Wow! This is an incredible resource!

Thank you so very much for all the time and effort you put into this!

I love how thorough you were!

And that is a lot of purples! I thought I had tried a lot of purples - but goodness, you have way more purples than me! Some of these inks I don't have any easy access to, but they are still amazing to see how they all compare side by side.

Thank you so much for this wonderful purple treasure! :)

Nice work. Right now, my purple inks are Poussiere de Lune and PR's Plum, which you didn't happen to review but seems to be in between Iroshizuku's Yama-Budo and Murasaki-Shibu, which you didn't review as well (can't have them all...). I have both loaded up in pens. If I were to buy more ink (oh dear) then it would be African Violet, Majestic Purple or Ebony Purple. As usual, the Japanese inks have that je ne sais quois pas and i'm always intrigued by them.

Thank you so much for this. I love purples, and this is so much more convenient than even the Goulet swatch shop (not to knock the Goulets).

I got a set of pinks and roses from the Goulets and you know, sometimes looking at the color tests is a lot more satisfying than putting them in a pen and then going "meh." But both those activities are cheaper than buying an entire bottle of Iroshizuku and going "meh!"

Amazing.

 

Thank you for putting effort into compiling the list. I said I wouldn't purchase any inks for a while but this has made me think again.

At the risk of being redundant I can only echo everyone. Thank you.

This is a Herculean effort and I'm saving the link to this. This is not one I want to get lost in the shuffle of my memory

Thanks a lot.

Wow thank you so much for posting this!

 

I think my favorite (besides BSiAR) is the MB Violet.

Gob smacked!

 

Thank you for the wonderful comparison and for having taken on this Herculean task! The only purple I have tried up to now is the Montblanc Lavender purple and I love this colour and the shading of this ink. However, I might try Poussière de Lune one day!

Okay, I admit, I've bought more inks since seeing this comprehensive comparison!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      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
