We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging. You will also want to be diligent about cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink. Diamine Inks Diamine has been making ink since 1864 and is one of the last remaining manufacturers in the UK. In 1925 the company created a state-of-the-art production facility in Liverpool, and despite several changes of ownership, they have remained in the same area ever since. Throughout, the Diamine trademark and the traditional production methods have survived and now in the 21st century, their fountain pen ink remains the first choice of many pen connoisseurs.

By adding a secret ingredient to de-stress the surface, Diamine achieves vibrant colour with a free flow that glides on the paper surface, and which will not clog your pen.
