Thanks. Very nice review. Is this the ink named also "Purple"? I have all 7 Viscontis and find them all great inks although none of them are labelled anywhere what colour that is. The only thing I don't like is their introduction of the new plastic bottles inside a plasic veil. The older ones on a glass bottle inside a really sturdy and artistic carton were much nicer!

Thank you for posting this review - I think the colour is beautiful... so much so that I'm now Googling where I can buy a bottle from! As 'Lapis' has queried above, is the ink also known as 'purple?' I am unable to find Visconti Plum anywhere online.

 

Much like yourself, I have never tried Visconti ink before but I'm certainly inspired by your post.

 

Great handwriting too! :thumbup:

Doesn't seem to shade.

Never had the chance to try this color. Most people here stopped carrying it when it went to plastic bottles. Think I will after I use up a few gallons of other inks. Wish they'd go back to the nice glass bottles, but like the shade now I've seen it.

I grabbed this ink at Art Brown when it first came out in Feb 2012, but I found it too light for my taste. Georges's wonderful review scans are inspiring me to give it another shot.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
