Great review, and on my monitor the color is showing up true.

 

I'm in the same boat: I bought this ink with the impression that it would be a dark, dark green (it's called ebony green, right?). Although it shades dark, the lighter parts are a decided bright green.

I use Ebony Green in one of my pens and it is much darker than in this scan. Given what I see on the page when I write, the name is appropriate. It is a very dark green for me.

What size nib are you using out of curiosity?

I am using this in a pelikan 800 fine point and the line is much darker than the line in the sample attached. I think my bottle is darker.

I'm glad there's others chiming in. Just to confirm as well though I'm looking at my screen as well as the actual ink review. It's the same, that's the crappy thing about having 1000 different monitors!

Looks about like Sherwood green?

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right

to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers,

and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Revelation 22:14-15

Sorry, just found this. It's in a Visconti Van Gogh with M nib.

I just got a sample of this from Pear Tree Pens, and it looks lighter/brighter in the reviews here than it looks in person (I'm using it in an M-nib Levenger True Writer). I'm really loving the color and flow - I just wish it was bulletproof!

wish list!

Wow, another great review. What is this,like your 100th? :notworthy1:

 

I've got a bottle of Penman Emerald Green, but not this ink, and the difference in monitors and scanners really makes it impossible to tell how they compare. The Penman I have seems to be both darker and richer than what I'm seeing on my monitor, but I'm not sure what that's worth. I'm such a sucker for green inks I may have to buy a bottle of this PR ink too.

 

Out of curiosity, why do you use cardstock for your reviews? TIA

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
