Nice to see the other Penman colors get some attention. No shame in buying it for the bottle - that bottle is one of the classics.

 

The ink is nice too, although it doesn't do for green what Sapphire did for blue.

 

Thanks for the review!

Nice descontinued ink ...Any idea which brand can it replace it ??

Way back I had a few cartridges of this which I really enjoyed. I think I used the last one up in college. It's a really nice shade of green.

This was the only color of Penman that I bought. I used it up and saved the bottle. Like Amberjack said a classic in its own right. Never bought any other color as I was just embarking on my green phase. Now there is such a proliferation of greens (and many other colors) Penman Emerald lives on in our respective memories (as will MB Racing Green in others' memories)

For similar color and behavior, try the Faber Castel Moss Green. Noodler's V-Mail GI Green is the most similar in color and fade resistance.

Thanks for the review! It's a pity all the Penman inks are discontinued.

Wonderful review! Penman Emerald has been my favourite green since the late 90's. Was so fortunate to pick up two bottles locally only last week.

Sigmum.. you are going to hate me... I was the one who bought the ONLY bottle of Sapphire the vendor had...

 

I also bought from him, an empty bottle of Penman Mocha for $2..

I just got my Christmas cards out. I addressed the envelopes with J. Herbin Rouge Hematite and wrote in the cards with Parker Penman Emerald. Found in my parents basement. Such a great green ink!
