Today’s ink is Diamine Majestic Purple. I purchased my bottle of ink from Cult Pens.

The color:

Majestic Purple is a medium violet purple.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a bit of shading but no sheen.

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

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

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was some feathering in most nib sizes and just a few dots of bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Majestic Purple is more red than Diamine Lavender, but less red than Diamine Imperial Purple. Click here to see the Diamine inks together, and click here to see the purple inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Pilot VP Tropical Turquoise with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, it’s a lovely ink. It has a nice color and well behaved.
