Customer Reviews
This ink is a nice pinkish purple color but definitely not the burgundy I was hoping for. Glad I got a sample!
This ink looked a bit different on paper than it does on Goulet's swatch photo, but the ink is still quite pleasant to look at. It's a bit browner than I would have liked. It was also quite wet when I wrote with my medium nibbed Pilot Prera, and slightly less wet with a fine nibbed Waterman pen.
Nice color, but the ink is too dry for me.
This ink is nice and saturated but still washes out of my pens very easily.
Not sure how I feel about this ink . . . it seems to very a lot depending on what pen I use. Sometimes it's really dark and looks almost brownish and sometimes it's really light and distinctly purple. It flows just fine and had decent shading, but I'm not sure how I feel about the color.
