Hmm... I haven't tried Cult Pens, Deep Dark Green, but the DD Blue was beautiful.

While the 'Deep Dark Blue' does contain a bit of violet - currently I am looking at it on the Rhodia dotPad, and trying to make a decision on the sudden and surprising red sheen not visible on Clairefontaine paper - the 'Deep Dark Green' appears to show nothing but a green.

 

Paper. Paper. Paper. Diamine 'Salamander' are two different animals on Rhodia dotPad and Clairefontaine.

Agree - I love the DD Blue and it's what lead me to buying all 4 of them. I haven't used the Red or the Brown yet. DD Green is lovely and clearly in the same colour family (?) as DD Blue.

Can anyone recommend a good dark green ink? I'm thinking a deep forest green. I bought a bottle of J Herbin Vert Reseda, which looked good on the swatch on the box, but it's too pale and fluorescent-like for my taste...

I'm currently using Waterman green.

It's a mid to darker green with a slight blue undertone but still on the green shading.

Based on what's been said earlier, I've just bought some Diamine Green Black and dip tested it through five different F nibs. I'm still looking at it on the page. That's all I can do, just look at it, it's not driving me to ink one of them up at all - but as a relative newbie, I'm starting to see that an F nib doesn't really make an ink 'shine'.

Still looking at it.

Diamine Green-Black was one of my first bottles of ink, which I probably would have put in a Safari (EF nib) or Prera (M nib). It fit the bill in terms of a suitable, readable green (something I never found in gel or BP greens), so I was happy. Not wowed, but happy.

 

Then I found Diamine Sherwood Green, which spent months in a Safari/EF combo. Liked it enough to make it my standard green. Great performance, color to my liking, perfectly fine. One day, in a moment of wild abandon :), I switched out the EF for a spare F (Lamy F, more like an Eastern M). Wowee! It now jumps off the page - while still being dark enough for serious writing.

 

You might try the Green-Black with a different nib and see if you like the results. I haven't pulled my bottle out since finding Sherwood, but I suspect you may see a similar shift.

FOr my personal darkish green I like Waterman green. It has the right amount of shading and the tone does lean abit bluish green. Its sufficiently dark enough that it does pop on white paper without looking brownish or greenish grey.

Thanks for the tip FPCG - I have a bottle of Sherwood Green tucked away at the back of the inkshelf, and I'm going to give it a run out tomorrow (the first time in 18 months).

It's dark here at the moment in the U.K. so I'll wait for some natural light tomorrow morning before setting up my nibs and ink stall.

Happy Holidays!

I might be old, but at least I got to see all the best Bands.

      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

      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
