Olive Green (Olivgrün) - De Atramentis

[visvamitra]

De Atramentis is german manufacturer of calligraphy and writing ink. The inks are hand made (the entire production process is done manually in their manufacturing center) by i's founder - Dr. Franz-Josef Jensen. I believe he uses high quality dyes from well established European companies like BASF and Bayer.

De Atramentis offers a variety of "traditional" fountain pen inks and a broad selection of special and scented inks. I believe they should get more attention as the quality od these fluids is very good and some colors are simply stunning.

Olivgrun, though, is ugly and not practical at all.

The splash looks OK but the writing sample is quite terrible... I thought it would be like J.H. Vert Olive or Kobe #22 but it's not.
