Ondina, that's a lovely color. Thanks much for posting your scan!

What ratio would you use? Purple to navy, that is. Thanks! HP

The ink was an exchange back in April and I could not remember for the life of me the proportion used to replicate the color, HennyPenny, my excuses. The color was so nice that I wanted to use it as a personal purple without the starting up/skipping issues, and the result got pretty close, but not as saturated. Now, I would also try to add a drop of Diamine's Majestic Blue, that may help to give the mix a darker Blue shade and the saturation needed for an even more exact replica.

If you suceed, please post results, is a lovely shade of purple.

It is!. If is hard for you to get, and you want to try to replicate it, please read what I just suggested above. Mayestic Blue may help to get the exact tones. Good luck with it!.

"A gentleman is always a gentleman". The original quote is not mine, but thanks, Craig, for viewing the review and for the gentleness.

Waterman purple (1 part) with Quink Blue (2 parts) is just a tad lighter.

 

I got something close with Waterman purple (1 part), Quink Blue (1 part) and Aurora Blue (1 part).

 

I love them both!!!

Thank you for the update, liapuyat. 1 part Waterman Purple + 1 part Waterman F.Blue + 1/2 parts Diamine Majestic gets pretty close, also.

This is definitely my favorite purple ink. I have it in my periwinkle True Writer, and it's so luscious. Great review!
