It lays down a smooth, clean line and the color is light enough to pop, but still dark enough to produce rich pools of purple goodness. This purple hits the mark for me when it comes to the definition of purple in my head. Everyone's brain is wired differently when it comes to color, and mine is naturally drawn to bright blues, rich blue greens, fiery oranges, and deep pinks. Purple inks aren't always in my rotation, but they continue to fascinate me. Probably not Field Notes friendly, but perfectly fine for thicker, more absorbent papers. This is to be expected for any medium or dark ink, so it's just another point of consideration. This is definitely something you should consider if fast dry times are high on your list.įeathering and bleeding are almost non-existent with this ink, although it does tend to show-through to the back of the page quite easily. That's an incredibly fast dry time for any fountain pen ink. I tried several times and always came back to the 10-second mark consistently. Like the Chiku-rin I reviewed, I was really impressed (shocked) by the dry time of this ink. Sometimes, a solid standard purple is in the cards, and this is now one of my go-to inks for that purpose. KWC Gummiberry is a fun ink, but it's also quite a bit darker than this Pilot. It's not so bright that it calls unnecessary attention, but it stands out enough to be fun. Most of my previous experience with purple and violet inks is darker than what Murasaki-shikibu offers, and that's part of the delight I enjoy when using it.
Pilot Iroshizuku Murasaki-shikibu is a purple ink that I think hits a perfect balance of "purple" that works well when you want a standard purple ink to use in your pen. I've always enjoyed using Waterman Tender Purple, but it's a bit bright and has some blue notes. Dark purple, light purple, blue and gray notes, etc. I've tried out several different purple/violet inks over the years, and I'm always surprised by how much variation an ink can achieve in the purple hue.
