I really like the eel inks, love the lubricity and glide over paper feeling...as a big fan of green inks this is one of my favorites.

Yeah, it has a great glide to it, especially in the smooth nib of my Pilot Metropolitan. I think this is my favorite green yet.

 

Love, love, love the happy green of this ink!

I agree, Erick. It's a much warmer (yellower) green than Omas Green or Lamy Green.

 

Another cool review. Thanks! I look forward to more.

 

Thanks, MisterBoll! I bought forty-three ink samples from The Goulet Pen Company, so you have a lot to look forward to from me! :)

 

Thank you!!

 

One of the greens I put into rotation a few times a year.

 

You're very welcome, torstar! Though it sounds like you didn't need my review to know how great this ink is to use. ^^

 

Nice review! Reminds me of Amazon.

 

Mike

 

Thanks, Mike! My review reminds you of Amazon.com?

Ah, that makes more sense. I thought it might be an ink, so I had searched Goulet, but of course it wouldn't be on there if it's discontinued. Thanks for the heads up!

jakob: green was a colour use in audits back in the day, so there is that nostaliga/revulsion issue when I fill up a pen with that colour.

Great review, I am looking forward to trying my sample of this. It reminds me of Diamine Ultra Green, especially with the shading.

      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.
