Noodler's Forest Green review

[Chupacabras]

Once again, pardon the handwriting; getting my slant consistent has been a real bear:

I like it just fine, but wouldn't say it's in Widowmaker or Squetegue's class. If you need a green, this is a good buy but if you have something like Hunter Green already, I'd advise skipping it.

Thanks for the review--you have nice handwriting. I've wondered what this ink looks like and I agree with your assessment.

For some reason I can't see this image, and I think I've been missing a lot of images in ink reviews. Anyone know why??

[Chupacabras]

Lots of work proxies block some image hosting sites, can you not see images from work or home?

[GreenVelvet]

Ah, that must be it - some image hosting sites are blocked and others are not. I know I can never see the large images on eBay that are hosted on InkFrog. Home and work are the same thing for me, but my internet is somewhat filtered. (Long story, but it's free.) Oh well, I'll just have to live with it.

 

Thanks for the insight, Chupacabras.

 

What I should have said from the get-go is that I love Noodler's Forest Green. I find it very, very close to Marine Green, which has the advantage of being near-bulletproof, but I like the shading better in Forest Green. It's one of my favorite greens.

That's very kind of you, thanks.

Good review. Them photo's are so much more accurate in color/contrast than scans.

Pictures certainly seem the way to go to get accurate colors; one of these days I'll put together a lightbox to avoid that shine in the center of the page.

Nice review, thanks! This ink looks a bit more saturated in my use, but I very much appreciate the line it lays down. My absolute favorite green in Private Reserve Sherwood Green, but it's a very wet ink compared to the Noodler's. It also is more saturated and about two clicks darker. But the Noodlers handles paper so much more nicely without saturating and feathering. I'm keeping both in my stable.

Has anyone used the Diamine Delamere Green? It's my favourite dark green ink, but zero water resistant. This Noodler's Forest green looks similar, anyone has both and can comment and compare them ? Would be much appreciated..

 

Btw is this ink waterproof?
