on saleNoodler's Purple - Ink Sample

I bought this sample for my wife to try. She was not a fountain pen person, but this purple in a Lamy Safari fine nib beats any ballpoint purple on the market.

It is not the color I wanted, not quite as pure and bright as I had hoped.Wrote smoothly. New Ahab pen. I'm not sure if I did something wrong but the ink kept leaking out into the nib and getting in the lid and I ended up dumping it out. I used the Ahab portable cartridges for the first time. I had used the pen with Blue ink first and did not have problems but maybe I did something when I cleaned it out to put the purple in. I am glad I could try sample size first.

Bought a sample a month ago and despite it being not black, I've used it a lot! Beautiful, bold color, runs well through a Lamy Safari, EF nib, no feathering and very little running. Absolutely love it.

Color is a completely subjective preference and I've always loved purple. I ordered 8 samples from blue-purple to magenta-purple to find the tone that suited me best. This is a review of Noodler's purple. I tend toward the demonstrative not the subdued. I like strong, saturated color with little shading and no question about what color I'm using.Noodler's purple was the second sample I've tested. It is wet and smooth writing with no bleed or feathering on good paper but feathers slightly and bleeds significantly on cheap paper. No writing possible on the back of my notebook pages. It's very dark�almost purple-black with more density than color. It's purple-ish but mostly dark, almost opaque on good paper. It is lighter, with more color showing through, on my cheap notebooks. I like the color better on cheap paper. The photo on the website looks brighter and more vibrant than my experience. I like Noodler's inks and love the opportunity to test new colors before settling on a large bottle. This service is just one of the labor-intense, customer-centric services from Goulet Pens and one reason many of us come back again and again.

So beautiful! Rich saturated tones, write beautifully
