Mini Ink Review: PLUS x Sailor Dark Purple
Today's ink is PLUS x Sailor Dark Purple, which came with the Starry Sky fountain pen and notebook. The set is a collab between PLUS and Sailor.
Stating the obvious: In a finer nib, the ink comes out as more black than purple. If you want it to look more purple than black, you'd have to use a thicker nib.
Feels: It wrote well in both my fine and my 1.0mm Hocoro nibs.
^ Ink review sheet under natural light (and my hand casting a shadow on the left side lol)
^ Scanned version - I promise I will look for a better scanner which will not wash out the colours but in the meantime, this'll have to do!
Zoomed in:
^ No, it is not water resistant, but at least the water doesn't completely erase the lines! Also, the smear test came in clutch since there was no smear with a fine nib at the 20-second mark.
Other thoughts: I think they captured the colour of the night sky pretty well and I see why they chose this shade as the ink that comes with the Starry Sky pen.
Closest dupe I have on hand: Taccia Ukiyo-e Aomurasaki
