I am using this ink daily and also in my journal entries!

With Visconti HS it does display the "sheen" effect very well!

With a Peli M800, its just a beautiful ink, without a sheen though...

 

Just love this ink, replaces PR Tanzanite in my heart.... :puddle:

a beautiful color. I don't usually use purple but my wife had purchased a bottle for herself and I thought I would try it my Lamy 27 OB. Stunning color.

I have both the old Montblanc Violet and the new Montblanc Lavendar Violet. They appear to be exactly the same ink, perform the same as well as look the same.

 

Would not willingly be without a pen with this color in it.

 

Enjoy,

 

PS: And I love both the old and new Montblanc shoe bottles as well.

Yours,
Randal

I just got a sample of this ink. I wanted to mention the reddish/iridescent sheen that appears on the surface, just like Diamine Majestic Blue. It's a pretty cool effect & I don't remember if anyone else has pointed it out. I wonder if the new Lavender has the same property, since it's been reported to be identical otherwise?

 

As you might expect it's hell to capture in a photograph, but here are my attempts:

 

From straight above, no sheen:

From an angle, the sheen has a trippy red-green effect:

I know I am resurrecting a really old thread.

 

I also know this ink is now called Lavender Purple.

 

What I don't know is how you got that AMAZING SHEEN!!!

 

What pen, nib, and paper did you use?

 

Have other people noticed sheen with this ink frequently? Or is sheen less common with this ink?

Wait... Tessy, the new Lavender Purple is a different ink.

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

Oh I thought they were the same. oops!

Are they totally different? Some pics seem to show they are really similar?

I thought LP was just the newer version of Violet....please set it all straight!
