Fun Ink Sample

I received this ink in the purple sample set. This is my favorite of the inks in the set. It goes on smoothly, and only skips or false starts when I am scribbling very quickly. Lovely color, comes through clearly purple even when I am writing on non-white paper. I really enjoy playing with the samples, but once this runs out I will buy a full bottle.

A beautiful historic ink

Smooth, rich and classy like Hamilton himself.

Beautiful ink

The feel and the finish of this ink is lovely. The tone has a little more brown to it (a plummy-purple, if you will) than the swatch shows on a screen. But the experience of writing with it is really lovely. I'm so pleased.

Dark Eggplant Purple!

Not surprised at the color since it's also named Aubergine, but it's a nice, behaved deep purple ink! Not a ton of shading due to how dark it is, but f you add a bit of water, you can see more of the eggplant color! Overall a really nice ink to write notes with!

Heavy blackish purple to almost lavender with a touch of water

Love the mood of the shading in this color

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.
