Private Reserve Ebony Purple - 60ml Bottled Ink

I saw Ebony Purple on a YouTube video. I wanted a new ink color that wasn’t blue or basic black. The subtle addition of purple gives this black ink a little more dimension than black or gray/black.

Great Ink

Love Ebony Purple. Performs well across several pen and nib types. It's black without being totally black; just a hint of purple.

Would have loved it, if it were at all purple

Used mostly on cheap and middle of the road paper, not expensive. I found that for me, it was entirely black, not even the faintest bit of purple showed through. Worst bleed through of any inks I've tried so far, but when writing with inks, I don't use both sides of the paper anyway. It did not bleed onto the next page, which is very good. Noticeable feathering, but not bad for the paper I use. Fastest dry time, it's hard to believe how fast this dries, just one to five seconds. Water causes this ink to run a lot, very easily. Yet it still leaves enough ink on the page, so you can read what was written. Oddly, it turns blue in water. It is a good amount for a good price. Overall, it is a good ink and I did enjoy it, but since it is only black, I have far superior blacks than this that are also cheaper, so will only use those from now on.
