Hello Friends,

 

Long time! It's been a unique 12 months but here we are. I am delighted to post this review, I've been in search of this deep, luscious, dark, purple for a very long time. I've tried mixing my own of course, but this one just hits the spot! Now as an aside, I received an email from Pure Pens to say new shiny goodies in stock including this ink YESTERDAY afternoon, and the inkoholic that I am, I ordered straight away, and well, it was in my hands at 9.08 this morning. Thank you @Pure Pens for excellent service! I've been saving my Purple Sheaffer Prelude evidently for this very moment... :wub:

 

Without further ado:

If there is righteousness in the heart, There will be beauty in character. If there is beauty in character, There will be harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, There will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world. Bhagawan Shri Satya Sai Baba

Glad to hear you found your purple!! Looks beautiful! I've been looking for a dark but fun purple too (even though I am not a purple person); will have to check this one out.

Is this a new ink? An exclusive for that vendor? Or will it be part of Diamine's regular lineup in future?

Because it does look quite nice. (Like I really need another purple ink... :blush:).

Thanks for the review. And, well, not.... :wallbash:

Hi Ruth!

 

This is from their email:

'...we were also pleasantly surprised to receive another two Diamine Limited Edition inks, as voted for by members of the Fountain Pens UK Facebook group - Scribble Purple and Monboddos Hat - available in 80ml bottles...'

 

From this I understand it is an LE but not exclusive to Pure Pens. They have also created Alexandrite to celebrate their 15th year in business, and that is exclusive to Pure Pens.

 

And who can't find a little room for such a gorgeous, dark purple... :lol:

Thank you for this enticing review.

 

Is this new ink really much darker than Shigure or KWZ Violet #3?

 

Does it change color as it dries?

 

Does it flow well throughout a long writing session?

You're welcome! I've done a few comparisons below for you, I experienced no issues whilst writing for about 2 hours. I noted a very slight change, but please be aware that this was a brand new freshly inked pen. I hope these help.

 

*edit: I find it very close to Shigure in flow, lubrication, saturation, sheen and dry time! Almost indistinguishable, but I imagine Diamine's is more easily available and cheaper!

And just for fun, the KWZI IG Violet #3 next to Sailor Jentle Shigure before it changed colour!

This is pretty! Like a slightly darker version of Diamine Bilberry, right down to the gold sheen :3

Thank you! I have a bottle of Shigure, which means I won't be needing this ink, at least for now.

 

As fast as KWZ IG Violet #3 changes color, you must have moved quickly to get the shot.

 

All nice inks.

Agreed! I've tried getting before and after photos of IG inks and couldn't get the camera up to my face fast enough. The only thing I can think to do it would be to get a tripod that I could set up to have the camera facing down and even then maybe do a video and edit down to a single frame....

Had my phone camera primed and ready! Swipe cue tip, click! I was so pleased to capture the beautiful pink.

Hi folks, just to answer the availability questions; these inks were developed with the input of the Fountain Pens UK group on Facebook, but are part of the standard Diamine range so not unique to anywhere. Scribble Purple is the darker and wetter of the two, while Monboddo's Hat is, err pictured in my user icon! Thanks to Bhavna for the lovely review.

Looks like an Eclipse-Lite

Haven't heard of that. Feel free to post a shot.

Wow, thank you! I am sure I have this in my ink vault! Something to investigate in the morning... What I do remember is that my Eclipse was a blue-black. The morning shall shed light on the matter! Edited by Bhavna

      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
