First-time reviewer here - be gentle. Sorry about my atrocious handwriting!

Hmmm. That shows more of my constant inner-monologue than is perhaps wise! Anyway, I love this ink, even if it can't withstand any water at all.

:lol:

 

It shows you have an inner dialog, true. Then again, if all you're worried about is ink on your fingers, I doubt you're a manace to society...

Very nice shade of green, and you can't go wrong with Diamine :)

 

Ta! It's lovely - it's almost black when it goes down, but dries just a bit lighter.

For marking up papers or underlining you might try private reserve Spearmint. It is lighter and brighter. I also use J Herbin Lierre Sauvage for markup. You might like to try that too.

Wow, I think it look great. Thank you for your first review!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Lovely! I'm looking to try a new green. This just may be the one. Thank you for the review.

We've been told that we should be marking in red - I used to use Kelly Green, which was great. At the moment I'm using Oxblood and Deep Magenta. I'm a bit of a Diamine fanboy, I'm afraid!

You're welcome! Thanks for the positivity!

 

Looks like it might have good shading in a flex pen.

I think it probably would. I do swap and change sometimes. I'm considering putting this in the Safari with the massive nib, and using the midnight in my Apogee.

You're welcome - it really is a good fun colour. You can actually see it get brighter as it dries. Quite hypnotic...

In my wet writing Conway Stewart 58, vintage, this Ink appears much darker. It does shade nicely, and is well behaved.

One of my favourite greens ever :)
A pleasure to write it, excellent lubrication (I dislike dry inks), and the colour (the shading as well) are nothing less than fantastic, at least to me. I can recommend this ink to anyone, liking the colour, and do it without any hesitation.

2 Parker Frontiers, 1 Lamy Safari, 1 MB 146, 1 Pilot MR and new friends: M805 in blue and an M 420. Yay!

Current holy grail: Caran d'Ache Leman Bicolor in saffron or possibly white. Not yet sure.

Good to know! I too hate dry inks. Thank you for sharing.

      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
