I really like the eel inks, love the lubricity and glide over paper feeling...as a big fan of green inks this is one of my favorites.

Love, love, love the happy green of this ink!

Yeah, it has a great glide to it, especially in the smooth nib of my Pilot Metropolitan. I think this is my favorite green yet.

 

Love, love, love the happy green of this ink!

I agree, Erick. It's a much warmer (yellower) green than Omas Green or Lamy Green.

 

Another cool review. Thanks! I look forward to more.

 

Thanks, MisterBoll! I bought forty-three ink samples from The Goulet Pen Company, so you have a lot to look forward to from me!

 

Thank you!!

You're very welcome, torstar! Though it sounds like you didn't need my review to know how great this ink is to use. ^^

 

Nice review! Reminds me of Amazon.

Thanks, Mike! My review reminds you of Amazon.com?

Mike was referring to Caran d'Arche Amazon ink...a very nice but now discontinued green

Ah, that makes more sense. I thought it might be an ink, so I had searched Goulet, but of course it wouldn't be on there if it's discontinued. Thanks for the heads up!

jakob: green was a colour use in audits back in the day, so there is that nostaliga/revulsion issue when I fill up a pen with that colour.

I think I am going to rearrange my pen/ink/paper budget OR

quit reading the ink reviews and comparisons :lol:

 

'scuse me, I am off to open my spreadsheet!!!

Great review, I am looking forward to trying my sample of this. It reminds me of Diamine Ultra Green, especially with the shading.
