Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink.

Dark Forest Green, Almost Black

Noodler’s Zhivago is a very dark green, perfect for those business applications that tilt away from color and favor black. Zhivago is green but so dark it doesn’t set off conventional alarms.

Good color, if pen is right.

I was appealed by green shade it can give, but... It will be visible only under right conditions. In my VAC 700R Iris it's just plain black ink with my Midori and Leuchtturm notebooks. And after I accidently smeared it first time, I kinda understood why. Seems like green component is absorbing kind of faster than black one. So if you're writing with wet enough nib, green tint is basically getting buried under black, it's very apparent after smearing/washing. This theory is supported also when you write italic, on apexes of letters, where your nib turns, green gets little more visible, coz coat of ink is thinner. Also this applies to side strokes. And on cheaper paper, it bleeds green on other side. So in my short experience with this ink, I guess you need dry nib to take advantage of green shade. In my Metropolitan it kinda looks better, but I suspect finer nib is not reason, coz It doesn't do justice for shading potential of this ink. So it really need nib broad enough, but dry. Or counterintuitive, I suspect it has potential with stub nib on drier side, if this possible. As for now I decided to use this ink for sketching, till I manage to find suitable pen for it. P.S. Also on good side, almost no feathering on office paper, I kinda was surprised.

Nearly Black

A well-behaved dark ink and a very slight green tint. It flows well, does not bleed through, and is just plain appealing to read. Out of any ink I have, I most enjoy reviewing notes made with this ink. I've been using this for 1 1/2 years now and expect to finish the bottle.

Noodlers Zhivago ink

I like this ink a lot. It lays down a nice dark black, but goes right to a lovely shadowy green when diluted. A good rich subtle color that behaves well even on papers with texture, though its dark lines look best on a smooth, bright paper.

Love Noodlers!

I love this ink. It seems to take a bit extra time to dry...but the color is great, and it doesn't seem to mess with my pen. It was easy to clean up (out of the pen). I will be purchasing this one again!
