What an interesting chromo on that Lemon Grass, Jan!

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Yes, that was quit unexpected!

 

I like this green, it looks a little bit "powdery".

 

but...

also take a look at the chromo of Rohr and Klingner Alt-Grun... ;)

You're right; I'd missed that, probably because the Alt-grun doesn't appeal to me so I didn't dwell on it. The Lemon Grass, to my eye, is nicer. Funny how the chromos (and the dyes, I assume) can be so similar and yet the inks are so different.

hey you green-lovers, got a question for you.

I've got two preppy highlighters, a yellow one and a green one. The yellow one already ran out of ink, I refilled the cartridge with Diamine Yellow. Perfect for me.

Now the green is about to run dry. I just went through all these green examples. And on one hand got confirmation on my first idea reading post 35: J. Herbin vert pré. However, on post 121 this same vert pré looks far too unsaturated to draw attention as a highlighter. On the other hand, I'm afraid Diamine meadow might be too saturated and cover text/notes rather than highlighting them.

 

So: anyone who cares to share his experience with green ink for highlighter use? (I'd prefer to avoid the Pelikan highlighter inks, though I couldn't tell you why, maybe I just should pick that green. Any pics of that 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
