Hello, gorgeous! Where have you been all my life?

 

http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af97/Saskia_Madding/Ink%20reviews/Sailor/SankoDo/DSC00274_zps5230317e.jpg

 

 

You know how everyone is always asking about the darkest purple without being black, and everyone says Ebony Purple? I agree that Ebony Purple is gorgeous, but I do find in some pen/ink/paper combinations that the ink actually just looks black.

 

Not so with this ink!

The darker areas do get dark, but it is definitely a purple ink, through and through.

And one that looks great all the time. :D

Because it's not quite as dark as PR Ebony Purple, you can actually see some really yummy shading, where both the dark and light colours are so pretty.

The dry time is also under 40 seconds, which compared to PR EP, is amazing for such a rich, dark, highly saturated colour.

 

the only thing that makes this not perfect is the sheen. It's barely there, even on TR paper.

Even worse, if you mix this ink with a high sheen ink, it actually dulls the sheen of the other ink! I was not thrilled to learn that.

 

http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af97/Saskia_Madding/Ink%20reviews/Sailor/SankoDo/DSC00286_zpsfa916c67.jpg

 

 

Still, if you can learn to love an ink with low (but existent!) sheen, then this ink is one not to miss. I personally set aside my love of sheen for this ink and bought three bottles. :)

Thank you for recommending this one to me Saskia! I loved using it so much that I couldn't get myself to clean the pen before I was done with the fill (which is very unusual for me!)

So where does one get this inky goodness? (Like I really need *more* ink.... :wallbash:)

And would it be possible to see a side by side with PREP (which Is an ink I like but don't use much).

It's actually incredibly easy. Either you contact this guy through ebay - http://www.ebay.ca/usr/cool-japan - by hitting the "contact" button in the top right area, and ask for the ink by name and provide a link to the SankoDo page, or you go to the WRE website and fill in this form here.

 

Either way, you get a quote you pay by paypal, and it arrives at your door. Not unlike most online shopping experiences. :)

Thank you again for your help. You are correct, it is not so difficult. I should have my own bottle at some point now!

That's really pretty.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

You had amazing sheen with your bottle, but like Saskia, it didn't sheen much for me. Nevertheless, I'm super glad I tried it.

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
