Green - Jinhao

Recommended Posts

Jinhao is popular chinese FP brand. They offer also ink in cartridges in five colors: black, blue, brown, green and red. I must say these inks are really well behaved, saturated and rather nice.



I don't think that Jinhao produces their inks, they just label other manufacturer's inks. I lack knowledge to judge which ones? I would be interested to know, so if you happen to possess some knowledge / insight on chinese ink market, I'd love to hear it.



What's cool is the fact they sell mix of cartridges so that you can try few colors for less money. Also the price is really low (1 $ shipped), so you don't risk anything.

Green has nice flow and is well behaved in every way but I dislike the color.

Very nice.

 

Way back when (2014) I did a review the Jinhao Black and Blue Cartridges. See here. While the Black was pretty meh, the blue is a nice, well-behaved ink. The green seems to follow in the footsteps of the Blue.

Believe it or not, I do like that color!! I reminds me of something from my past--in my mother's kitchen. Does that come in a bottle??

I found that the blue was about the same price per ml as some of the inks at the cheaper end of the middle range, so I bought a whole lot and decanted them into a small bottle.

It's a pity the Red/Green/Brown aren't sold as separate colours, like the Blue and the Black.

      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
