At least, there's nothing listed for it in the index. Color looks good on my monitor, hopefully looks good on yours. This is an excellent ink, and I admit that I've wanted to use it for some time now. Mad props to Petra (aka dandelion) for providing me with some ink so I could write this review!

Though I'm a big green ink fan, Caran d' Ache is my favorite one. I only wish the bottles were a little more economical in terms of the amount of ink you get. But don't let that keep you from trying it. If you like greens, I think you'll love this beautiful color.

 

Thank you for doing the review.

Thanks for a very sympathetic review. I especially like the drawing!

Amazon Green is one of my favourites - it is a pure, intensive green without blue streaks.

I'm glad for this review, because this is a color I wouldn't like, sadly.

Thanks much for the very nice review. And I like your sketch. Could someone compare this to R&K Verdura?

May you have pens you enjoy, with plenty of paper and ink. :)

Please use only my FPN name "Gran" in your posts. Thanks very much!

This is a bit off-topic, but I love the trade suggestion in you signature, Gran. If I lived in the US and had the Sheaffer you were looking for I'd trade it instantly for your cookies! I might even look for the pen to be able to trade a pen for the cookies. :)

I cracked open a bottle of Caran d'Ache Amazon for St. Patrick's Day. (I had already inked two other green pens with Private Reserve Sherwood Green and J Herbin Lierre Sauvage). The Amazon was by far my favorite. Truly the color of a healthy shamrock. (On my monitor, the reviewer's exemplar is much lighter and much yellower.) The Herbin ink is pretty, but lighter. The Sherwood Green darker.

 

I just received all the Caran d'Ache earth colors as a gift, together with four other bottles that I have not even opened yet. (I have great friends!) :D

you don't get much for your money.

No, plus in a noodlers sized jar, it would cost ya $60 USD... but a nice green.

Thanks for the review, I like your drawing.

 

I've been interested in this ink for a while now; the color looks good and the bottle is even better. Sadly, I'm too cheap to spend that much $$ on a bottle of ink. :embarrassed_smile:

 

...it's very very very simmilar to Private Reserve Spearmint... Noodlers Gruene Cactus is also very close...

Well, have you calculated the cost of bottled water per gallon if you buy in in the little 8 oz bottles? It runs over $20.00 per gallon. About 5 times the cost of gasoline.

 

On the other hand, I wouldn't want to drink ink...

Oh yeah, I'm definitely too cheap to dish out $15 + S&H for ink (Pear Tree Pens is having a sale). But Storm is just so freakin' GORGEOUS.... :crybaby:

Check out this site.

With exchange rate its' about 8 dollars a bottle. Not sure on shipping, but definitely cheaper way.

 

Unfortunately I don't see Storm there, not sure why! - Edit - scratch that, it's under lightning.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
