Thanks for the attractive, succinct review. This color looks like it has a brightness to it, as though it jumps off the page. Is it that way, or is it just on my monitor?

Gran, I think it's just your monitor. While I love and use amethyst regularly, I would not describe it as bright and it certainly does not jump off the page. Still, it is a lovely dark purple. I've been using it for a couple years now. Before I found FPN ( ) it was the only FP ink I used.

Man that's a different review than I gave it a while back. Shows what pen and paper combos will do with an ink. The ink I had feathered horribly bad on many of the papers I used. It was a lovely ink, but the feathering killed it for me

 

Nice review of it though!

Thanks for the nice words.

While I won't call this color "bright", it certainly is "intense". The "jumps off the page" part is what I feel too.

It certainly is a very wet ink and shows quite some bleed through on copy paper. However, the feathering was not really noticeable. I saw your review and agree that pen/paper combo is pretty important. One more reason to get more pens.
