Ink Review: Diamine Sherwood Green

My final review for the three Diamine inks I recently purchased from jetpens.com. As far as my preferences, I would probably rank them as 1) Oxblood, 2) Sherwood Green, and 3) Majestic Purple. All three are excellent inks, bargain priced, and fine performers; my ranking is just based on which colors I would probably use more frequently.



Please note that the quotation is the writing sample should read "If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live."

That's a very pretty green. I need some green, too.

I have a sample of the Green, looks good.
Where did you get the sample sheet? I need some of those. I try to keep up with the samples on my notebook, but really need something more organized.

Bil

Hi, Bil,

I downloaded a copy of the form from Fountain Pen Network. Here's a link directly to the PDF: http://www.riorondo.com/fpn/InkReviewA4.pdf

After trying Sherwood, Noodler's Zhivago, and Noodler's Bad Gator... the Sherwood is my favorite. It's not so green as to be unprofessional in a business setting, yet it's green enough to stand out from black and make the statement "Yeah, I'm cool enough to write with Green."

Thanks for that Larry. I haven,t used my Sherwood Green yet, but did use the Oxblood, I liked it a lot. I want to start a seperate journal just for the different pens and inks that I try. I have noticed that some inks don't seem to flow as well, or are hard to get started, when the pen sits for a day or two. Of course I will have to test the ink in different pens, to evaluate whether pen, or ink. And I want pens that writes right off the bat. So far I have noticed the Waterman cartridges work every time in one pen, I need to test it in another.
Regards,
Bil

Another great one Larry thanks for the write up

Oooo, I needed a St. Patty's day green ink too. Might have to grab a bottle for next year.

It doubles for a Christmas ink too!

Not normally a green fan but that looks quite good.
Thanks for the review

I own no green inks besides some greenish blacks. This is an awesome color and looks right up my alley. Despite jetpens selling out of practically every Diamine ink I wanted, guess I'll find somewhere else to pick it up!
