Thank you @InesF & @RedPie for the encouragement

 

I shall now go on to posts 2, 3, & 4 in this thread

[Mercian]

Here now is my attempt to restore the pictures to visvamitra's second post in this thread.

 

Readers should note that these pictures were first posted in May of 2014.

As such, it is possible that some of the inks depicted in these pictures may have been reformulated since then.

 

Anyway, that's enough of my blathering, here is...

WATERPROOF OR NOT

 

 

SUMMARY

 

I'm glad that I don't have to choose only one green ink to use. It would be extremely hard to choose just one. If I had to choose I would choose betweeen Graf von Faber Castell Moss Green and Nicpoń's Zielony Sosnowy (Pine Green). But then there's so much more greens that I need in my rotation: Olde Emerald by Franklin-Christoph, Alt-Goldgrun by Rohrer & Klingner, Amazon by Caran d'Ache, Irish Green by Montbland Chiku-Rin by Pilot.

 

 

 

I like most of greens. There are however exceptions. And these exceptions - inks that I dislike are: Green - Parker (it's ugly, worst green ever; well maybe not worst, Sheaffer's green is even worse), Uranium - Organics Studio (ugly as well), Zielony Trawiasty (grass green) - Nicpoń (meh) and Smaragdgrun - Rohrer & Klingner.

 

 

 

I hope you like the comparison and find it useful.

Well, I find this thread to be very useful indeed, even ten years after it was first created.
