Another appalling handwriting sample - but shows the ink which is the point!

 

The last line should read 'much prefer' not must prefer!!

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 ......

How does Ultra green compare to Woodland Green? Thanks!

FP Ink Orphanage-Is an ink not working with your pens, not the color you're looking for, is never to see the light of day again?!! If this is you, and the ink is in fine condition otherwise, don't dump it down the sink, or throw it into the trash, send it to me (payment can be negotiated), and I will provide it a nice safe home with love, and a decent meal of paper! Please PM me!<span style='color: #000080'>For Sale:</span> TBA

Wow! Thanks for the review. You have most awesome handwriting! That is a brilliant shade of green. I'm wondering now how it compares to PR DC Supershow Green. It's a bright green. IMO.

Thanks! I love Woodland Green, for a first go at green ink for me it was right on the mark. Ultra green looks interesting and may look into it when considering a lighter green.

Oh thanks - it changes alot, the last bit was a 'short round' moment............it does the 'tall thin' too but I'm feeling particularly short and round myself so I guess that figures! :roflmho:

Am very pleased with Diamine 'Ultra Green'. Through a B Tibaldi nib in an ED Mercury, it is wet, bright and dries to a well shaded, strong colour. One of my students said, "That's beautiful!".

 

Compared to the slightly muddy 'Emerald' Diamine, 'Ultra Green' is the same colour as the (expensive) emeralds in my wife's earrings.

Thanks much for such a thorough review, and for the added comparisons.

May you have pens you enjoy, with plenty of paper and ink. :)

      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
