on salePlatinum Classic Forest Black - 60ml Bottled Ink

Something different from my usual blue choices. I'm feeling very spring-y using it. (Although it would feel good in winter, too, 'cause it looks like evergreen.)

Loving it! Works great in my Noodlers Nib Creeper pen. Dries fast enough and stays there.

I have been very pleased with this ink for everyday use. I have been using this in my TWSBI with a bold nib and have not had any issues with ink flow. With a bold nib there is less shading but it does still show. When I wet the paper after the ink had dried, the green color washed away but you could still see the writing very distinctly in black. Writes very well on cheap paper. I will definitely be trying other inks in this line!

I was so excited to have a green/black ink for my Lamy Safari pens but this one failed me, big time. It's a little light to begin with and does dry a little darker. But, I can't even write a lengthy paragraph without the ink fading down to nothing. I've changed pens, changed nibs, etc., thinking that maybe the problem is with the pen, but no improvements. What's odd is when I remove a pen's nib end and put it in water to clean it, there is zero residue that flows like it does with all other inks so it's as though ink is not getting through to the nib. But how when every other ink I use in 5 of my Lamy's do just fine? So after 3 frustrating days of testing, washing, changing, etc., I give up. Sadly disappointed considering the black platinum works just great in all of my pens. BTW, looks great when used with a brush or a dip pen.
