Dark almost-black with cool shadow green undertones

Super dark, concentrated, and lubricated cool, shadow green. I tend to like concentrated almost-blacks as a rule, so this is a favorite for me.

Elegant dark shadow green

I loved this ink! It's a super concentrated ink with nice lubricated writing during my dip test. It's so concentrated that it will mostly come across as black with some nib/paper combinations with hints of a cool shadow green. I enjoy most deeply saturated almost blacks, and this is a great one!

Rich unusual 'black'

Much more interesting than black. I like it better than its photo. Or Diamine green/black. Or Sailor Studio 762. I do like Monterverde jade noir. This is like dried kelp. It's different. The green is dark with a blue gray cast. Drops has black sheen (no green). I like it with fine nib. haven't used a med. or stub.

A Beautiful Professional Green

I love this ink. I love interesting greens, but they are not always office appropriate. This, however, is professional enough for work, but is also very interesting and beautiful.

In my Sailor Pro Gear Slim with a medium fine nib, the ink is pretty true to the colors in the picture. I think it's on the lighter side, it looks more like the bottom green color than the brownish sheen in the swatch. I like the murkiness of the ink and it flowed well in my pen, easy to clean too. I did notice that it smells like chemicals, I didn't mind it but if you're sensitive to smells then you might mind it a little more

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
