Ha!

Thank you.

I was just going to kindly ask if you could pop it alongside my fave Diamine ink - you read my mind. :)

 

Looking forward to release date. This looks like it will fill the gap nicely between KWZ Pea Green and Salamander. :wub:

Well now, that's much better, looks more like the real thing. I thought at first everything was black and thus the late reply. Okay, with a hint of salamander. But a good green. Very subtle, I must say (the green, but your review as well). Thanks for the good review! Now it's time for yet another order. The first one's on the house!

Now that's my kind of green!

Thank you for the review. I like this darker, not so bright green; it looks similar to DeAtramentis Jane Austen on my monitor so although I want, I might not need. Do you happen to have any Miss Austen to compare it to?

I'm sorry but I don't have the Miss Austen at all. Maybe someone else can put up a scan of it.

I don't see an "olive" tint on it...

Thank you Captain. I was a bit unclear though - I have DA Jane Austen and was hoping for a side by side to move my want over into a need (as if I need to add to my already lifetime supply of ink :P )

Hmm, your scan of Jane Austen seems (to my monitor again) to be a fair bit brighter than what I get from my pens and paper. But looking again at the Captain's samples above, the Diamine does look like it has more olive than my DA Jane Austen, maybe closer to Herbin Vert Empire? I don't know, I have a bit of a hard time comparing colours. Might be worth a sample at some point though.

Wowsa, what a difference the "auto" color calibration makes. I really liked the soaks because it helped me to see the differences in the dyes. Thank you for the review.

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

Despite all the positivity towards the new scans, I actually preferred the ink in the first scans (even though it wasn't really the ink).

It seems before it had some character and uniqueness to it but now it's kinda just a generic boring green :/

It reminds me of Stipula Calamo Musk

 

 

I just did a comparison on the other Classic Green thread and can say it's nothing like Verde Muschiato, which looks straight brown by comparison.

 

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/308362-classic-green-diamine/?p=3633193

 

It's like halfway between Sailor Tokiwa Matsu and Diamine Evergreen. I'd love to see it compared with Diamine Emerald. I'd think emerald would be a blue-green, but Diamine's version is yellow-green.

adding bright sun version:

the little swatch is Stipula Sepia, added since the Muschiato looks so brown.

Rad - thank you, that is a great comparison. We'd love to see that in the Green Swatch list too. https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/279433-inky-t-o-d-color-swatches-green-please-post-your-pictures-and-tell-us-your-thoughts/

Chrissy, the board software did not index the reviews automatically and Saskia-Madding was doing them by hand. When she became super busy with life, the index fell behind. Lapis has been trying to catch up all the reviews. If he has missed any of your reviews, please send him a PM. I know I appreciate the effort it takes to do a review and we would all like a fast way to find (your) reviews.

      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
