Diamine Woodland Green

[visvamitra]

Manufacturers since 1864, Diamine Inks relocated to this purpose built 'state of the art' factory in Liverpool in 1925, where they successfully carried on using the traditional methods and formulas for ink production. Over the years the company has changed hands and are now located close to the world famous Aintree Race Course

Diamine Woodland Green looks fresh, but, truth be told, I don't like the color. The ink behavior is nice. It has average+ flow, good level of lubrication and doesn't cause feathering on copy paper. It's not the ink I'll ever use again though, unless I do some comparison.

Thank you for you nice review!

I agree, considering all the interesting greens which are available, this is one of the less interesting.

Not fresh enough for a spring feeling.

Not dark enough for Christmas :-)

And not complex enough to be a "murky" green

 

 

Found this interesting article about greens on Wiki:

I would call this: GO Transit green :-)

Thanks for the link.

Nice shading, but not a color for me otherwise.

Thanks, as always for the review. Seeing inks I don't want are as useful (and better for my wallet) as inks I do want....

This is the first green ink I used when I really got into fountain pens in 2007 ( After fiddling around with Sheaffer calligraphy pens since 1998!). I have always liked this ink, and it contrasts beautifully with golden brown inks. It's a solid well performing ink, perhaps placed below Diamine Umber, my favorite, but equal to Diamine Safari, Wagner, Beethoven, and KWZ IG Green Gold, followed by Diamine Apple Glory, and KWZ IG Green #2.

I suspect that this doesn't motivate you, Vis, because you like yellower greens and this one is not unique or different. I sort of like how it is just a regular hum drum green that performs well. That being said,though, I never use it.

Very nice review! I just finished a sample of this and found it to be very pleasant to write with and easy on the eyes. I used it in several different pens, and actually preferred it in my fine and medium nibs because it still shades but doesn't get overwhelming. I really enjoyed it and will probably purchase a bottle soon.

I liked this one, it is similar to Pelikan Briliant Green... can you compare?
