Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I have to admit that I have probably passed over this ink based on the name. But after seeing this, I think I am going to have to at least order a sample.

I think I looked at this early on but bypassed it for North African Violet, which has a bit of water resistance, and by PR Purple Mojo (which is a bit softer color, and a little faster drying, than NAV is).

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

I did the same - bought both of those purples before buying this one. NAV was one of my first purples. Alas NAV has NO fade resistance and can be a little fussy. Same for PR Purple Mojo and Tanzanite. This ink was really fuss free.

I tend to like the original simple Noodler's basic colors better than the more recent extravagantly named ones, as the older inks seem not to have the same bleeding, feathering and clogging problems found in more recent Noodler's inks.

 

If you've never seen the original Noodler's Blue - WOW, what a color! Too often I think it gets overlooked by another named after the sky or a particular river, etc.

 

Part of the ink business is marketing...who really needs all of these variations of the same colors? ;)

I have a bottle of Noodler's Purple, and like it.

 

 

What about pink?

 

JK - Noodler's doesn't make just "pink".

As you suggested, a little black added to pink makes a nice burgundy. I don't use my black too often, so maybe I should get some pink just so I can make up some ink that is usable.

That's a really nice purple! I used to have hair the same colour may have to pick up a sample of this :) it's dark enough that I could use it for taking notes etc!

 

 

I love the idea of matching ink and hair color. It's a great regret that I grew up in the 80s and ever dyed my hair hot pink or neon greon - even better blue and purple. Sigh

Sigh...I need to stop reading your reviews amberleadavis. My poor wallet can't handle buying all the inks I see you posting :(

I'll keep on struggling, 'cause that's the measure of a man.

Wow, that1s a really nice purple. Well, I not match inks to my hair color, but I do sometimes match them to my nail polish or the color of my clothes.

Amber, would you do a side by side posting of the Noodler's purple with the Waterman Tender Purple for a comparison. I use the Tender Purple regularly, but haven't tried the Noodler's!

 

Also, does anything remain when water is run over it?

 

Thanks, in advance.

Fair winds and following seas.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
