Thanks for the review. I've wondered about this color. Guess I'll add it to the list of inks to try.

Never be afraid to try something new.

I too waited a long time to try this ink and have been pleasantly surprised. It's really helped the flow of my MB 145. I also like the chalky color when it dries. A turn off for some, but I like the mellow look of the color. Thanks for giving it a review.

Do you like the paper you use for these reviews? It seems as through it has a tendency to cause inks to feather quite a bit on it. Would you say that is accurate?

I do like the paper actually. Very few inks I have feather on it. I can think of about 4 or 5 inks (without looking through my review book) that have feathered on it. That's out of probably 50-55 reviews done on the paper and posted. Oddly enough though too, some of those inks that did feather on this paper, when used in a different pen, did not feather, so its' not always the paper either. I used to use this type of paper exclusively (it was easy and cheap to get through my work, still is actually), but it just got to be a bit overboard to use 110lb paper when could get like 50-60lb paper as well and carry more paper in my notebooks.

Violet Vote does indeed feather a bit on this paper, as indicated in the review.. The way you asked it seemed like you were talking for the majority of my reviews that I do. Inks that feather on this paper are definitely in the minority though.

An intriguing ink -- not quite what I expected, but it looks worth a try. Thank you for the review.

This is one of my favorite inks for writing checks and signing business documents. I have found the ink to be well behaved and very useful. I hope this ink is around for a long time.

I just got this ink for the first time. Pendemonium had been out for a year or so and finally have it back in. I agree with the above review - it's well behaved and tends to dry a bit chalky. However, the waterproof qualities far outweigh the need for vibrancy on the page. And as with several Noodler's colours other than black, there's always the option of mixing in 25%+ of a vibrant colour to make it pop. You'll retain the waterproofness of the Noodler's portion and still have a bright ink. Having mixed Gulfstream Blue and PR American Blue, I can say that it works very well.

I haven't tried Violet Vote, but from my experience La Reine Mauve would be a good choice for anyone looking for a more vibrant alternative.

Just wanted to add, that I tried this ink in another Eversharp Symphony and it did not feather on the cardstock. Goes to prove the point that it's not always the 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
