Papier Plume Forest Green

Well, here it is: my first review. Apologies for the meandering thoughts and the abhorrent handwriting! I tried my darndest, but this was the closest I could get to accurate color reproduction. At least the ink is fairly correct, if not the paper. :glare: How does everyone else get it to look so good? :hmm1:

As always, no connection to the store, just a satisfied customer.

Great color. I'm curious to what you or others think this color most compares to in the more widely available ink brands.

Well, based on this page, I'd say the Forest Green is about midway between Caran d'Ache Amazon and Diamine Woodland Green. It's really quite close to the Amazon, just a little less yellow when compared side by side. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience in the green spectrum, so I can't really be much help.

I was going to say diamine woodland green too - I have a bottle and that is almost exactly the colour i get from it.

So I'm opinionated - get over it!!.......No, really - get over it!!

Hmmmm I was going to put up a WANTS list - but that's too long as well ......

Perhaps intruding on the Forest Green review, just want to make an additional push for Papier Plume (papierplume.com) to say that I use their Violet as my exclusive purple. There are color samples on the web site, though on my computer the Violet looks a bit paler than it dries in my white page notebook.

Thanks falika, I didn't realize that Papier Plume had products available online. I'm all for supporting the small business whenever possible.

      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
