Diamine Old English Emerald ink tested in a Paperblanks lined journal with off white pages. .7 Binderized cursive italic Pelikan M200.
I remember sampling this ink a while back from Pear Tree Pens. Green is a tricky color for me because there are about 100 shades of green that I wouldn't want to write with but fortunately, this is one that I do like. It's not too bright, nor too yellow. It's not a childish (crayon used for coloring grass) green. To me, it's a respectable green.
Very nice flow, fairly well saturated and in this wide nib, shows shading.
My favorite green ink to date.

I love your reviews. I would love to know how one uses an eyedropper to fill a fountain pen? You seem like just the person to do the tutorial.
Thank you plo! Unfortunately, I have never filled a pen with an eyedropper. You might want to search that subject over on the Fountain Pen Network.
Ditto. Diamine Emerald has been my favorite green ink for over three years.
I have been looking for a darker green like this. Thanks.
It's definitely a nice dark green. I like the mandala drawing with it as well!
