Sherwood Green - Diamine

[visvamitra]

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

Sherwood Green is wet and saturated dark green ink. In flex pens the shading will be dramatic. In regular nibs it will be still visible. Basically the ink behaves well however it's not smudge resistant. If your hands tend to be sweaty you risk to smudge text written with Sherwood Green.

Not my green, though I think I may have a bottle. Prefer the murkier ones, but thanks for the excellent review.

Interesting color. Looks a bit darker than Aventurine, and kind of like Shin-Ryoku.

Thank you for the review. Diamine Sherwood Green is a great green ink. I know someone on FPN who says it's the only green ink that you will ever need.

Another great review and it's yet another great green from Diamine.

This was my Christmas cards green this year!

Shading with Pelikan M nib is lovely, but Platinum with M turned out much darker line than in the review.

Definitively my type of green...

 

Thank you for the review!!

(With Nakaya.... ! My precioussss...)

Hmm. I like it. I also like Shin Roku and Aventurine. Maybe I should acquire this one? (I'm clearly in danger of running out of ink - ha ha)

Just got my first bottle, and it has settled in as a favorite winter ink pretty quickly. Love the deep fir-tree green, the dark red sheen, and the smoothness. A wonderful writing-a-letter-to-a-friend-while-sipping-a-mug-of-tea-on-a-chilly-January-afternoon ink.
