Manufacturers since 1864, Diamine Inks relocated to this purpose built 'state of the art' factory in Liverpool in 1925, where they successfully carried on using the traditional methods and formulas for ink production. Over the years the company has changed hands and are now located close to the world famous Aintree Race Course

Apple Glory is a rather straightforward ink, I haven't noticed any particular behavioral concerns (no staining, nib creep/crud).

Thank you for providing this review, Vis. I may have to consider this when I need a green.

It is the hue of greenbox :) I have never seen such an apple. Could be used for grading, I suppose.

Anyway, belated thanks for the review.

No surprise here, this was on of my early purchases. We do have apples this color here in Las Vegas - don't eat them, they will give you a tummy ache.

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

I like this color, but I'm not sure how often I could use it or whether it would wear on me quickly.

I came into this thread because it showed I'd replied at some point. I didn't remember and seeing the date, it must've been one of my older posts which it was.

 

I'll stick by, GREEN!! I actually like it, not owning or liking much green as it is. Maybe someday if I have a need for a green ink, I'll get this. I love the caran d'ache delicate green, but I'm not paying their prices for that small amount of ink.

 

Despite my car being a literal metallic lime green... odd things in life.

      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
