Montblanc Lavender Purple

The pen used in this ink comparison is the William Shakour Titan Dip Pen, it’s a pen made by a UK Pen Collector William Shakour. I have a review of several of William's Titan pens including the full size and dip pens along with other accessories. You can see them on this playlist William Shakour

I love green colored inks preferably dark green because it makes your writing stand out while simultaneously retaining the dark color a black has

I ordered a bottle of Royal Blue and they sent me the Corn Poppy Red as a gift! I like the Lucky Orange one very much and I hope to buy it. Orange is my favourite colour!

I have used Montblanc Mystery Black for decades, and rarely bother with any other true black. It works well with wet nibs, dry nibs, flexy nibs, and "nails". It does not pretend to be a permanent ink, but then I do not need archival properties.

I love these ink reviews! They are very useful, to me at least. Thank you Dave!

I must get a bottle of their Irish Green. It does look good.
I like their Royal Blue and Ultramarine inks, they are superb in their shade and behaviour. A month or two ago I started trying Monteverde Gemstone inks. As I tested them they seemed so familiar. There was a familiarity with them which I could not place. Later I heard that the rumour is that they are made in the same production facility as Montblanc's inks. It would not surprise me. They are superb inks too.
Thanks for this review, it's enjoyable and helpful.

I have been using Montblanc Coffee Brown. It’s a lovely colour.

Thank you for making these ink comparisons. They have been exceptionally helpful. Please keep them coming.

When you started laying down the swatch of Corn Poppy Red (which I always like in your Currently Inked videos), I was suddenly hit by what a great lipstick colour it would make. Very 1940s. Scarily, I thought the same when you began to swatch Lavender Purple - clearly you can move on from your punk years but something always remains with you....

The name mystery blue does fit with it being a mystery ink haha

Dave, I’d like to see the montblanc writers editions like Shakespeare or sand in the desert, etc.

@IAT1964 5 years ago

I have mostly Montblanc inks, as here where I live I don't have much of a choice. My all time favourite red is a limited edition MB called Shakespeare. Absolutely fantastic.

I would grab a flask of lavender, green and brown, those are my favorites here. Love your videos!

@MimsyGaming 5 years ago

Love Lavender Purple, Irish Green, and Toffee Brown. I use those three quite frequently.

@malcolmgay2206 4 years ago

An interesting change happens to the colours if you scan them, ie your signature on a letter. Try it.

@sistergoldenhair0727 5 years ago

That orange is beautiful!!

@ironmic9244 5 years ago

It's amazing how different experiences can be. I love Oyster Grey. I find it shades very well in a variety of nibs. Off the top of my head in which I used this ink with these pens over the last year; Pelikan 200 EF, 120 B, Montblanc 149 M, Pilot Custom 74 SFM, and Leonardo Momento Zero B. It does look better wet though, because it has a lavender tinge to it.
Earl Grey is on my list - can't wait. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Your pen collection is spectacular. Give Oyster Grey another look.

I think I like that Mystery Blue more than Tsuki-yo. And I can't decide whether I want the Irish Green or Lavender Purple next. I like that they don't have much sheen, I'm not a sheen person. Same with shade, I don't really care either.

@WaskiSquirrel 5 years ago

Interesting to see this. I'm very unfamiliar with Montblanc inks.

@luckyoleary9626 5 years ago

Great stuff. These comparisons are really useful.

@tomaszpietrzykowski4827 5 years ago

I am also fan of Montblanc inks and my favorites are Toffee Brown, Petrol Blue and Royal Blue. Thank you for comparison. I was not lucky to fetch Corn Poppy Red when it was available. 😕
