InkFlash - Mont Blanc Irish Green

InkFlashes are short and quick presentations that show just enough detail to get a feel for the ink. I bought this Irish Green years ago, but didn't review it yet. A fairly standard green, and better in person than I expected.

 

Rhodia DotPad N° 16

 

 

A bit weak and underpowered in the EF-nib, but it recovers nicely with broader nibs.

Writing sample on papers good and bad

 

 

 Written with Lamy Safari M-nib. The bleed-through test is done as follows: 1x, 2x and 3x fill of the squares from left to right, to get increasing saturation of the paper. Beware that on the reverse side, the most saturated square appears on the left.

 

 And finally a quick doodle

Thanks, @namrehsnoom!  The chroma surprised me - I wasn't expecting that grey dot that stays behind.  And your comparison demonstrates perfectly that this ink sits right in the middle of what we call "green".    Most of all, I love your doodle - they're like little world-flowers.

@namrehsnoom the best part of this review is the the "doodle". I'm guessing the blue is from another ink? Or is it computational? Regardless, it is gorgeous and the type of flower, which would grow in the steampunk universe.  🙏

Just a bit of bleach applied with a Q-tip cotton swab

I find this behavior strange. It kind of becomes another ink from broad forward. That is my preferred nib size and green looks much better…I think.🤔

Maybe that gives it a richer tone, compared to green green?

 

Anyway. Great review. Keep em coming 🤗
