I need some help finding a purple that works for me. Most of the purple/violets I've tried are too dry and unlubricated. Help me find one that's wet and well lubed.

 

I'm not super particular about the color. Somewhere in the purple spectrum is fine.

DA Purpur...purple, found also in the astrology inks for Schuetze...that is the one with the centaur with the bow.

DA Pur purviolet is a purple-violet.

DA Aubergine (eggplant) is a darker purple.

 

DA Royal Blue, is a dark well lubricated blue with a tinge towards purple. When I got this, I gave Waterman Florida Blue to a school kid.

 

All these are well lubricated.

Which have you tried?

Herbin Violette Pensée is wet, but I don't think it's really lubricated.

Sorry, that would have been helpful.

Check out Waterman Purple, it is pretty wet, but not very lubricated. Still, it's a very nice ink. Diamine Bilberry is a much darker purple, so much so that I classify it as a blue. It is also free flowing and it is pretty well lubricated and is currently my favorite ink.

I totally agree. Here was my review.

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

The new formulation of Black Swan in Australian Roses? I inked up my TWSBI Vac700 with it, and the flow is pretty good.

 

Edit to add: Oh, and it's a really nice purple colour.

I really enjoy PR DC Super Violet and Everflo Orchid, both are easy starters and pretty vibrant colors.

Diamine Amazing Amethyst - good flow, reasonable lubrication, beautiful cool toned purple but still with a zing. Suitable for regular daily use.

Nice! I ordered a bottle. I also ordered a bottle of Sailor Shigure.

 

Thanks to everyone here, as well. I ordered a bunch of samples that people suggested to try.

Just got MB lavender-purple today. It's a dark purple....on the copy paper I printed a draft out to edit.

 

I don't know exactly how lubricated it is, in I was using a semi-flex B. Semi-flex is a wetter nib...like all MB inks it is at least medium.

Where did you find MB Lavender? I have checked my local MB boutique and they have never had it in stock each time I checked.

Noodlers V-Mail North African Violet. It has good flow and is a bright saturated purple, however a takes extra effort to clean up and does stain like many purples.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
