Zypressengrun (Cypress Green) - Standardgraph

[visvamitra]

Standardgraph Zeichentechnik GmbH is german manufacturer of technical drawing instruments, rulers and pencil sharpeners. They also have inks. They manufacture and distribute their own calligraphy products and products from the company Rubinato. I believe Standardgraph inks are made in Germany by Standardgraph.

 

Tehy offer palette of 24 colors. I'm going to try all of them and review them. It'll take time but I'll do it My ambition is to present inks of less known companies as my input here. Of course I stay open to all inks and review bnis and small names. However I must confess I have some sort of weakness for smaller companies and less known brands. I won't favor them, I'll be honest though.

 

Cypress Green has too much cyan to my taste. It's one of few shades og green I sincerily dislike. It's well behaved and has nice flow but I will never use it because of the color.

 

Please - remember that in most of my reviews I use very wet pens. Kaweco Sport turned to eyedropper always leaves line that is saturated. If you're notorious fine nib user you may be disappointed by some of inks that appear rich in color in my reviews. They are but only in broad, wet nibs that I use use on everyday basis. I don't really like fine nibs so I almost never use them to review inks.

It reminds me of R&K's Smaragdgrün.

[visvamitra]

Yes - it's similar. I dislike both

I used to like my bottle of Smaragdgrun but I guess my taste has changed. Now I find it too blue for a green. I prefer 'proper' greens like Lierre sauvage now.

It is also similar to the Callifolio green you just reviewed too, right?
