This ink not only has an interesting story, but it's also become quite popular lately because of limited supply. I ordered my bottle from JetPens (scoring some FREE shipping) and it came with a Preppy eyedropper and what looks like a Pentel or Sakura brush pen (logos removed) for asian writing. I filled the Preppy and began writing; I will test the brush later.

Overall, this is a perfect purple ink, with deep and rich color. I haven't had any maintenance problems with the Preppy, but I will soon mix up a water/ink dilution and try this out in some other pens. If you can score this ink and afford this ink, I'd recommend it. Dilution may stretch supplies of this ink out once it is no longer produced.

Okay, so another thread re Kung te Cheng inspired me to fire up a Hero 616 with the said ink. That way, if the ink eats the pen, it doesn't cost much to replace the pen. So far, second day, it writes better than the Preppy, which it did from day one. The 616's I get have all been good writers; no bad ones yet.

I have 3 of them and only one needed a little nib adjustment. I have Hero Carbon, Noodler's Red Black and Zhivago in 616s. Kung T Chung will be excellent in a 616!

OK, your excellent review was the tipping point and I just ordered a bottle online.

Thank you for a beautiful review for both the mind and eyes!

You're welcome! I write like a palsied chimpanzee, but I am trying to get better. I have a couple of other Noodler's inks to review, too. Hope to get those up, soon.

My bottle of Kung Te Chung looks a lot more purple than the scan.

I have a nearly-full bottle of it that was given to me by a good friend. It's by far my favorite shade of purple!

I use it sparingly!

      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
