Thanks for a great review. My favorite ink color is green, preferring Diamine Sherwood Green and Noodler's Forest Green. This Diamine Kelly Green is, as you describe, such a reminder of Spring. I may have to have a bottle to help cheer me through the bleak days of winter.

Your penmanship is extraordinary.

Thanks for this review. That's what an ink review should look like, IMO. Everything necessary but still succinct. This is my favourite bright green of all. I say "bright" instead of "light". My other favourites are Amazon and White Forest, but those are by no means bright or light.

Small question: How cum some letterings of yours look so dark (with a touch of blue) in comparison with the rest. E.g. Your "No" after "Feathering"?

Lapis,

 

My response are darker for the "Feathering to Waterproof headings" because I let the pen with the Kelly Green rest on the table for 30 minutes or more. Normally after I finished the ink comparisons, I would soak the ink for 30 minutes. After the drowning test is completed, I would have the answer for the waterproof test. At this point in time (after the soak test), I would address the Feathering, Bleedthrough, and Waterproof questions. The pen was resting (horizontally) for 30 or more minutes on the desk, which gives it a more saturated appearance for my reply to the Feathering, Bleedthrough, and Waterproof questions. As I draft the "Overall" remarks that saturated look slowly disappears.

Good review by the way your handwriting is so nice i can probably stare at it for hours.

Another great review Signum, lovely and informative as always. I love this shade of green and I bet that Edison is a dream as well. Any chance we can get a few pictures of pen/ nib?

I really like this green except that it crusts up my VP nibs and therefore spends much time at the back of the drawer.

Pardon my french but wow. Just wow. Those pictures are amazing and that pen knocks my socks off. Those little emoticons don't cut it.

Ok, I just posted a comment in a more recent review of Kelly green. The samples in this review look more like what I'd anticipate, although maybe not still not quite what I think of as "Kelly." The ink doesn't look as yellow and pale in these samples. Thanks for posting!
