Noodler's Purple Wampum

[dizzypen]

I received this ink in a trade with someone on this board.

 

I have to say that I LOVE the deep dark purple with gray/black undertones. It is definitely purple in appearance, but sufficiently dark to be used for everyday purposes (even at work depending on your field and work environment).

 

A few key observations:

This ink has a very wet flow and it will feather in a wet writer if used on cheap paper. It really shines in a dry writer with a F/M nib.

I didn't notice any nib creep.

Bleedthrough was only an issue if used with a wet writer.

It dries very quickly even in a wet writer (2 seconds or so).

It was downloaded from the sticky at the top of this forum. I can't take credit for that.

This reminds me that I need to drain Le Reine Mauve from my Pelikan 150 and throw some Wampum in there. Wampum is a wonderful ink!!
