I'm on a rampage for green, purple and brown inks at the moment. It took me a while to get used to this ink but now that I have, I really, really like it. The scanner is showing it to be darker than it is. It looks a lot more brown than it actually is.

 

R & K and Diamine are fast shaping up to be brands that I will turn to for coloured inks and non-archival correspondence.

Very interesting color Artful. I might have to check this one out when I place another order.

 

Thanks for the review, especially of an ink from a company that I haven't heard much of.

Rohrer & Klingner make great ink. I have almost every colour and I love each one, but Alt-Goldgrün is my favourite... :)

So not the color I was expecting somehow (even having seen the Pendemonium swash).

 

I think that would look lovely in a white tortoise Pelikan M400.

Thanks for the review. Very helpful, I have been thinking about getting this ink for a while and it has now moved to the top of my must get list.

Exactly my thought... I use Stipula Verde Muschiato and Conway Stewart Dark Green in my M400 Tortoise (when I'm in the mood to match ink to the pen). This one reminds me of Stipula Verde Muschiato -- perhaps a lighter version of it.

 

Thanks for the review, Artful Lounger! :)

 

Talking about fountain pens is like dancing about architecture.

Mine is on it's way to me from the writing desk in England, can't wait! I was expecting the colour to be _a lot_ lighter.

 

Best regards,

 

Jarno.

No worries ) I've ben wanting to try my hand at reviews. Meanwhile, you're using one of the inks I am eyeing myself i.e. the Stipula Verde Muschiato. That's a brand I've not tried yet. Looking forward to buying that eventually. ^^

Just this colour alone is getting me hooked on the brand. I'm eyeing the purples/violets next but I need to spare my wallet. :unsure:

that green ink is very interesting, it is a very subtle and sober color and me likey a lot. Thanks for the review.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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
