Thank you! Your posts are both beautiful and amazing. I wish there was some sort of award you could be given for this remarkable work.

@swanjun - Nicpon makes amazing inks They're highly saturated and behave well in most cases. Zielony galusowy is gall ink, you can check the review here.

 

I find on a previous post, you said, "Nicpoń is chemistry PhD Student that's active on Polish fountain pen network. He's created limited line of nice, saturated inks in many colors."

 

I wonder if there's any relation to the Polish fellow referenced in this thread. There's a Zielony Galusowy on his list, too.

It probably is. And I'm definitely in for that gorgeous iron gall.

 

Thanks SO much for this comparison, OP! The splashes are incredible, and I've definitely got my eye on some greens I hadn't before.

Thanks!

+1 on that. This is amazingly comprehensive.

Thank you for an excellent comparison. I have been considering a green ink for some time and this has been a great help. I would like to try Montblanc Irish Green, Penman Emerald and GvFC Moss Green among a few others listed here.

 

As they are difficult to get or expensive I thought I'd give Pelikan Brilliant Green a try. What a result, this is a wonderfully bright and vibrant green with excellent shading with my flex nib. I love it.

 

Had it not been for what must have been a time consuming exercise on your part, I would still be dithering. Still want some Moss Green though.

 

Thanks again!

Wow! Very useful. I love green ink.

[Federalist Pens]

The best comparison I have seen here! Very thorough- Thank You!

 

[visvamitra]

Thank you for your kind words.

[Bo Bo Olson]

Wow!

 

And I thought the 11 green Inks I bought in the year after I got my first...Pelikan 4001...was a lot of green inks.

 

That was very well organized and well done....

[Belles-lettres]

Fabulous work and I thank you profusely! Wow, I can't imagine how much time and focus that required. Will undoubtedly refer back to this for years.

This is most useful! I now have several of these on order and will be searching out more.

[Gloucesterman]

This is amazing! Thanks for all the work you put into this. I absolutely love green ink and have added quite a few to my list to try!

 

+1 for the amazing part. Really awesome way to present the colors of green!

 

Thank you!

Wow, thanks for this amazing analysis, it must have taken an enormous amount of effort. My fav is ebony green but I saw a couple I had not know of and may try.

+25

Truly outstanding work and a great reference, thanks.

 

Diamine 'Woodland Green' is one of my mainstays - there's always a Sheaffer NoNonsense inked & ready for action. This article has prompted me to broaden the range.

[cybaea]

wow. Just wow

Thank you so much for this!

[ArchiMark]

Holy Moly!!!

 

This is the greenest post I've seen since I started visiting FPN!

 

Now, if you can do the same thing for blues, browns, and grays, I'll be all set!!!

 

 

Thank you so much for doing such a comprehensive comparison and sharing the info with everyone here.
