There are a wide variety of shimmer forms and colours, each with its own qualities. Most inks contain no shimmer, and those that do can contain shimmer in differing quantities. Highly shimmered inks do carry the potential of clogging pens, especially ones with finer nibs. Van Dieman's only uses extremely high quality shimmer pigments that lower (but do not completely remove) the risk of this.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eFlow Wetness: Moderate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0091\/2198\/8667\/files\/Sliding_Scale_-_Moderate_020b6989-74bb-474e-968a-49d0ac474451.png?v=1639402765\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tooltip\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eWhat is this?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tooltiptext\"\u003eThis, quite simply put, is how well an ink flows through a pen, but also dictates how quickly an ink will seep into a page.
