A great review and obviously a great and imaginative colour. However, I have trouble reading certain shades if they are too pale and this ink could just be one of them. I need dark inks to provide contrast. The actual colour of the ink isn't necessarily the limiting factor. Perhaps that's why I like the shades like Evergreen or Green-Black etc.

One of my favourite colour. I noticed that If I left the pen one week or two without use, then the green turns to be more darker and better. I use everyday with my Lamy Safari M nib,the green colour is like an unique ID (most people use black or blue):

 

Green seems for me, better for annotations on B&W Laser printouts and notes in my notepad.

I love it for the abilty of the colour to retain punch with very fine nibs. Great with an XF nib for making comments stand out where there is little space, for example academic papers printed for annotation in the narrow margins.

Thank you. It really is one of those colours that took my breath away resulting in a highly emotive review! I wonder if you might be able to use it in a mix with a black perhaps? It reminds me of green food colouring too!

Hello, I wouldn't liken it to Kelly Green at all. This is a lustrous ink with incredible qualities and very different in my experience from Kelly Green. The is such a depth and translucence in it that it jumps off the page without being gaudy or offensive.

Nice review. I like the way that color looks. Sometimes I'm a sucker for inks that aren't overly saturated. :)

 

 

Love this color ... Thanks for the review ...

 

Thank you both. It sure is different to any other green I have tried. I am so very glad I did. It feels like one is writing with liquid emerald as it starts, and that has to be the ultimate bonus!

Thank you for your review and wow :drool: what a great color.

 

Hello! Thank you for your comments. Isn't it just incredible?! Have you tried it yourself?

I just started using this one, and it's pretty ultra.

 

Excellent! It's such wild, isn't it. I love the dark moody start when the pen hasn't been used for a while!

This was the first 'interesting' (i.e. not blue or black) ink I bought. Love the colour but I think other people find it a little intimidating if I write letters with it! Looking at something like Sherwood forest green for that, while leaving this ink to do what it shines at: notes to myself and corrections. I use red to mark them, and green to note when they have been sorted.

I imagine most people haven't got our taste and appreciation of fabulousness. Have you tried Sherwood green yet... it is heavenly! I love your idea of matching red/ green - I really like that combination.

I have not trying to avoid buying another bottle of ink when I still have steel blue in my desk draw unopened and waiting for a pen... although the positive reviews keep making it harder to resist....

 

I found that the skrip red and ultra green combination makes it easy to pick out the errors for rework, then makes it easy to see they have been dealt with, much bettet than any other combination. I have not tried it for an external document yet, writing to someone in vibrant red just looks threatening! The combination might soften it though, and work for diagrams.

My goodness.. I hope my letters never come to light then... I use every pen to hand and I have about 40 inked up.... As for writing in red, it is a colour of great fortune and blessing in other parts of the world.. You will be surprised how well people react to colour - unless of course you have had negative reactions?!

Wow, I can't claim to have access to that many colours! It depends who I am writing too, some letters require something conventional (although Visconti blue and a 1.1 TWSBI stub keep things vivid!), some friends I have a particular pen and ink I use for writing to them. Never tried writing with all the colours of the rainbow, could be fun!

 

As for letters in red, I never really thought of it that way before. In my corner of the world, red letters have negative connotations, either of being written in blood or of being "scarlet letters". I could raise it with some of my pen palls, although my red pen stays in my desk at work now. Unless I had two... No, bad boy...

      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
