Diamine Apple Glory Ink In A Safari Apple Green Pen


LostInBrittany

Recommended Posts

Last week I received a long awaited parcel from cultpens.com. Inside, a green festival : a Lamy Safari Apple Green

and a bottle of Diamine Apple Glory. These two are made to be together, a match made in Heaven for anybody who loves bright green colours.

 

The pen is a M nib, and as most Safari, it writes wonderfully. Wet pen, no skipping, always ready to write, it glides on paper without effort,

leaving behinf a lusty trail of ink. The colour of this 2012 LE is a bright, happy, joyful green, and I really like it a lot, my favorite Safari color.

 

And what about the ink? The perfect match for the pen, Diamine Apple Glory is a vibrant light green, almost the same colour than the pen. I really love it!

I have not rec'd my green Lamy yet, due any day now, but I have yet to give any thought to the ink I will be putting thru it. I went on an ink buying spree last week, so I guess I will have to wait for all my inks to land to see what I purchased in case I did get a green ink to go with my new Lamy.

I like to collect the cheap, cheerful and colourful!

Me too! That is I was planning on this combo as well. Can't wait for the goulets to get them in. Thanks for the review! I wonder how this compares to Diamine Jade - this seems more blue and a little more saturated, so I'm telling myself it'll be okay to get this one too ;)

At first, I thought the ink might be too bright to match the pen, but after mine arrived today, I'd say it's a pretty durn good match. The apple green Safari is BRIGHT. :blink:

      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
