Purple is my Thing!f

I love purple ink. It makes me feel good writing with it. My new purple from Monteverde is lovely- dark and mysterious.

Saturated may require a bit of water.

This is my first experience with this kind of ink, it's a little sticky and I'm writing with a Twsbi extra fine nib, so it's coming a little bit closer to black. I haven't been too strict with it but I bought just a sample so I'm playing with all sorts of ink. A sample is cheap and worth the purchase to have ink to play with and be sure it comes out the way you want it to. The fact that it is so saturated and leans more toward black is better for me because I am interested in black with a hint of purple and halloween is coming out so it feels right for the gothic fall/winter season.

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.

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.
