Sailor Studio Ink Bottle (752 Purple - 20ML) 13-1210-752

Sailor Studio Ink Bottle (752 Purple - 20ML) 13-1210-752

The Sailor Ink Studio 752 Purple is one of the deeper, moodier entries in Sailor’s Ink Studio series — a curated collection of 100 dye?based fountain pen inks, each with its own hue and character. The 752 variant leans toward a dark, intense purple that, in many instances, approaches a near?black tone under heavier shading or low light. 

This ink comes in a square glass bottle (20?mL) with a practical design. The bottle includes a set of small stickers / labels so users can tag their converters or pens to keep track of which ink is loaded — especially useful when rotating inks. 

As with all Sailor Ink Studio inks, 752 is offered as a water?based dye ink, formulated for safe use in fountain pens (i.e., non?pigmented, non?shimmer, etc.). 

Color & Visual Character

• Hue & Depth
  752 is described in reviews as a dark purple with plum undertones, sometimes verging toward a “purple-black” when in heavier application. 
  In swab tests and color charts, 752 often shows strong contrast between lighter and deeper areas, showing more of its purple character in lighter strokes and deep saturation in heavier pools. 

• Shading
  High shading is among its standout qualities. In side-by-side comparisons and reviews, 752 shows noticeable tonal variation — from lighter, more reddish?purple edges to very dark centers where the ink pools more heavily. 

• Sheen / Reflectivity
  752 does produce medium sheen under favorable conditions. In swab and writing tests, reviewers have observed that in saturated or pooled areas, a subtle greenish or metallic sheen can appear over the purple base. 
  The sheen is more visible on smoother, low?absorbency papers and in thicker strokes; on more absorbent or everyday papers it may not be as pronounced. 

• Edge Diffusion / Chromatography
  In swab / bleed tests (such as the Ink Studio Set 6 reviews), 752 is shown to diffuse moderate amounts of color into surrounding areas, with edge halos or lighter fringe colors emerging in wet conditions. 
  When diluted or allowed to spread, lighter or more reddish / magenta undertones may become visible. 

Performance & Behavior

• Flow & Smoothness
  The ink delivers a consistent, smooth flow in typical nibs (e.g. medium nibs). Reviewers report reliable behavior without skipping or dryness, even in daily writing. 
  In the Fountain Pen Pharmacist review, 752 “behaved well in my medium nib … had a consistent, smooth flow.” 

• Drying Time
  In tests on fountain?pen-friendly papers (e.g., Tomoe River 52?gsm), 752 exhibits moderate drying times — not extremely fast, but acceptable in well?ventilated or standard conditions. 
  In the Ink Studio Set 6 comparison, the set (including 752) showed dry times in the range of 20 to 30 seconds on good paper. 

• Feathering, Bleed & Show?Through
  On high-quality, low-absorbency papers, feathering is minimal, and bleed-through is limited even with wetter nibs. 
  However, on cheaper or highly absorbent paper, particularly with broader or flex nibs, some feathering and bleed may be observed. 

• Water Resistance / Wash-Out
  Like most dye inks in the Sailor Ink Studio line, 752 is not water resistant. Exposure to moisture or water will cause smudging, washing, or partial loss of detail. 

• Ease of Cleaning & Pen Safety
  Because it is non-pigmented, the ink flushes reasonably well from pens. Sailor’s formulation intends to maintain pen safety while offering expressive colors. 

Use Cases & Appeal

• Expressive & Moodier Writing
  752 is ideal for users who favor deeper, dramatic purples that can appear almost black in certain lighting, yet reveal their true purple character in lighter strokes. The high shading and occasional sheen add visual interest to writing.

• Best with the Right Paper & Nib
  To experience its full depth, sheen, and shading, use 752 with fountain?pen?friendly, smooth or low-absorbency paper (e.g. Tomoe River, Rhodia, etc.), and preferably in medium to broader nibs which deliver more ink.

• Daily / Creative Use
  Despite its depth and complexity, 752 is functional for everyday writing — assuming your pen / nib works well with moderately saturating inks and you don’t mind moderate drying times.

• Ink Rotation & Labeling
  The 20?mL bottle size and included converter labels make 752 practical for ink?rotators who want to keep their pens clearly marked and avoid accidental mixing.
