In large swabs you can see a little bit darkening around the edges.
Writing samples:
Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.
Dry time: 30 seconds
Water resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: Low-there was just a little bit of bleeding, mainly in the flex nib.
Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.
On 20 pound copy paper the ink behaved well, no issues that I noticed.
Comparison Swabs:
Ink swabs for comparison, left to right (top to bottom for mobile RSS): Pen Saijiki Ebizome, Colorverse Einstein Ring, and Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-budo. Click here to see the Colorverse inks together. Yama-budo seems the closest in color.
Diamine Purple Dream, KWZ Gummiberry, and Montblanc Beatles. Click here to see the purple inks together.
Overall, I love the color of this ink. It's a lovely bright magenta, with a little bit of shading, and well behaved too.
