Well behaved

Well behaved ink, in an interesting color. Works well in every pen I've tried it in. Some lights it's fuchsia, others it's more purple. I think it's not my favorite purple, but that's not the ink's fault, so 5 stars.

Gorgeous

I've been using this ink since I got it. It's a great color and flows great.

Pretty!

This is a pretty, pinkish purple with some shading and great flow. I am wondering if this is simply a re-release of the purple ink from their discontinued line, though. I compared the two inks in the same two pens and if there is any difference, Purple Reign may be very slightly more pink. What a wonder a new name will do! My old MV Purple was sitting in my ink box barely used, now I like it! If you liked their old purple ink, you'll like this one.

You know Magenta from Blue's Clues?

Yeah, this is definitely like the dark spots on Magenta from Blue's Clues. It's like the most adult magenta color. I got it in a random ink sample so I didn't know I'd be getting this. I would have honestly not gotten it just by looking at the swatch, but I'm really glad I did. I got a sample of Noodler's Cactus Fruit Eel on purpose so I might have to choose between the two in getting a bottle.

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.
