Shimmer vs Iridescent Fountain Pen Ink
All shimmer inks are flashy, but not all flashy inks are truly iridescent.
You might see shimmer + sheening together, which can give an illusion of iridescence, but they’re technically different.
Shimmer Ink
- Contains tiny reflective particles (often mica or metallic flakes).
- Gives your writing a sparkly or glittery appearance.
- The shimmer is more visible depending on the paper, nib size, and lighting.
- It’s a more “sparkle on top” kind of look.
Iridescent Ink
- Mimics the effect of changing colors when viewed from different angles, like soap bubbles or oil slicks.
- It’s more of a color-shift or multi-tonal effect than just sparkle.
- Sometimes shimmer inks are incorrectly labeled as iridescent because of the light play, but true iridescence is more about shifting hues.
