I need some help finding a purple that works for me. Most of the purple/violets I've tried are too dry and unlubricated. Help me find one that's wet and well lubed.

 

I'm not super particular about the color. Somewhere in the purple spectrum is fine.

DA Purpur...purple, found also in the astrology inks for Schuetze...that is the one with the centaur with the bow.

DA Pur purviolet is a purple-violet.

DA Aubergine (eggplant) is a darker purple.

 

DA Royal Blue, is a dark well lubricated blue with a tinge towards purple. When I got this, I gave Waterman Florida Blue to a school kid.

 

All these are well lubricated.

Which have you tried?

Herbin Violette Pensée is wet, but I don't think it's really lubricated.

Sorry, that would have been helpful.

Check out Waterman Purple, it is pretty wet, but not very lubricated. Still, it's a very nice ink. Diamine Bilberry is a much darker purple, so much so that I classify it as a blue. It is also free flowing and it is pretty well lubricated and is currently my favorite ink.

I totally agree. Here was my review.

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

The new formulation of Black Swan in Australian Roses? I inked up my TWSBI Vac700 with it, and the flow is pretty good.

 

Edit to add: Oh, and it's a really nice purple colour.

I really enjoy PR DC Super Violet and Everflo Orchid, both are easy starters and pretty vibrant colors.

Diamine Amazing Amethyst - good flow, reasonable lubrication, beautiful cool toned purple but still with a zing. Suitable for regular daily use.

Nice! I ordered a bottle. I also ordered a bottle of Sailor Shigure.

 

Thanks to everyone here, as well. I ordered a bunch of samples that people suggested to try.

Just got MB lavender-purple today. It's a dark purple....on the copy paper I printed a draft out to edit.

 

I don't know exactly how lubricated it is, in I was using a semi-flex B. Semi-flex is a wetter nib...like all MB inks it is at least medium.

Where did you find MB Lavender? I have checked my local MB boutique and they have never had it in stock each time I checked.

Noodlers V-Mail North African Violet. It has good flow and is a bright saturated purple, however a takes extra effort to clean up and does stain like many purples.

      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
