I present to test the ink Graf von Faber-Castell Moss Green with a beautiful, deep green color. If I had recommend someone green with good parameters, shading visible even at nib "F", it certainly would recommend Moss Green.



Manufacturer: Graf von Faber-Castell


Series, colour: Moss Green


Pen: Waterman Hemisphere, nib "F"


Paper: Image Volume (80 g / m2)



Specifications:


Flow rate: good


Lubrication: good


Bleed through: possible point


Shading: noticeable


Feathering: unnoticeable


Saturation: very good

The water resistance and chromatography for this one looks almost exactly like Tokiwa-matsu. Both pine greens, but they look not so similar in writing. This is nice, but I prefer Tokiwa-matsu. What about you?

This Moss Green is very nice but looks more of a pine green to me.

 

Tokiwa-matsu is by far my favourite green ink. It's properties are exemplary & it is a beautiful complex & interesting colour.

I LOVE Tokiwa-matsu. But it demands good paper. On poor quality copy paper there is ghosting, spread, bleed-through, etc.

 

I'd be interested to see a side-by-side comparison if anyone has both.

Well yes, but isn't that the case with most FP inks?

 

I often read such comments about ink behaviour on poor quality paper and must admit I get a bit bewildered. Why do people use "poor quality copy paper" with FPs, as the writing experience is usually correspondingly poor? Even if the ink you're using doesn't exhibit poor behaviour on such paper, (which it does more often than not) these papers generally aren't good for FPs.

 

If you have access to FPs and inks then it is almost certain you can find acceptable quality, but still cheap, copy paper. Copy paper or printer paper that works well with FP inks can be bought extremely cheaply almost anywhere. In fact price definitely doesn't equate to quality. I use a cheap, but acceptable quality, copy paper from a local supermarket and Tokiwa-Matsu works beautifully on it.

 

I guess I'm being dim ---- again! :-)

 

And apologies to the OP for hijacking the thread. Back to GvFC Moss Green...............

At home, I use only premium paper. But I don't buy the paper at work.

The review is just as excellent as the review of Stone Grey...

 

Just that I must say I love the colour of this ink

Das leben ist wie ein Perpetuum Mobile mit ein Mangel..... Immer im Bewegung jedoch nicht unendlich. (life is like a troubled Perpetuum Mobile ever moving but not for ever)

Tricked throughout the centuries...

For centuries people had been tricked by kings & "religion-alism"

In the 20th century people got tricked by communism

Today people get tricked by (neo)capitalism :)

Already have this GVFC ink - love using it. I'll likely make it my Christmas ink for the year!

 

Thanks for the review and for reminding me to get it into a pen.

      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
