That is very interesting. It does not look like the way my Shin Ryoku looks. Yours appears much more blue. Mine is on the green side of the fence.

Perhaps nibs and paper are making an influence? Mostly I use Shin in a Cross F nib (which is like a thin M) and on inexpensive papers.

 

Very interesting.

 

Regards,

Be Happy, work at it. Namaste

The same goes for my bottle of Shin Ryoku. It sits much closer to the green side after drying. It goes on a blue-ish green but then dries to what I would call a nice true green. These scans actually look much more like my Sheaffer Green than my Shin Ryoku.

I have the same experience. It is just "green". It does show some blue hues when wet, it is subtle, but after it dries, it is green-meh. I loaded a pen that I didn't rinse after using Diamine Soft Mint, and it loaned some of its blue tint to Shin Ryoku. Now I'm loving it. :wub: It reminds me exactly of green pine needles that show a hint of blue depending on the light and angle.

Compared to most of the greens I use (Irish Green, Gruene Cactus Eel, PR Sherwood), Shin-ryoku does lean blue in my eyes. My bottle looks pretty similar to Amber's scans.

So many inks, so little time...

I wonder if it would look substantially different in a thinner nib. I really like the ink.

This is the ink in a Japanese Extra fine, and on Tomoe River paper, which in my opinion gives the best representation for any inks true colour; that being said, the lighting could have been better and like many of my pictures, this was quite hasty.

As you may be able to tell, it doesn't lean as much to the blue side of things as that picture does and in real life it looks even less blue to me.

And well, if you like the ink colour as represented by the scan more than the one in my picture, then you should try using Sheaffer Green in a finer nib. It looks like your scans even on a finer nib.

All four fills looked really blue in person. This was a sample so it is possible that the color was slightly contaminated.

Two years ago, FPNer Shawndo, purchased every blue ink sample Goulet's had to offer.

Alas, Shawndo ran out of free inky time. I agreed to do these reviews. So here we are.

      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
