I rather like Private Reserve Ink, but was rather surprised when I introduced into two pens with italic nibs on Tomoe River Paper. I used the turquoise and the violet pearlescent inks. They feathered out like a felt tipped marker and ghosted through the paper, which is very surprising on Tomoe River Paper. I can only use these inks in the very finest, fine nib Japanese pens and yet it will still ghost through. I can't speak for their other Pearlescent inks.

Interesting, Naples blue looked very blue on the swatch, but had a strong green tint on the writing sample. Didnt expect that

I was wondering if anyone would catch that. It's indeed more of a bright blue. I had cleaned the pen out, but it appears there might have been some remnants of older ink, causing the ink to appear more blue-green. It surprised me when I started writing, but didn't really feel like re-shooting everything. :-) You win the "keen eye" prize of the day.

Oh, that's gonna cost me. There are some nice inks. BTW I have an old bottle of PR ink. It's labeled "Midnight Blues". During the transformations the "s" apparently got lost as the current name is "Midnight Blue".

Love this review! Some very nice colors in the Private Reserve collection. My favorites are Copper Burst, Black Cherry and the American Blue. I dont have any private reserve links yet but just might have to pick some up. Also, the zoomed in view should become the standard on your show. Really shows the pen as well as the ink during writing sample

That's a lovely colour palette. I own a 66ml bottle of Ebony Purple which I use a lot in a 1911L. That particular bottle satisfied me when I was looking for Lamy Dark Lilac although I think the Ebony Purple is darker, which is fine by me. I also like some of those blues. They would be good substitutes for Kon Peki and Bay State Blue.

Hello Figboot this is a great video. Just one clarification amongst the Private reserve inks could you share your thoughts as to which one is closest to Pelikan Edelstein Topaz?

I noticed that they didn’t send you any of their fast dry inks. I’d be interested in, as I’m sure many others would be, an in-depth review of the difference between their fast dry ink and their normal ink of the same color.

I bought most of the 4 packs when they came out, so I have small bottles of quite a few. I love purple mojo, ebony purple, Sherwood green, and never could bond with Vampire red. Did they keep Purple Haze? You are pulling me away from my 2 Noodler's choices of the month!

Thanks for this overview. I’m happy to see Private Reserve coming back. I have an older bottle of Naples Blue and I find it to be a sheen monster on par with OS Nitrogen. It’s hard to tell in your video. Do you see sheen on the new formula?

Admittedly I haven't done anything with Naples other than add it to my ink journal but my sample is showing no signs of sheen on paper that is roughly equivalent to Rhodia. But mine also looks like Lamy Pacific Blue-very different from what I see in this video. Other sheening inks will sheen just fine in my ink journal, albeit not as strongly as Tomoe River.
