I'll start off by saying that I think out of the inks I got at LA, this is the winner.

I don't think this is one of my better splashes.

 

If you're seeing blues and purples in this, you are not insane. The ink, however, is so mind-boggleingly complex that it's hard to describe the color. It also behaves extraordinarily well - it doesn't bleed except on the worst of papers, and doesn't feather. No water resistance to note of, however. It also may feel dry in pens with less flow.

It sheens a strange purple, but of the matte sort. No Majestic blue/PPS going on here.

Pen used: Conklin 2NL with a Platinum nib

Excellent review of a very interesting color. We are certainly in the Golden Age of inks.

And isn't it a great adventure? I have purchased close to 20 inks in the past month & am just as happy with each arrival as I can be. Trying the new inks in "old friend" pens makes it a wonderful way to cope with winter weather.

Oooh. Waaaant! Must HAAAAAAVE!

I don't normally like browns that lean red (or burgundy inks, for that matter). But I like this one....

Sigh. I really need to stop reading ink reviews.... It always ends up as a case of "Danger, danger Will Robinson!"

I'm so glad I could try this one! I love it!

+1 It's somber enough for professional use but the mauve-y hint makes it fun. And it's very well behaved.

Life's too short to use crappy pens.  -carlos.q

      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
