Welp, it's #FountainPen cleaning and re-inking day. #Today I re-learned why I don't use shimmer inks in my #TWSBI Diamond 580. In fact, I usually reserve them exclusively for dip pens.

Time to meticulously clean out a clogged feed. It didn't even make it a paragraph.

I haven’t had much success with shimmer in TWSBIs either. I mostly use Pelikans for shimmer

I've got J. Herbin's 1670 Emerald of Chivor in my TWSBI Diamond 580, and it's working fine. I'm not seeing any shimmer though, as I've got an EF nib on it. It looks REALLY cool inside the pen.
