I use this ink for addressing my Christmas cards each year, using a 1.1 stub nib. I like the little bit of extra sparkle for celebrating this special holiday. I've not had any problems with clogging or being difficult to clean. I also use Magical Forest for signing the cards. These inks have performed well for me. I do shake each bottle just before filling my pens and move the pen frequently to keep the sparkles mixed.
"Shake the bottle gently before filling your pen.
I ordered samples of three of the Shimmertastic inks because I thought they were a really novel idea. This turned out to be my wife's favorite. She uses a Lamy Joy with a 1.1mm nib. This ink performs very well and produces stellar results. I give a 4 Star rating because the pen should be cleaned between fillings, and if held point-down too long the tiny flakes that create the shimmer will settle into the feed and block the flow of ink. If you lay the pen on its side or carry it point up give a couple of gentle shakes to re-suspend those tiny flakes."
