Montblanc Irish Green

[lgsoltek]

This is my most recent green acquisition and I love it. It's a rich colour, and doesn't have too much blue in it. I dislike greens leaning toward too much blue. Of course, my grail green is Caran d'Ache Amazon but sadly that's nowhere to be found anymore...

Writing samples

The water resistance is a nice surprise.

Comparison

Greens compared: Akkerman #28, Sailor Bung Box Happiness, R&K Verdura, Montblanc Irish Green, J. Herbin Lierre sauvage, Iroshizuku Shin-ryoku and R&K Gelbgrün. The last one is a calligraphy pigmented ink, not for use in fountain pens.

I and at work now and have terrible monitor here so all colors are..., but I like Montblanc Irish Green, beautiful color! Great work, thank you!

Irish Green is one of my favorite greens! Thanks for sharing the review.

Thanks for your review, and the comparisons - always helpful.

 

Another great quality about Irish Green is that it flushes really easily. Love that in an ink!

This is my next ink purchase, though Bung Box Happiness looks great there as well. I really like your ink reviews, thank you!

Its an interesting green, still battling with the thought to buy or not to buy.

Fabulous review, as always! Thank you so much. I love this colour and it is in a gorgeously marbled blue/ chrome Sheaffer 300 - the flow and colour are simply sublime and I have had no problems with it whatsoever. It is also an incredible companion to MB's Corn Poppy Red. Heaven

I agree. Irish Green and Corn Poppy Red, perfect red vs green match.

One of my favorite green inks. Fantastic review and pics of an awesome green ink!

Amazing review....

Iam now sure I don't want this

I used to dislike the color green generally with a passion. One day I just decided to go for MB IG and have been loving the color green, generally, since

 

Great ink!

I love this shade of green, but my main concern in the bottle that Mont Blanc uses. How inconvenient is the shape of the bottle when filling the pen? Or if it is convenient, in what way is it convenient?

[amberleadavis]

Gatorboy, I really like the MB bottles.

This is a lovely color of green. I wonder how it compares to the J. Herbin Lierre Sauvage in it's behavior? I like both of them. Green is my favorite ink color.

Nice review, thanks.

[Green Ink]

Thanks for the review. And for all your other reviews!

 

I enjoyed a sample and then ordered a bottle. It's a classic.

I don't care for the colour but I'll read any review you post. Always a treat for the eyes. Thanks so much for your time and attention to detail

IMHO not more or less inconvenient than any other bottle... You might need a helping hand for the last bit though...

 

Great review! Great color. One of my hardrunners...

Many people adore the shoe-style bottles, because they provide a big and a small reservoir, the latter being useful when there is little ink left. What's more, the bottleneck is quite wide. I like it. They are stable and comfortable to use.
