Papier Plume Forest Green

Recommended Posts

Well, here it is: my first review. Apologies for the meandering thoughts and the abhorrent handwriting! I tried my darndest, but this was the closest I could get to accurate color reproduction. At least the ink is fairly correct, if not the paper. :glare: How does everyone else get it to look so good? :hmm1:

As always, no connection to the store, just a satisfied customer.

Great color. I'm curious to what you or others think this color most compares to in the more widely available ink brands.

Well, based on this page, I'd say the Forest Green is about midway between Caran d'Ache Amazon and Diamine Woodland Green. It's really quite close to the Amazon, just a little less yellow when compared side by side. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience in the green spectrum, so I can't really be much help.

I was going to say diamine woodland green too - I have a bottle and that is almost exactly the colour i get from it.

So I'm opinionated - get over it!!.......No, really - get over it!!

Hmmmm I was going to put up a WANTS list - but that's too long as well ......

Perhaps intruding on the Forest Green review, just want to make an additional push for Papier Plume (papierplume.com) to say that I use their Violet as my exclusive purple. There are color samples on the web site, though on my computer the Violet looks a bit paler than it dries in my white page notebook.

Thanks falika, I didn't realize that Papier Plume had products available online. I'm all for supporting the small business whenever possible.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
