I just wanted to add my praise to those already posted. This is an amazing review and perfect timing as I'm just looking for my first green ink.

 

Thank you!!!

This is a great review, many thanks. I have been trying to choose a green ink ever since the '60s when I read Ian Fleming & Bond read notes written in "M's distinctive green ink."

Excellent review and resource, thank you so very much.

 

I use green in my MB Verne and hope to get through dozens of green shades over the next decades.

Tad, I've come back to this comparison multiple times. Thank you for all the work!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

"""" I can also say that I'm really, really tired of cleaning pens :blink: """"

 

A while back I did 17 pens and 47 papers with ESSR. Before that I'd thought to do a 15 pen, 15 paper test of inks. It became work, when cleaning pens.

 

No, if lucky....8 pens, 5-6 papers.....more than likely 5 pens, five papers.

 

Again thanks...since my first view I've added a few green inks and have two on my next to buy list.

 

I still think Pelikan 4001 Green a most ignored good ink.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

Tad, psst, I'm over here.... behind the bushes...

I own a shelf full of inks, and a wallet full of pens, and every now and then I sit down and decide to write a first time review of an ink or a pen I have.

Today I thought about comparing the green inks I own, bit the bullet, had a quick look here on FPN and found this.

The Result?

I'm staying behind the bushes.

This is class work - thank you. :thumbup:

Congratulations on the excellent review! I just feel bad that Private Reserve Cadillac Green was not included. It's such an underrated tone of green, in my opinion...
