So, I've finally settled on a technique to keep shimmer inks from clogging my #FountainPens and it's working well, but it's not exactly condusive to writing in #teeline which is what I use 90% of the time these days.

@paradoxmo I'm currently using a TWSBI Diamond 580. As for the technique, I was basically just making a rookie mistake:

It looks like I wasn't moving the pen enough. As I would keep writing, the shimmer would collect in the feed until it just straight-up clogged. I didn't realize I had to periodically roll the pen around even while I was actively using it. This should have been obvious by the fact that my writing kept getting more and more, well... shimmery before the ink stopped flowing.

I'll try this approach in the future.

Rookie mistake, but in my defense, I didn't even know that shimmer inks were even a thing until late last year.
