I had heard a great deal about this colour, but nobody was able to describe the colour very well to me. Thank you for posting this review.

Nice review. I find it works well for Xmas cards

Hello! Is this 1990's Parker Penman ink? I used to love Penman sapphire blue, but it ruined two piston-filled pens, a Pelikan M800 and an OMAS Milord. It was necessary for both pens to have the barrels replaced. I hope you won't suffer any ill effects from Penman ink, but you might want to flush your pen often.

Regards, Robert

Thanks for the review. I would like to see it from a drier nib to see if more of the green comes out and not so dark. Have you tried that yet?

Robert,

I am sorry to hear of your troubles but I have often seen comments about problems with Penman inks and yet yours is the first actual example from someone who has had a problem themselves that I have read. Is it significant that both pens were piston fillers? I don't know, but I have used Penman inks for many years now in different convertor-filled pens without any trouble. But thank you for posting real-life evidence.

ps I hope this is not highjacking or some other thread crime!

I know these bottles are at least 20 years ago because that's when this former Parker employee retired, and had a bunch of unopened bottles and pens from when he worked there. The Emerald looks gorgeous after all this time, and I thought I would post an update in this thread with a finer nib.
