This is my favorite for a water resistant wet vivid purple.

How are folks getting KWZI these days? That is beautiful and I really like purple ink for my personal writing.

You can order directly from Konrad on his website or wait until the next group buy.

I also like the darker purples. Two of my favorites are Montblanc Lavender Purple and J. Herbin Poussiere de Lune, although they might be too red-tinged for your taste. Another really interesting ink is Rohrer and Klingner Scabiosa, which is a lilac gray, not at all tinged with red, but highly variable in how dark it is on different papers.

 

I am starting to think that I got an anomalous bottle of Diamine Grape. Mine is so close to black that at work everyone has assumed it is black.

Another vote for the Montblanc Lavender Purple, I am not a huge purple fan but I do really enjoy this ink from time to time. I do not have any images but there is a review on it here at https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/228303-mont-blanc-lavender-purple/

When is the next group buy?

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

The Montblanc Lavender Purple is one of my favourite inks. It's a nice dark purple with beautiful (almost black) shading.

 

Here's a little video review:

Don't forget to add that to the purple thread.

There is another good blue purple from Sailor special store series by Kingdom Note, called Sasakia Charonda (O-Murasaki) which I enjoy. It's the latin name of this particular butterfly in Japan. I just remembered it as you mentioned the Japanese companies. I have a writing sample of it from another thread that I posted a little while ago. This ink behaves well just as many other Sailor inks, has great flow, and doesn't stain my demonstrator pens too badly. But purple inks are purple inks, I wouldn't put them in pure white pens for example.

That is a beautiful color. It is so hard to choose a purple.

It seems to me that finding a purple/violet ink that does not look like a blue ink is a tough job. (For me at least.) I must continue the hunt.

Try Diamine Grape, for me it seems a bit reddish for my taste

Thanks for posting those swabs! I have four from that list, but now I need to get a few more of those colours. Purples are my fave! :)

      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..

      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
