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

http://sheismylawyer.com/INK/attachments/IMG0590.jpgThe two greens are Vedun Green (Swisher Exclusive) and Catalpa (Australian Exclusive). Under UV light - the inks are totally different. Sorry I don't have a picture of that, but I'll try.

Catalpa is much greener and not as murky? DGA looks much more turquoise.

 

Below is Catalpa

I have a follow up report on cleanup. The ink seams like it wants to be a pain, just like it seems like it wants to feather, but it isn't. One short soak and it cleaned right out. On the other hand my bottle already has some blue precipitate on the bottom, so make sure to shake it up. It didn't stain my Pilot 823 nor did it leave any residue.

I've noticed that most Noodler's "exclusive" inks... (the eternals and bulletproof type) all look like paint...

 

The Russians Series... the Singapore Series... etc...

THE GREEN INK THAT FADES TO CAVALRY BLUE OVER TIME. GENERAL SHERIDAN , THE SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE ARMIES OF THE WEST, GAVE THE FINAL APPROVAL TO CHANGE THE UNIFORM COLORS AFTER THE CIVIL WAR AND WAS THEN USED BY THE ARMIES OF THE WEST. HIS HOME WAS AT FORT SAM HOUSTON IN TEXAS, AS WELL AS EISENHOWER AND PERSHING, BOTH OF WHICH ARE STILL INTACT TODAY.
FORT SAM HOUSTON WAS THE TRAINING GROUND FOR EISENHOWER, PERSHING AS WELL AS PATTON AND WAS ALSO THE “early pentagon” so to speak, SERVING AS THE HEADQUARTERS FOR THE ARMY OF WORLD WAR 1.
THE UNIQUE INK, GENERALS OF THE ARMIES ,HAD ITS DEBUT AT THE DALLAS PEN SHOW 2014 IN TEXAS. WE ARE PLEASED TO OFFER THIS NEW AND INNOVATIVE INK TO ALL OF OUR DEALERS.
PRODUCT CODE # 19073
GENERALS OF THE ARMIES 3 oz
MSRP $12.50

Oh and for those of us who didn't know how to name those colors: That's Calvary Blue --- I would have thought it was CAVALRY (those soldiers on horses) and not Calvery (a site outside Jerusalem's walls).

 

NOTE: THE COLOR OF THE THIRD SWATCH STILL HAS A TOUCH OF GREEN AS IT IS DRYING, Also don’t be surprised by the color in the bottle as you can see. VERY GREEN UNTIL IT CHANGES TO CALVARY BLUE.

Received my shipment of GotA last night, along with my TWSBI 580 USA. Inked up and I've been using it at work all day today. Loving the ink. First off, it looks stunning in a demonstrator. It's like having a vial of the deepest Atlantic Ocean. In use, it's a very well-behaved ink. Lays down smooth, no feathering for me at all. Bit of a slow drier. Some shading, though not a lot. A bit on the "pale" side - I generally prefer more saturation, but it's such an interesting hue that I'm happy with it nonetheless. Wet, it's very green, but almost instantly as it dries much of the green fades to a dusty blue-green. Haven't seen much change beyond that, but I also haven't given any pages much exposure to light of any kind. Certainly not to UV light on this very cloudy DC day.

 

I'm already making a mental list of what three pens and inks I'll be taking with me on a sailing trip in the Caribbean this winter, and after just a few hours GotA is definitely on the short list.

A page of notes I left open in my office over the weekend has utterly shifted from the dusty blue-green to a very flat medium blue. Still a bit chalky in tone. A beautiful color. And the slight shading has disappeared entirely; it's now a very even color across the page. A really remarkable transformation! Lovely ink. And no visible change to the color of the ink in my pen so far, even though it's a demonstrator and got a lot of exposure to light over the weekend. This ink is definitely coming sailing with me this winter - it's going to be fun to have my sketchbook changing color from day to day under the Caribbean sun!

 

Edit: I just cracked open a Moleskine notebook in which I took some notes with GotA on Friday. On one page where I took notes and then turned the page, and basically never opened to that page again until just now, there's still a lot of green in the ink. On another page where I took notes and left the notebook open to that page most of Friday afternoon, GotA has turned completely blue. But it's a lighter blue than on the cheap copy paper on which I got the results reported in the paragraph above. And on Moleskine, the fully blue GotA has retained a hint of the original shading.
