This was my first bottle ink that I purchased when first starting to get into fountain pens. Overall I highly recommend it. :lol:

Looks great when paired with a flexy dip nib:

I only have three green(ish) inks that aren't mixed by me, so I included a few alternatives for the comparison.

Gotta love that shade of green. :thumbup:

Nice review! This is one my favorite inks.

 

Thanks! :thumbup:

 

Also, I forgot to mention in the review that I've had absolutely no issue with mold in my bottle.

Most people haven't.

 

I figured they'd gotten it figured out by now. I honestly haven't been keeping up with the situation though.

Holy smaragd, that's a nice green. The price is what keeps me away from Herbin inks, or I'd probably have every single one by now. I was affronted when the box was put before me on the counter. "This is a sample size, yes?" :yikes:

      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

      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
