Which Ink For My Green Pen


Mesu

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have recently acquired few Deccan ebonite pens and i am looking for an ink for the green in the pic.

 

I like matching the color of the inks to my pens. Which ink color would be good in this pen?

 

I am not looking for a perfect match. Any shade which comes close would be great. This would be a daily use pen and i prefer inks which are wet.

How about Noodler's Gruene Cactus Eel...wet and wonderful!

Or Diamine Green-Black if you want darker

Or if you are looking for a nice ink that is a bit unique...Organics Studio "Join or Die" (green/sepia) or their brighter "Baum" ink...

Sooo many wonderful greens!

Diamine Sherwood Green is a great dark green that I use in my green Parker 45

I like Diamine Umber a lot, a somewhat subdued green that doesn't shout.

Hello Mesu,

 

Have you ever considered a complementary color? Brown is an excellent complement to green- Waterman Havana Brown for instance.

 

All the best,

I've been using Diamine Ultragreen on my green Advocate. Good combo!

I have to admit that I forgot about Diamine Umber (in my head, being married to an Artist, Umber is a reddish brown color)... Never understood why Diamine named a wonderful green Umber...but it is a great color!

R&K Verdura beats MB Irish Green by a nose, Pelikan 4001 green is third by a head. Medium green-green shading inks.

Price winner Pelikan, R&K then MB.

I got Pelikan green, and really was only going to need one...right? :lticaptd:

A year and 11 greens later. :vbg:

 

Do get good to better papers, 90g minimum.

Laser paper only. :thumbup:

Never ink jet.

And I can not see how a combo paper can work with out FP compromises. :angry:

 

Of course in the States for a quick visit...grabbed all the Southworth paper in the world to find out it combo paper.

Good paper still....but perhaps it would be better if it wasn't combo.

My favorite green pen uses J. Herbin Lierre Sauvage, mostly at work. My second favorite uses Gruen Cactus. I have a silver pen that likes Diamine Apple Glory, but that's not a green for everyone. I use it for my personal notebook only. To me, it's just a happy color.

Hello Mesu,

 

You're welcome- and I have Ancient Copper myself- that would be a beautiful color for that pen. ;)

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
