A question for the #fountainpen folks:
Do you have to stir sheening inks to see the sheen? I know that shimmer tends to sink and thus need stirring or shaking, but I've never heard this about sheening.
I have a pen filled with Organic Studios' "Nitrogen" that only late in use started showing sheen. The picture shows the clear difference between the first and last use of the sample. Hard to believe that it's the same ink.
The strange thing is that there are ball bearings in the pen!
