The Bubble Gum colour

Bubble Gum is a dreamy pastel blue, creamy and opaque, that gives lettering a soft, playful look on light or dark paper.

Made for dip pens only

Dipton inks are richly pigmented and creamy, which is what makes Bubble Gum so opaque. That same body means Bubble Gum must not be used in fountain pens. Use Bubble Gum with dip pens, glass pens or brushes, and rinse your nib with water after use.

Tips for using Bubble Gum

Stir or gently shake the Bubble Gum bottle before use, as pigment can settle. Layer Bubble Gum for deeper colour, and let it dry fully before touching the page. Bubble Gum looks especially striking on dark and black paper.
