Ink Review #1260: Monteverde Purple Mist

Purple Mist is a fabulous light purple. I absolutely love the light purples, especially in the spring. You can find this ink at Pen Chalet (aff. link) or Vanness Pens.

The color:

Purple Mist is a pale lilac purple.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink looks amazing with plenty of shading.

Writing samples:

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

Dry time: 15 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was some feathering in most nib sizes but no bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Purple Mist is a little bit lighter than Pilot Iroshizuku Jurojin. Click here to see the Monteverde inks together, and click here to see the purple inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Platinum 3776 Nice Lavande with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a wet flow.

Overall, I rather love this ink and need to get a full bottle. It can be a bit light in writing, especially in the smaller nibs, (it’s probably going to be too light for most users) but I’m still crazy about this color regardless.
