I've decided to "translate" my handwriting into computer text for you. Mainly, since it's pretty unreadable at times. :) The parts that are underlined are notes that have been added to the review since I wrote it.

Ink Review: Private Reserve Purple Mojo
Pen and nib: Pelikan M805 with an XF nib
Color: Pure Purple! This is (so far) the best purple I've seen. The color is just right for what I like in a purple.
Dry time: 3 seconds! Wow, this ink dries fast! I'm quite impressed. This may be due to the fact that I'm using an XF nib. I'll have to check it out with my bigger nibs sometime.
Smear when dry: NO
Lubricaton: Very good. I like how this ink lubes my pen. Feels very smooth on paper.
Shading: Very faint but still there. One can't expect an XF nib to show much shading though.
Feathering: Moderate. Not bad but it feathers more than my other inks. This is probably a result of the excellent dry time. My paper is not the best at all too. With clairefontaine, rhodia, or any other "expensive" paper, you won't have any feathering at all.
Notes: Overall I love this ink! I have yet to find a more beautiful, pure, and well-behaved purple. I personally think a little feathering is a good sacrifice for the superb dry-time. I would highly recommend this ink to any purple lover!

Written with your XF nib, it reminds me a bit of J. Herbin Poussière de Lune though perhaps not quite as dark.
ReplyDeletenice review, Tyler! I'm really enjoying all of the good stuff you've been putting on your blog lately!
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot. Is it really waterproof? It might replace North African Violet in my affections.
ReplyDeleteNever tried that ink before. I don't think I'd personally go any darker on a purple than this purple mojo. But that's just me. :)

I have not checked actually. I'll get back to you on this. Give me a day or two to find out. If it is, I'd be a bit surprised as PR inks don't usually seem to be. Or maybe it's just the ones I've tried...
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a lovely color though!

Looks more blue to me than purple.
ReplyDeleteYes, this ink is one of those blue-purple type purples. I like them better this way as they always seem more vibrant with the added blue... Without, they usually (though not always) end up as a sort of musky, grayish purple.
ReplyDeleteCould be your computer monitor too. I don't know exactly how blue it's appearing for you...
