Thank you! Your posts are both beautiful and amazing. I wish there was some sort of award you could be given for this remarkable work.

@swanjun - Nicpon makes amazing inks :) They're highly saturated and behave well in most cases. Zielony galusowy is gall ink, you can check the review here.

 

I find on a previous post, you said, "Nicpoń is chemistry PhD Student that's active on Polish fountain pen network. He's created limited line of nice, saturated inks in many colors."

 

I wonder if there's any relation to the Polish fellow referenced in this thread. There's a Zielony Galusowy on his list, too.

All I can say is "Wow." And "Thank you."

+1 on that. This is amazingly comprehensive.

Thank you for an excellent comparison. I have been considering a green ink for some time and this has been a great help. I would like to try Montblanc Irish Green, Penman Emerald and GvFC Moss Green among a few others listed here.

 

As they are difficult to get or expensive I thought I'd give Pelikan Brilliant Green a try. What a result, this is a wonderfully bright and vibrant green with excellent shading with my flex nib. I love it.

 

Had it not been for what must have been a time consuming exercise on your part, I would still be dithering. Still want some Moss Green though.

 

Thanks again!

Wow! :thumbup:

 

And I thought the 11 green Inks I bought in the year after I got my first...Pelikan 4001...was a lot of green inks. ;)

 

That was very well organized and well done.... :)

Truly outstanding work and a great reference, thanks.

 

Diamine 'Woodland Green' is one of my mainstays - there's always a Sheaffer NoNonsense inked & ready for action. This article has prompted me to broaden the range.

Holy Moly!!!

 

This is the greenest post I've seen since I started visiting FPN!

 

Now, if you can do the same thing for blues, browns, and grays, I'll be all set!!!

Thank you so much for doing such a comprehensive comparison and sharing the info with everyone here.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
