PLEASE NOTE: You are not seeing the exact color of this ink. You are seeing the color as interpreted by my scanner, as compressed using JPEG, and as displayed by your monitor. Is it close to the real thing? Probably somewhat close. But exact it is not.

 

Ergo, therefore and hence, if you would like an honest to goodness, genuine, hand-written sample of this ink, just shoot me a PM and I'll be happy to send you a postcard*.

Ray: I'm loving Diamine inks, too. Once I sample theirs, I'm going to work my way through Noodlers.

 

Goodwhiskers: Thank you for your kind words. I haven't actually used cursive for ...longer than I care to remember. Something about these Diamine inks, however, made me want to try again.

 

Cheers!

Great review! This is one of my favorite purples, as well. I love your "Moxidacious" rating system, Eric!! Looking forward to more reviews from you.

 

Warm regards,

Lynne

The search for the perfect blue ink is a delicious and endless quest...

Great review format, nicely done!

 

It looks from the scan the 'Violet' is another of Diamine's eccentrically-named inks. I'm having a hard time finding much of any red mixed in with the blue.

 

Harumph. PM sent for postcard sample.

I once had this ink but exchanged it because I could not warm up to it. It is clearly violet in real life, somewhat on the bluish side.

 

Most scanners cannot reproduce violets and purples realistically. The show rather a blue tone than the real thing. Even colour correction is rarely precise. Thus most scans and samples I've seen of purples and violets on the internet are misleading.

Breck, I don't think this ink is eccentrically named--see if this review I did sometime ago looks more violet to you...To me, this is about how the ink really looks.

 

Best, Ann

The scan definitely shows this ink to be bluer than it actually is. I find it the perfect lavender ink, and is definitely a violet shade. I love how it comes out a darker shade of purple and dries to the lavender color I was seeking with this ink. Depending on how wet a nib you use you can have some shading occur. It's definitely a well behaved and fun ink to use.

FP Ink Orphanage-Is an ink not working with your pens, not the color you're looking for, is never to see the light of day again?!! If this is you, and the ink is in fine condition otherwise, don't dump it down the sink, or throw it into the trash, send it to me (payment can be negotiated), and I will provide it a nice safe home with love, and a decent meal 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..
    • 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
