Nice review - thanks for posting.

 

Interesting that you encountered no feathering with Nightshade. In my experience this ink feathers like crazy on certain papers - mostly cheap copy bond stuff. No problems with better quality paper like Black 'n Red journals but it does take some time to dry. Of course, the pen may be a significant contributor. I've been using Nightshade in a very wet-writing Vacumatic with a fine nib.

 

All that aside, I like the color and its versatility.

More proof that the right pen and paper make the most of any ink. I like Nightshade best with a dry writing fine nib which makes it useful on a variety of papers.

Yeah, I find Nightshade to feather worse than any other ink I have tried. Even on quality paper, I notice ever so slight feathering that I do not notice with other inks. It also takes a year and a day to dry....definitely over a minute on certain papers.

 

Still love the ink and use it frequently...it is just a little finicky.

 

Edit: Also, when I look at Nightshade, I don't think of purple....I think it is more of a "brown." Maybe the M200 I use it in is too wet.

In a Pilot Fine (Kakuno) on Clairefontaine paper it is almost black, but in the right light you get the purple/black effect. This is one of my new favorite inks and I was pleased to be able to pick up a discounted bottle on ebay since the previous owner did not like it.

Looks similar to Diamine Damson. A nice neutralized purple.

I actually love the color and always wanted to order this one. But "neutralized"? I see it as more of an aubergine = purple + black/gray + brown type of thing....

with my pens (pelikan twist, Stipula david, Platinum maestro) and in my bottle Purple is very weak . It is good brown ink with a barely noticeable purple hue visible on some types of paper.

      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
