the downside is that it consistently needs to been shaken, and completely separates within 10-15 minutes.

Customers have mixed opinions about the thickness of the ink. Some like the thickness, saying it's like liquid gold. They say it thins well to use in addition to watercolors, and is a stable ink, while others say that it'd be too thick for dipped calligraphy pens. They also say the inking feels a tad thick and the dropper keeps getting clogged.

"The thickness and viscosity is not perfect. You have to thin it down and it still is not flawless when it dries...." Read more

"...No feathering, and not too thick, works well with feather quills." Read more

"The ink is a vibrant gold, very nice. The ink feels a tad thick and maybe that's why the dropper keeps getting clogged...." Read more

23 customers mention14 positive9 negative

Customers are mixed about the performance of the ink. Some mention that it works well on its own, while others say that it doesn't work very well for gothic or other broad nib styles, and that it does not work with glass dipped pens. Some say that the inking tool does not last long and that the dropper stopped working within a week or two.

"...The ink doesn't run and bleed everywhere, it works with every nib I've tried..." Read more

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars True-Gold Colour, Opaque on Light and Dark Background, Waterproof
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2019
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ink separates but well worth the hassle. Add gorgeous sparkle to any project with this ink! Worth the money!
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2018
Dr. Martin's ink is good but -1 star bc the ink does separate A LOT; it even separates once you drop a dab on plate. No matter how much you mix it up when you go to dip your brush in the dab you have to mix it up again (really well) or else you'll have a very "chunky-glittery-golden" spot in the middle of you're writing. However, if you do mix it just right - WOW, possibilities are endless! I just mixed a tiny drop (a little goes a long way) with watercolor & some other water-based inks & used a small cheap brush to write some words & it came out GORGEOUS; the ink adds just the right amount of sparkle to make anything look magical. And, it's not like a gaudy- chunky glittery type of sparkle - it's really nice. I prefer to mix this ink with other mediums bc I found it to be to gold by itself. Maybe on a different color paper it would've come out better. Highly recommend, worth money, little goes long way, probably never have to buy another bottle again.
