A nice dark purple again

There are times when you can't tell the different shades of different inks.
I was just buying different shades and brands. This is nice and wet dark purple.

Beautiful and well behaved

I'm buying a bottle of this. It is gorgeous! The color is just as it looks on my monitor: a bright, slightly violet shade of purple. It is not water resistant. bulletproof, or anything. It's just a great basic lovely ink. I have it in my Piolet Violet Custom 74 with a broad nib. It is wet, flows beautifully, and doesn't bleed through on Rhodia paper. The only other thing I have to say about it is, why didn't I buy this sooner??? It's a gorgeous ink.

Too dry for me!

Bought this ink with several other samples. Love to sample ink before I purchase my favorites in a bottle. Okay color but way too dry. If you like this color try Noodler's Violet, very similar in color but not near as dry.

Drier ink

It's gorgeous, with lovely shading, but it writes very dry. I'd give it the fifth star if it wasn't for that.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

Check out our blog post on How to Fill a Fountain Pen from an Ink Sample Vial, or watch the video here:

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
