Customer Reviews
I’ve tried this ink in 3 different pens and it writes so nicely in all of them. It’s a great shade of purple.
It's wonderful ink. The purple is rich and purply and it flows very well. The only thing is, I have been looking for a lighter, pinker purple color�exactly like what's in the image, and this is quite a bit darker in real life. Alas. Maybe some day.
Beautiful and Vibrant.
My go-to purple ink is Pelikan 4001 Violet, which is a true purple. But when I want a more vibrant, redder purple, Purple Reign is the ticket to nirvana. It has generous flow, and always starts immediately in a 1.1mm stub nib, my nib of choice. I haven't noticed much shading, but I haven't looked for it. I mostly use Purple Reign to call attention to special items in my engineering notes, wherein my usual choice of ink is Iroshizuki Tsuki-yo (a darkish teal). The color contrast between than and Purple Reign is excellent. Purple Reign has good saturation; no wimpy fading to a paler shadow of itself when it dries. It has somewhat better water resistance than the Iroshizuku inks I use (they have almost none). Drying time is a little faster than average; it never smears on the engineering note pad paper I generally use. My only complaint: I wish it were available in the larger (90ml.) bottle. But it's still reasonably priced in the 30ml. bottle. I suspect that a bright, vivid ink like Purple Reign appeals to a limited category of pen users; in other words, either you'd really like an ink like this, or you wouldn't even consider it. If you're in the former group, you'll probably love it. For my part, I never intend to be without it.
I love this ink. It's such a beautiful color and a pleasure to write with.
