An ink composition or system for writing instruments constructed with a
polyester fiber reservoir and a porous oriented fiber nib. This ink system
will write on both black and white surfaces. On black surfaces, it will
reveal itself as being opaque and metallic almost iridescent in
appearance. On white surfaces, a tint of color is observed with distinct
flecks of silver. The ink system is composted of water as a carrier, a
permanent water-based binder, a colored pigmented permanent water-based
dispersion of sub-micron particle size, a unique aluminum dispersion of
specific particle size in a special carrier, a humectant, a surfactant
that lowers surface tension, an anti-settling additive, a preservative and
a base acting as a pH adjuster.
