on saleDe Atramentis Purple Violet - Ink Sample

This is a beautiful purple, it is exactly what I picture when I think, "purple". It is, for me, however, too wet. It seems to take a long time to dry and I smudged it horribly long after I thought it would be dry. I have only tried it with a medium nib, and that may be the problem, I tend toward fine and extra fine, but I think I will have the same result. As a lefty, especially, this is too wet for me.

Purple is my jam. I LOVE purple, so of course, in my short journey through Fountain Pen World, I've sampled some purples, but they just haven't made my heart sing like this Magenta Violet. I received a sample in the Vibrant Sample pack, and it was love at first sight. It's a fairly wet ink and I do get some very light shading with my medium nibbed pen. I have it inked up in my Kaweco Sport - Medium. I'd like to try it in one of my fine nib pens as soon as I run one dry. :)

Several months ago after placing an order with the Goulet Pen Company, I received my shipment with the cute thank-you note on the receipt using the most beautiful purple ink. Upon reading the title of the ink, I saw it was De Atramentis Magenta Violet. It should be noted that I REALLY dislike purple ink but if there was ever one I would buy THIS would be it! I chose to go with an ink sample to start with, as I didn't want to buy an entire bottle just to hate it. Well now that I have tried it, I will definitely be purchasing a bottle! The ink, technically speaking, doesn't have a huge shading palate but does flow quite wet and even. It is what I would call a good, standard ink. Highly recommended! 5 out of 5 stars.

I purchased think ink to replace my Private Reserve - Tanzanite, which I had some issues with. The stability of this ink and the flow are significantly better with a similar color and better shading. I highly recommend trying this ink!

I ordered a sample of this to try since I didn't have any purple shades in my ink stash. I liked it more than I thought I would! The ink is quite smooth in both my Lamy Safari EF and in my Nemosine Singularity EF. The color was bold enough for daily use with a shade other than black, which was my desire.
