Sheening Purple Ink Mix

[Amanda]

A saturated, slightly dusty purple with strong gold sheen(the writing samples below were from a fairly dry pen). Not much shading but diluting with water and using a wetter pen may bring it out. I've had it in my pen for 2 days and the ink doesn't seem to be doing anything strange, not too sure about staining but none of the inks used in the mix usually stains much.

I don't have the exact ratio but it's mostly pilot iroshizuku Yama budo with some shin-Kai and blue denim(Robert oster), possibly 4:1:1.

Lubrication:4/5

Flow:4/5

Dry time:4/5

Water resistance:3/5(runs but definitely readable)

No bleedthrough or feathering, slight show through on the copier paper.

Sorry for the sloppy photos, I did try to take them in different lighting situations.

I might try diluting it or playing with the ratio if anyone's interested. 😊

Yes, I like it.

Me too! Wish there was a "sheen additive" ....

Very nice.

Awesome color!!!

It reminds me a lil'bit Lamy Dark Lilac!!

 

I got something really dark and showing an amazing sheen mixing Sailors Oku-Yama and Yama-Dori!

Mixing 50/50 of this I got something closer do Sailor Shigure with a gold-green sheen...

 

 

I'll come up with some pictures soon!

This is great Amanda and you’ve inspired me to have a play with these 2 Iroshi inks.
