Noodler's Violet

Recommended Posts

I picked up Noodler's Violet in the same ink order as the Black, Gruene Cactus, Habanero and Antietam. I had tested it at the DC pen show at the Ink Table. (That table is the reason why 8 new inks came my way this week.... evil table....) However, this color is not like what I had tested at the pen show. The color at the pen show was a violet- a clear clear purple with not too many reddish tones and certainly no earthy tones. The bottle says "violet". The ink is the color of eggplant. More of a deep earthy warm blackish purple. It is a pretty color, and I like it a lot, but it is not what I was expecting. It behaves well like all of the standard series inks I've tried so far. It is very saturated and doesn't feather at least on this paper (Walmart notebook), there is a tad of bleedthrough, but this is super thin cheapo paper. It flows nicely, lubricates nicely and has some shading. That last mark on the dry time is 30 seconds... forgot to write that on there apparently. Sorry!

Are you sure that you tried Noodler's Violet? Just asking since the SHOW color was PR DC Supershow Violet.

It was Noodler's- in a Noodler's bottle and labeled "Violet" and in the section with the rest of the Noodler's ink. It was a cooler, clear purple-violet, not as warm as the samples I've seen posted of the PR Supershow Violet. I never saw the PR DC Supershow Violet at the show, and didn't realize that a new color had been made for the show until I saw a post here later.

 

This is what the sample I tried at the show looked like: Noodler's Violet

So sorry, didn't mean to offend. Just offering a possible reason for the difference in color.

Stunning ink!

 

Perhaps the bottle at the show hadn't been shaken or some such other cause was the reason behind the lightening...

My bottle has much red in it. At first look, I though it is burgundy with a wrong label. But I like the color anyway. It's a good behavior ink.

My first thought is the lighting at the show. I haven't been to the locale but the indoor lighting at large venues almost never matches household or sunlight, sometimes it's off by a LOT and can completely change the appearance of some colors.

The ink at the show could have been North African violet, I think that matches the OP's description. However, I like this color a lot and might order it.

It wasn't one of the Vmail inks that I tried, just standard series violet, and not waterproof or anything like that. I posted a link a few pages in that has a color swab of the standard violet. The color swab matches what I tried at the show. Either way, I still like this ink, the murky eggplant color is attractive. The PR Tanzanite is a bit bluer than the violet swab, but is a great violet blue color, so I don't really need another in that range. The eggplant color is unique and definitely not like any of the other colors I have-so this surprise worked out better than if it has been like the color swab (then I would have two similar violets). It's something I can use at work since it is well behaved and a deep, subtle color.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
