Ink Review #1798: Private Reserve Infinity Violet

Private Reserve Infinity Violet is from Private Reserve’s Infinity collection. These inks are designed to perform well even if you leave the cap off your pen for a while. You can find this ink for sale at Vanness Pens.

The color:

Violet is a medium purple ink.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has some pretty shading.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

*For my writing samples I use:

• EF Pilot Vanishing Point

• F, M, B Pilot Ishime

• Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)

• Rhodia Goalbook

• Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)

• Leuchtturm A5

• Pen & Gear Paper from Walmart

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper there is some feathering in all nib sizes as well as a bit of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Violet is closest to Colorverse Hayabusa. Click here to see the purple inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Kaweco Al-sport Violet with a medium nib on a Taroko Breeze notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this ink does what it’s supposed to do-it flows well even when you leave your pen cap off for a while.
