Franklin Christoph Emerald #357

 

Having recently purchased a couple Franklin Christoph pens, I was able to obtain ink samples for their current generation inks which include the following:

 

Classic Black

Blue 72

Red 187

Brown 732

Emerald 357

Noir et Bleu

Dark Chocolate

Midnight Emerald

 

The numbers in the ink names indicate their Pantone number. First generation inks which included Black Magic, Dark Denim, and Syrah, Syrah which have been re viewed previously, have now been discontinued. There are limited supplies of Black Magic and Dark Denim still available, but don't hesitate if you want to stock up. I think the Dark Denim is awesome and received great reviews here.

 

Today I'll be reviewing Emerald #357 which is an ink I like a lot. It behaves beautifully in any pen or paper I throw at it. To my eye, it's a nice, moderately well saturated middle of the spectrum green. I will be buying a couple bottles of this well behaved green ink. Specifics of this review can be read below.

 

The first, third and forth pages are Rhodia paper. The second page is Franklin Christoph. The last two pages are Canson Tracing paper.

 

Franklin Christoph ink is made in the U.S. and bottled at their Raleigh, NC. facility.

 

Thanks for stopping by. I'll be happy to answer any questions you have about FC Emerald #357.

Addendum: I was just cleaning out my pens after reviewing FC Emerald #357 and should add that this ink is very easy to clean out of pens. Always a plus.

Color from my nightmares But thank you for the review. I'll do my best to stay away from this ink

That is an awesome, detailed. Review. I particularly liked the comparison sheet. Cool! So far, I have only used black ink (Pelikan), and never even considered green, but your review, the written samples, are making me want to try it.

Thanks Vis and Nick for checking out the review. The inks can be purchased directly from Franklin Christoph. They are a great company to deal with.
