I received sixteen samples (marked in cursive) from well known ink enabler - Cyber6. Thank you Claudia You rock!

Light Green is wet and rather saturated ink. It's not super strong but vibrant enough to catch attention. There's no water resistance to it but other parametres are great. I like this one.

Nice! But Lime Green looks more interesting!

This is one of the Oster inks I'm not keen on. It's very ordinary.

I like it as a lighter green, Lierre Sauvage being my lightest at the moment. Emerald is a little more blue which I am not after right now.

I love this ink..and I always love your reviews..

[amberleadavis]

I'm liking this one more than I thought I would. Too many bright / light greens are too light for actual use. This one is great for doodles and writing. Thank you, Vis for another great review. Thank you Cyber6 for enabling.

Not a color for me (this one actually gave me the "nails on a chalkboard" heebie jeebies ). I prefer softer greens (Robert Oster Moss is particularly nice -- once the weather turns better I'm *definitely* ordering a bottle of that one ).

Thanks for the review though.
