I have dozens of purple inks . . .

. . . And this is my favorite, by far.

Perfect Purple for Spring

This was my first attempt at a Sailor ink and it did not disappoint! I bought this to go with my Kaweco Light Lavender pen and they compliment each other nicely. While the Kaweco is lighter the Sailor ink is dark enough to be legible, while not too bright that it hurts your eyes to stare at. There were no hard starts and the ink was well behaved on different paper types. As far as the color, it is a true violet. It reminds me of the wisteria blooming right now or the stone tanzanite which has both blue and purple tones to it. In a Fine nib I did not have any shading or sheening with this ink. However, the quick dry time was appreciative as a leftie. If you are a fan of purple I suggest giving this one a try!

Blurple!!

Beautiful and saturated blue/purple ink. Nice wet flow, even in drier nibs.

Beautiful but pricey

Excellent ink. Beautiful color that changes as it dries. Lovely shading and calming feel. Glad I got this while prices were reasonable...

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink. You can also refill an empty ink cartridge from bottled ink using an ink syringe.
