How would you compare the "purple" above with the Ackkerman? Although this is a pretty ink, imho, appears more on the pink side then the purple. I get such a kick out of you tasting inks. I guess thats the definition of a true Gourmet?Greg Moorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484890041572022255.post-10252227499419045382015-04-14T19:51:42.597-04:002015-04-14T19:51:42.597-04:00I can't justify a second color at this price, ...I can't justify a second color at this price, but I did shell out for the Yama-budo.

I generally use it in finer nibs to mitigate any wayward tendencies, but then that does stop that golden sheen thing happening. Your ink tasting always cracks me up. Great review.
