Anderson Green Bay

[white_lotus]

Well, at last I'm getting to uploading my review of the Anderson Pens ink "Green Bay". There had been retorts that these were "dry" inks. But that doesn't seem to be the case with this ink. Good normal pen wetness I think.

 

It was said that this ink resembles the discontinued Sailor Epinard. I only recently received a sample of the latter so can't say for certain, but this is a "spinach-y" colored green. I quite like it.

 

It's unclear how much longer these inks will be available, probably until stocks run out. The maker of these Anderson Pens inks has discontinued operations from what I understand, and they have not been able to find another source.

 

The usual papers MvL=Mohawk via Linen, Hij=Hammermill 28 lb inkjet, TR=Tomoe River.

 

This ink is not water resistant at all. I think the colors are pretty accurate here.

Nice review! Epinard sounds good although I find your new ink here much bluer, My Epinard is browner. Do you know who the manufacturer was?

From what I understand it was Scribal Workshop, but these were not the same as the inks under that brand, which were noted as being dry.

Great review!

Beautiful colour but horrible water sensitivity/resistance.

I have this ink as well as Anderson's Wood Violet. Both are nice deep colors with decent shading but on the dry side and can't keep up well with flex. Overall they are pleasing inks.

Thank you reviewing the Anderson inks

I just came across three colors I didn't know I had so seeing your reviews was very timely
