*The slightly lighter appearance is due to the pen misbehaving vs anything to do with the ink. My apologies.

I am surprised by the lack of responses. Here are a couple more offerings with a different nib:

You see, this one might just have the edge over the Ultra Green you've reviewed as it would seem to have the contrast, being just that little bit darker perhaps. I like it.

Somehow I missed your original post.... :headsmack: Probably I thought what you did -- that it would be a darker and more saturated ink.

This is a really nice color. I like the fact that there's still some shading even in finer nib. How water resistant is this? And what's clean-up like?

Rats. Now *another* ink to add to the rapidly increasing list of "must try"....

Sigh.

Thank you. Not Rhodia, it is Black n Red 'Quad' paper in notebook form. It really is gorgeous to write on.

Hello Cap'n. Do you really think this is darker? I found it much softer that UG, but obviously the important thing is what you perceive to be the darker.

Hi Ruth,

 

This is a great colour and I really enjoyed the feeble attempt at calligraphy - I nither have the time nor inclination to print letters!! The water -resistance is minimal, I wouldn't recommend swimming or the likes with your work. The clean-up on the other hand is very straight forward and quick. As for another ink to add... I am with you on that!

 

Warm wishes,

Bhavna

Bhvana, Sorry about the lack of responses, but I bought the ink based on your recommendation.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I just stumbled upon this review, thanks to amberleadavis' comment bringing it to the surface. I'm in a green mode with inks and they just seem to be getting better. I favor the botanical greens, those that lean more toward the yellow (many inks that are called green appear teal or even turquoise to me) as you'll often see on the leaves of plants. I agree, the color is too warm to be emerald. Lovely shading. Add another bottle to the shelf.

Bhvana does nice reviews and shares some great inks. I just inked up with this ink and it is exactly a leafy green.

Of course I saw this review just moments after buying a big bottle of Diamine 'Evergreen.' It's so dark it reads as black, like the Noodlers 'Sequoia' I was trying to improve upon. Well, ya gotta kiss a few frogs...

I like the look of this ink, and for me it seems well named. When I get around to opening my bottle of Sherwood Green I will have to return to your review and see if I have made a terrible mistake. Thanks for the great review!

      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
