@Fozzie, glad to help. Send me your name and addy and I'll write you a letter with some purples that I have currently inked.

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

Wow. The Amethyst looks mighty ... almost ... perfect. How does it behave? Temper tantrums or can you can take it out to formal affairs? :lticaptd:

 

Thanks.

 

Cheers.

My ink-swap post(s) become out of date eventually. My signature is always current. If you want to swap some ink, here's what I have: Diamine: Ancient Copper, Oxblood, Poppy Red, Red Dragon, Sherwood Green; Iroshizuku: Kon-peki, Ku-jaku, Take-sumi; Noodlers: 54th Mass, BSB, Purple Martin, X-Feather, Widow Maker; Private Reserve: Blue Suede. I'm partial to highly saturated inks, but am open to suggestions. PM if interested.

It's a little too dry for me. The MB Violet is also quite similar.

I use this ink in my Parker Duofold Mandarin Yellow (Limited Edition 1995) and it's perfect for me. No clogging and a smooth flow.

The color is very rich. Great quality.

Fozzie, here's the list of purples I'm working with, comprising suggestions from lots of other purple fans including lovely FPN people - those in purple I've already reviewed and are either up already, or soon will be, on Too Many Purples ('way too many pictures to copy here!). Some of the others may also appear before too long, although there are some highly elusive purples out there. Let me know if you manage to track down any of those obscure Sailor numbers : )

You should add the Roberson's Penman Classic Inks. I have Violet Agate and Lilac Agate if you'd like samples?

Oo, thanks for the tip-off! I actually wandered into Cornelissen's just the other day and didn't spot these - I shall look harder next time. Both the Agate's look interesting indeed - what sort of pen are you using them in?

The last pen I had the Violet Agate in was a Sheaffer No-Nonsense italic fine, which is actually more like a generous medium. These inks have a lovely vintage look - they are called 'transparent' on the label, but they actually show up well on the page.

      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
