Dr. Ph. Martin's Ink Bottle, Copper Plate Gold,29.6 ml (Pack of 1)

And a little goes a long way. I can see many uses for this

The dropper works well, and the ink itself is beautiful. The ink is brown and watery when opened, so make sure to give the pot a good shake before using to reintroduce the copperplate gold particulates. Wonderful, high-quality ink that I will be reordering when I use it all. 5/5!

This is hands-down my favourite gold to work with. I use this for pointed pen, and it requires no watering down or gum thickening, even on textured paper or cotton rag. The colour is beautiful! Very shiny, and the perfect warm gold for any project.

Beautiful but the ink came all separated and even though I rgourouslt shake the bottle, I can’t get it to mix fully. Any others have the same problem?

The media could not be loaded. I'm still struggling to get this to work with my dip pen.*edit Have tried this with a bigger nib and it works perfectly!*I've resorted to using the teeeeeniest tiniest brush I could find.You really need to shake it thoroughly before you use it as the contents do settle.It goes onto the paper fantastically (with a brush) dries fast and looks glorious.I think it might be my new favourite art thing.\

I've used many different gold inks, but now I've discovered this one, I'm never buying another brand ever again. The consistency is beautiful, the results stunning and it just behaves itself really well. Whether applied with a brush or a nib, it just does what I want it to and looks incredibly professional. Just remember to shake the bottle really vigorously every time. It does seperate and settle, but once it's been properly shaken, it's fine.

I used this with a feather dip flex nib (cos that's the dip pen I have at the moment) and this is such a beautiful ink to write cards with!When mixed thoroughly (just shake for a couple of minutes max) the ink flows really nicely. It's thick but can be well controlled and when it dries, can leave what looks like a gold embossed font (depending on how thick the ink applied is).The ink is relatively resistant to smudging or being scratched off, and waterproof as well.

Absolutely beautiful product. Completely in love with it. It does need a good shake before use and if being used for a long period needs reshaking. But the effect of the ink is absolutely worth it.I use it for dip quill calligraphy and it's wonderful on all the different papers I've tried it on, without bleeding.The one downside is that I've used my older inks and they're terrible in comparison!I will be getting the full collection of the inks as soon as I can afford them.
