I've used this ink for a while now in a couple of different pens and I've been very pleased with it--very well-behaved ink, consistent color. some shading. It's a keeper in my book!

I have had a regular experience with this ink. I ordered it expecting an "amazing" color, and received a dark and dull purple instead. Probably it was my mistake, I expected a brilliant color, and this one is opaque and dull. It is a mixture between purple and grey. I am giving it a second chance just now, but it does not convince me yet. My standard is MB burgundy. Still my favorite. Imperial purple is on his way, should be arriving in 2 to 3 weeks

Try Noodler's Purple.

AA is not "brilliant", more subtle, whispers rather than shouts.
