Mont Blanc Irish Green Bottled Ink Review


Mafia Geek

Recommended Posts

I love the Montblanc seaweed green ink. A perfect blend of green, grey and brown. Becoming harder and harder to find, at regular price. Bought a dozen bottles a few months back,

Is this ink seaweed green? Looks more like a kelly green to me. :huh:

Thanks for the feedback and comments.

 

In the review when I say "dark shade of green" I meant more that it was a good fully saturated green. Some greens can come across as very washed out or as if they have been diluted. This one didn't, it was fully saturated even when writing with fine tipped pens. It is a darker shade of green, much darker and I would call it green-black rather than green.

 

It is a rather pleasing ink on the page and filled my green ink search very nicely. The Lamy green that I was using prior was far too washed out for what I wanted a green ink to do.

 

Hope that clears it up a little.

This just reminds me how personal taste varies.

 

I have a bottle of this ink and I loathe it. I think the colour is cloying and looking at it makes my tongue curl (& not I a good way). I hate the way it looks on white paper and no matter how hard I try, it's the only ink I own (a total of about 30 bottles) that I don't like. It's even worse than J. Herbin Reseda Green.

 

I am glad you all like it and I love the different tastes and views of members.

I love this shade of green - cheery, optimistic, easy on the eyes.

I collect green ink, but I might skip this one as well.

Thanks for the review. It's good to know that it's water-resistent. I have it in my Pelikan and this green can always lift up my mood instantly when I write with it. :thumbup:

I've been trying this ink out lately. Thank you for the suggestion.

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