Functions like a black ink in my EF pens which works great as an everyday pen for notes, journaling. Black fountain pens tend to be a bit grey-ish/charcoal, and instead of just grey peaking through on the usual black inks, this one has a nice nice violet (more blue undertone than red) peaking through. The gold sheen on FP-friendly paper is not distracting, just an added bit of fun to an 'undercover' black ink that I will continue to love. Flows wet and can smear because it takes longer to dry on coated paper (I've had this problem on TR and Clairefontaine). On regular copy paper it has a bit of feathering, more noticeable because of its dark colour. I loved this sample and am tempted to get a whole bottle, but I'm still got too many samples to go through first!

I tried this on a fountain pen-friendly paper and 2 different cheap college-ruled made in the USA papers. On FP-friendly paper, it's gold sheening purple and black magic. On my cheap $1 notebook paper, the sheen is completely devoured, but it's a nice eggplant color with larger nibs and pretty much black in fine or extra fine. On a different loose leaf cheap paper (like $1 for 150 sheets cheap), it writes eggplant/black but actually sheens gold every once in a while! This is definitely worth a sample to see how it does on your usual paper and would make an excellent stealth magical ink.

The ink looks beautiful, but somehow I managed to squeeze the bottle (or something) while I was closing it back up and got ink everywhere! I've used Diamine inks before without this mess happening.

This ink has quickly become my new favorite! I've currently got my Pineider avatar UR Riace Bronze inked up with Diamine Scribble purple and I think it's just the most beautiful combination. Because this purple ink is so dark, I can use it in most of my daily writing. It's easy on the eyes when reading pages I've written, unlike some of my more vibrant purple inks.

I love the color - similar to Diamine Shimmer Purple Pazzazz- and very smooth ink. I love Diamine inks all the way around! And Goulet Pen Co.

Scribble Purple is an extremely unique ink, I don't think the color is loud enough to draw much interest, though (usually the really popular inks have vibrant, bright colors). Another reviewer mentioned this, and I agree: The photo above doesn't do it justice. Scribble Purple is so weird; when you write with it, even in an EF pen, it looks black. In brighter light (or with a stub nib), it's dark purple. You also can get an incredible yellow-gold sheen - the picture above makes it look greenish, but it's really a metallic gold. Bear in mind that I am using Clairefontaine paper to create this sheen. On copy paper, this will just be a dark purple ink. The only problem I have is that it can smear a bit, but it really only does so if you are using a flex pen, or anything really wet, and on slick paper. With regular copy paper and a typical fountain pen, I haven't had any smearing. There's another odd quality to this ink: It almost seems to provide lubrication between the nib and the paper - it's kind of buttery, if that makes sense. If you have ever used dip pens and calligraphy ink, you may notice this ink has similar properties, meaning it won't spread out, and has a consistent flow rate.

This is a lovely ink! Just beware this is not purple undertone with browns (that's what my eyes see in the digital color swatch). It is simply a nice, dark purple! Definitely not multi-toned.

This is an awesome ink. Wonderfully dark purple color with a pronounced green/gold sheen, especially on Tomoe River paper. Sheen is somewhat less pronounced on Clairfontaine or Rhodia paper, but is still evident. The color is always dark, saturated and vibrant on any paper. I use it in a stub nib pen, so it is a wet writer anyway, but this ink is juicy and wet and just a pleasure to write with. One of my 'always have in my drawer' inks.

After writing with 'Scribble Purple' I was certain I had been shipped black ink by mistake! But after running the pen nib under water, I could see the ink was indeed purple. Because I'm always filling out forms & documents, I think this color is great! For business, It shows up clearly on photocopies and is a nice change from basic blue or black! It's a keeper!

I received my bottle of Scribbler's Purple yesterday and overall I'm pleased. At first it appears to be almost black but it's a very deep purple. I was expecting an instant greenish sheen as it appears to me in the picture but that didn't happen... until today when I gave it another chance with my new Kaweco Perkeo M nib. I'm glad I tried this ink again, and even without a sheen (at first) Scribbler's Purple is beautiful in the bottle and on paper. Just know if you don't get expected results at first, try it again or BE PATIENT!!

It's dark ink!

This is a decadently beautiful ink, reminiscent of a complex fine wine. Bonus if your team colors are purple and gold (go Dawgs)
