I got this sample because I loved the look of it. I've watched several videos and in every one it had an interesting red-ish purple-ish colour I adored. What I got may have been an incidental colour change due to some ingredient being changed or just a bad batch. It was grey with maybe the slightest hint of purple, I actually think it wasn't too bad. My biggest issue is this ink is the worst behaved ink I've ever used. It could barely write. I had to use more force than I'm comfortable with just to get it on the page.

This is a nice flowing and well saturated ink that displays some fairly impressive shading. That said, it is a bit too brown for my tastes and sort of hard to distinguish from a dark brown like R&K Sepia. I wish a little more red or purple would show through, then this ink would really pop.

I love the color of this ink!, dark enough to use for normal (business) usage, and just different enough for my addled brain to notice the difference. Very well behaving (a tiny bit of feathering on some very absorbent paper) using a wet pen. The missing star is due to it not being bulletproof.

I had no idea what to expect with this ink in way of color. As it turns out, I really like it. It works as a nice black-ish color with some really neat reddish/brown highlights to my writing.

Subtle color with a hint of purple. Easy to pass off on paperwork, which is fun. It means I can use it as an everyday pen with no problems. Little to no bleed.
