It's been 11 years since my first review of Violette Pensee

I reckon it is time for an update. You can find my first review here under 2014. In that review, this ink was my very first colored, non-black ink! Now, 11 years later I still use it. It has grown along with me in my fountain pen odyssey.

I've been down the long road of fountain pen mania and made it back intact and free of that one time addiction. I've settled into a very modest use of fountain pens. Where I once had a stable of over a dozen pens all different makers, I've now settled down to mainly using my daily writers, Pilot 78Gs. I always had a black one, but a few years ago I wanted another one in blue (for my Violette Pensee ink, you see), and found a seller of new "old stock" 78Gs. They aren't available in general now.

So long winded way of saying one of my daily writers is my blue 78G in a fine nib. The Violette Pensee is perfect for me. It is wet but not too wet. In other words, IT FLOWS. And isn't that what ink is supposed to do. I love my African Violet plant and I love my French J. Herbin violet ink.

Nice Ink

I purchased this ink especially to write to my 6 year old granddaughter. Her favorite color (today) is Purple. She may not appreciate it now but perhaps someday.

beautiful violet hue

I really enjoy writing with violette pensee! Flow and dry time via a Pilot Metropolitan fine nib are both excellent on my Leuchturm 1917 notebook. I noticed that when wet, the ink seems more red. As it dries it turns into just the right hue of violet that I love.

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink.

You can also refill an empty ink cartridge from bottled ink using an ink syringe.
