If you have Salix, try mixing the two, they are terrific together.

Here's a sample of KWZ Gummi Berry for the thread:

I wanted to see how the Monteverde Purple (my first ink by that manufacturer —with "ITF Technology®"!) compared to the KZW Gummi Berry:

Looking good.

I am counting down until next year when they open HP world in Cali. We will definitely take a family vacation there!

A vintage ink that deserves attention. It dries very light, but it's a lovely shade.

A bit brighter and more saturated is J. Herbin's Violette Pensée. In terms of hue and tint, almost identical to the scented Violette, and since the scent reminds me of my mother's perfume from when we were little, I'll go with the scented version. Thanks for sharing, Cindy!

The scented J. Herbin Violette has a terribly pale colour. It feathers a ton. And that smell is overwhelming. I dumped it before finishing a converter of it. After a few weeks and several other inks, the pen still smells of that Violette. It's like a lingering nightmare.

Well, that's what makes us all different. I love the scent, and I love the color. Sorry it didn't work for you. It's one of my all-time favorites...

If we weren't living so far away I would gladly give you my 10ml bottle of it!

I know people love and hate the Pelikan Edelstein series of inks, but I have had mostly excellent experiences with the colors I've tried.

 

The 2015 ink is probably my favorite so far: Amethyst. I LOVE this ink.

 

Just exactly right in so many ways. The one thing I'll need to check on is 1) whether it fades in sunlight, and 2) if it stains celluloid pens. I'm getting the sense that it may be a stainer, but I'll need to investigate that a bit further.

We shall have to do some comparisons.

Correct me if I am wrong, isn't the regular J.H. Violette Pensee better behaved and more saturated than the scented version? I used to have it . . . it too has a scent of violets but it is subtle, not overpowering at all.

One of my favorite inks ~ Monteverde Purple.

It is more vibrant in real life. I can not seem to catch the beauty of this ink on the screen...it is gorgeous. Get a sample, you may fall in love like I did....

Nice demonstration of the ink. That's pretty close to the color I see on paper!
