The first impression of Diamine's Purple Bow is without a doubt, the bottle!
Well-designed, sturdy, heavy, with a premium feel to it, and very aesthetically pleasing.

“Verdict: Is the company/advertiser honest? - YES OR NO”
YES, Diamine - Purple Bow has an accurate swatch on the company's website that represents the colours and performance of the ink in real life.
How is the “Realistic Swatch” made:
To ensure that the final image will be “true to life” when it comes to the colours, I take the photographs with natural sunlight or special lamps that imitate it. Then, while the swatch remains under the light, I edit the image on a professional BENQ monitor that is calibrated for printing, so what I see on the paper matches what I see on my screen.
As an additional step, I always print out the edited image on a high-fidelity printer, and I compare it to the real swatch. This makes sure that even if your monitor is not calibrated correctly, you can always print out the swatch to see how the colour looks on paper.
