PROS

• Great, deep purple.
• Shows some shading.
• Has some sheen.
• Highly saturated.
• Looks great in a calligraphy pen! (Such as the Lamy Safari 1.1 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.9 mm)

CONS

• Only available in cartridges in the EU. (What is that? Who makes up these absurd rules?)
• No water resistance.
• Medium difficulty for cleaning - it is a purple, and saturated, after all.

OVERALL

I love purple inks, and a great, saturated purple ink is not all that common. This one is a beautiful deep purple, not so laden with sheen that you can't see the base color, but exciting enough that I want it. A whole darned bottle of it.

I received this item free of charge for the purposes of this review. I was not compensated monetarily for my review. Everything you've read here is my own opinion.
